An Update on Covering Bunker Silos
Forage crops are the staple ingredients of dietary rations fed to ruminant animals. They provide the animal with a large source of dietary fiber, critical for normal functioning of the rumen and its associated microenvironment (Driehuis and Oude Elferink, 2000). The preservation of forage crops into a fermented feedstuff known as silage has been an important practice in agriculture, especially ...
متن کاملEffect of Storage System and Dry Matter Content on the Composition of Alfalfa Silage1
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of dry matter (DM) content and three different storage systems on the quality of alfalfa ensiled on commercial farms. Alfalfa silage samples were collected from 21 bunker silos, 20 silos that limited oxygen infiltration, and 19 tower silos on 43 commercial dairy farms. Storage system and DM content were confounded because silages from bu...
متن کاملTemperature and Relative Humidity Data in Bunker-Stored Rice
A storage technique in which grain is piled on large, flat surfaces and covered with an airtight liner is described. A synopsis of the concept and development of this type of grain storage is given as are the design and construction details of systems currently being used in Arkansas. Temperature and relative humidity data collected while monitoring a field-scale unit equipped with an aeration ...
متن کاملComparative yield and feeding value of barley, oat and triticale silages
McCartney, D. H. and Vaage, A. S. 1994. Comparative yield and feeding value of barley, oat and triticale silage. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 74: 91-96. The yield and feeding value of barley (Hordeum vulgare 'Johnson'), oat (Avena sativa 'Calibre') and triticale (Triticosecale 'Carmen') silages were compared in a field study, a heifer growth trial (1 19 d in length, with four pens of eight Charolais cros...
متن کاملFeeding Characteristics of Round-Bale Silages
Despite some production issues associated with preservation of forages as roundbale silage, potential benefits with respect to minimizing DM loss and preserving forage quality compared with traditional hay preservation systems are well documented. Less information is available regarding the feeding value of forages preserved in this manner. This paper attempts to address issues associated with ...
