Economy of Silage
Economy of Silage| Silage is a moist feed that has been
preserved by fermentation in the absence of air. The forage, usually green, is
commonly chopped into small sections and stored in a silo. The principal use of
the silo is to preserve succulent roughage for winter feedings as well as to
save forages that otherwise would be largely wasted, damaged, or lost. While it
is impossible to preserve forage crops as silage as cheaply as in the form of
hay, properly prepared silage will preserve a greater proportion of the
nutritive value of the green plant.
The modern practice of ensiling green forages traces
directly to the process of making sour hay in Germany in the 19 th century. The
green grasses, clover, and vetches were stored in pits, salted at the rate of 1
pound per 100 pounds, thoroughly trampled, and covered. The first attempt to
ensile green maize was made in Germany in 1861. The first American silo was
built in Maryland in 1876. The silo became popular and spread to all parts of
the country.
