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.
Harvested Forages deals with the subject of food for domestic animal feeding. Such food is called "forage" and includes things like alfalfa and other plants usually referred to as "hay." Topics include the ways that this forage is produced, how it is harvested, and ways that it should be stored. Other issues that are dealt with include various criteria and measurement procedures for assessing forage nutritive quality, potential health hazards associated with particular plants and plant toxins, and various issues of plant growth, pest control, and soil fertility--among other topics. This book is essential for any institution with a strong program in range sciences, animal sciences, animal feeding and nutrition, and related programs. Synthesizes and summarizes a vast and widely dispersed literature in animal science Serves as a reference for managers of harvested forages as well as all those involved with the forage production industry
Excerpt from Methods of Harvesting Grass Silage in Northeastern Pennsylvania: A Preliminary Report The final answer for any farmer as to whether to produce grass silage involves much more than a superficial analysis of the costs of harvesting the grass and the feeding value of the silage. Under some farming conditions, grass silage may be an important link in the entire farming system a strong link that may tie together all the farming operations into a better soil-conserving and more profitable business. Especially those farmers who have crop land that is likely to erode when planted to corn for silage may find that using grass for silage increases the land's productivity, increases the total production of milk, and enlarges the farm's business and income. Until this kind of analysis is available the value of data like those in this preliminary report are very limited, except to those who have already decided to make grass silage.
