Major corn silage silo benefits

February 06, 2025

Barley corn, which is corn mashed in the milk - ripening stage and wax - ripening stage, has long - overlooked advantages. In the context of feed processing, farmers habitually use the mature grain of corn as a concentrate feed, but they are reluctant to cut corn into silage during milk - ripening and wax - ripening. However, there are actually many benefits to using silage corn to make silage.

Nutritional superiority: Compared with corn harvested after ripening, barley corn has 15% higher total nutrient content per unit area, similar digestible crude protein content, and more than 20 times higher carotene content. The nutritional characteristics of barley corn are: rich in carbohydrates, more soluble carbohydrates, slightly sweet, cattle and sheep love to eat, and its digestibility is higher than that of mature corn. These qualities make it an ideal feed ingredient, especially beneficial for the feed - processing industry where high - quality raw materials are crucial.

High - yield and flexible sowing: The yield of highland barley maize is high, with a per - mu output as high as 4000 - 6000 kg, and it has a long sowing period, making it easy to be included in the rotation plan. From April to July, it can be sowed in batches, so the utilization period is also long. This flexibility in sowing and high - yield characteristic can also contribute to the stability of raw - material supply in industries like chemical raw material storage. For example, some bio - based chemical raw materials may be derived from agricultural products, and the stable supply of high - yield barley corn can ensure a continuous production process.

Enhanced land utilization: The harvest time of barley maize can be advanced by 10 - 20 days, which can increase the land utilization rate, increase the multiple - cropping index, and arrange the sowing time more flexibly. The labor - force arrangement is not subject to season restrictions. This efficient land - use pattern can have a positive impact on large - scale agricultural operations, similar to how a well - organized Steel Plate warehouse optimizes space utilization.

Ideal silage material: The corn harvested during the milk - ripening period and the wax - ripening period has appropriate water content and contains many sugars. It is an excellent silage material and can be used to produce high - quality silage with a fragrant odor, good palatability, and low production cost. It is worth promoting. This high - quality silage can be stored in silos similar to those used in Cement storage or Fly ash storage facilities, ensuring the feed is well - preserved for livestock consumption throughout the year.
