We have mentioned a few times now that Silage is available in various delicious flavors for your dairy farm animals. However, did you know that all these have different applications too? Well, as Silage Agro Private Limited, we will discuss the applications of different types of silages today.

Corn Silage

Corn Silage is a well-known and preferred fodder because of many reasons, such as:

        Corn Silage Bales are high in energy.

        It is high in digestibility.

        Corn Silage is easily adapted to mechanization from the standing crop to feed-out time.  

Many dairy farms and some beef farms around the world use corn silages. It is also available as ready-to-eat fodder as NutriMeal Silage or any other name, depending on the manufacturer. 

Advantages of corn silage

        It can be fed to cows, buffaloes, and bulls.

        Keep your ruminants healthy.

        Increases milk yield.

        Suitable for lactating cows. 

Sugarcane Harvest

Generally, it is a significant byproduct of the sugarcane industry, left in the field after the cane harvest. However, the way it (the top has been removed) is harvested results in essential variations in the composition, especially for neutral detergent solubles or nitrogen-free extractives such as Sugarcane Silage.

        The trash from sugarcane harvest is also a nutritious product, which we can convert to Silage by following the correct processes. 

Advantages of Sugarcane Silage

        It is loaded with fiber and low in crude protein.

        It is high in Dry Matter (DM) digestibility and Organic Matter (OM) digestibility.    

Wheat Silage

We have recently observed that Wheat Silage has become a preferred feed for dairy cows for many reasons.

        Wheat can provide a fall-cover crop or fall-cover pasture.

        Your ruminants can feed on it or graze it in the fall with little or no effect on grain or forage output in the upcoming spring.

Advantages of Wheat Silage

We, Silage Agro Private Limited, have collected the advantages of wheat silage for you. Please look at the benefits your cattle get when you feed wheat Silage.

        You can use it as an in-between feed when you run out of last year’s fodder and haven’t harvested this year’s crop.

        If you properly feed your ruminants wheat silage with a balanced ration, it can be helpful to increase or maintain the high protein in the milk yield.      

Other types of Silage

There are other silage types, too, other than the four we mentioned. We can’t completely ignore these. So here’s a list of the various healthy and tasty silage products for your farm animals.

        Grass Silage.

        Alfalfa Silage.

        Sorghum Silage.

        Tropical grass Silage.

        Wood Silage.

        Oat Silage.

        Rye Silage.

        Pea Silage.
