WHY BUY OUR FERMENTED NAPIER SILAGE?
Our fermented Napier silage is a popular and nutritious feed option for ruminants. Derived from the tropical grass variety Pennisetum purpureum, Napier grass silage is an excellent source of energy, fiber, and essential nutrients for cattle, sheep, and goats.
One of the key advantages of Alpha Agventure Farms’ Napier silage is its ability to maintain an ideal pH level during the fermentation process. The optimal pH level for silage is around 3.5 to 4.5. This acidic environment helps preserve the silage and inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, ensuring its safety and palatability for ruminants. However, if the pH level rises above this range, complications may arise. Elevated pH levels can lead to reduced nutrient quality, spoilage, and an increased risk of mycotoxin formation, negatively impacting the health of the animals consuming the silage.
The period of fermentation is important in achieving the desired pH level and preserving the nutritional value of Napier silage. Typically, a fermentation period of three to four weeks is recommended to ensure proper acidification and stabilization. This process not only enhances the digestibility of the silage but also contributes to the production of beneficial lactic acid, promoting a healthy microbial balance in the rumen of ruminants.
Alpha Agventure Farms is not just a supplier of fermented Napier silage. We also have our own cattle, goats, and sheep. Since our ruminants also eat what we sell, you have the peace of mind in knowing that you get the highest quality of Napier silage from us.
