Advances in Silage Production and Utilization

ISBN: 9535127772
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Ensiling is a technique that is used to store food, mainly vegetable crops, to feed the herd when the forage supply from the pastures is not enough to maintain the productive performance of the ruminant animals. However, silage can also be used as substrate for biogas production and other different purposes. In the past years, we have seen many advances in the knowledge about silage production utilization, and this book is a compilation and discussion of the outstanding scientific research activities concerning actually the most recent advances and technologies that have been studied about silage and future demands. It is directed to a broad public of readers - farmers, academics, students, or anyone just curious or interested in the subject.

The Influence of Variety, Plant Population and Planting Date on Corn Silage Production

Pages : 118
Book Description
The influence of variety, plant population, and planting date on corn silage production was studied at Hyslop Agronomy Farm, Corvallis, Oregon. The corn plants were grown under irrigation with 300 pounds per acre of 16-20-0 (N-P205-K20) and 240 pounds of urea, providing a total nitrogen application of 158 pounds per acre. The yield of total dry matter, shelled grain, silage and the chemical constituents of silage (feeding quality), date of maturity and plant height were studied. The medium season varieties gave more yield of dry matter, shelled grain and silage than the early varieties. Yields of silage and shelled grain were reduced when the varieties were planted in late May compared with the same varieties planted in late April. The yield of all varieties used in the late planting test, including Sudangrass, showed no statistically significant differences. Late planting apparently prolonged date of maturity compared with the same varieties in early planting. The yield of silage increased with increased plant population. Row spacing had a large influence o.n yield of dry matter, particularly at high population rate. The 36-inch rows treatments gave a higher yield than 24-inch rows for every variety studied. The variation in plant spacing within the row (one vs. two plants per hill) had very little effect o.n yield if any. The feeding value, on the basis of analysis for feed constituents, was not influenced by increased population rate. Yield of silage was positively correlated with time to maturity and plant height and inversely with percent grain.

Nutritive Evaluation of Corn Silage
Effect of Cultivar and Date of Harvest on Corn Plant Quality as Measured by Feeding Trials

Pages : 214
Book Description
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of hybrid and advancing maturity on corn plant quality to simulate corn silage, as measured by feeding trials. Four corn cultivars - brown midrib low lignin cultivar (BM 105), waxy (WX 135), a normal (JX113)-a sister line of the BM 105, and a male sterile type, mix elm, were grown at the Arlington Experiment Farms, Wisconsin, at the population of 88,920 plants per hectare. Entire plants were harvested at 75 percent silk, 23 days post-silking and at physiological maturity. The waxy cultivar produced significantly more dry matter per hectare than the other cultivars. Concnetration of acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and crude protein (CP) decreasedsignificantly with advancing maturity in all hybrids. Whole plant forage was dried and fed to goats in conventional 14 by days feeding trials in a complete randomized design. At physiological maturity, the mix elm cultivar was the highest in percent ADF, ADL and lowest in digestibility of DM, ADF, and NDF. O f all the cultivars, the low lignin cultivar was the lowest in concentration of ADF, ADL and ndf and highest in digestibility of DM, ADF and ndf, The normal and waxy cultivars were not significantly different in ADF and ADL concentration and were intermediate in NDF and digestibility. Voluntary intake of pelleted material did not differ significantly between the low lignin, waxy normal cultivars, but was significantly lower for mix elm. (...).
