WHY BUY OUR FERMENTED CORN SILAGE?
Our fermented corn silage is a highly palatable and nutritious forage rich in digestible energy, crude protein, fiber, natural vitamins, and minerals. We ensure that our silage is fermented for at least 21 days before selling it and feeding it to our ruminants for a higher nutritional value.
A 21-day fermentation period allows for the stabilization of the silage. The acidity produced during fermentation helps preserve the forage by preventing the growth of undesirable microbes that can lead to spoilage. This stabilization is crucial for ensuring the silage remains nutritious and safe for consumption. We ensure that the pH level of corn silage is between 3.5 and 4.5 to avoid cases of acidosis or goat bloat.
Fermentation helps to preserve the nutritional content of the corn silage. It reduces the activity of enzymes that can break down proteins and other nutrients, preserving the feed’s quality over time.
Proper fermentation can enhance the digestibility of the silage. The breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars and organic acids can make the feed more easily digestible for the animals, leading to better utilization of nutrients.
Adequate fermentation helps minimize dry matter losses in the silage. This is important for maximizing the amount of available feed and ensuring that the stored forage remains a cost-effective and efficient source of nutrition for livestock.
