Studies on various factors affecting silage fermentation

Silage Fermentation & Additives

The primary goal of making silage is to maximize the preservation of original nutrients in the forage crop for feeding at a later date. Unfortunately, fermentation in the silo is a very uncontrolled process usually leading to less than optimal preservation of nutrients. In order to assist in the fermentation process, various silage additives have been used to improve the nutrient and energy rec...

Environmental Factors Affecting Corn Quality for Silage Production

Corn silage is a major ingredient of diets for dairy cattle. Environmental factors can affect the yield and composition of corn silage. Drought and heat are two common environmental factors that affect silage yield and quality. Corn silages with low concentrations of dry matter, high concentrations of protein, high concentrations of fiber, and low concentrations of starch indicate that the crop...

Factors Affecting Corn Silage Quality in Hot and Humid Climates

Dairy farmers in many parts of the world rely on corn silage as a source of digestible fiber and readily fermentable energy for their cattle. In Florida, Georgia and many tropical countries, such farmers face several climatic challenges that can complicate corn silage production including temperatures that reduce the rate of photosynthesis (Crafts-Brandner and Salvucci, 2002) and reduction in p...

Survey of Literature on Various Factors Affecting Inventory Management

Materials, manufacturing and marketing departments are the three major operating subsystems of any organization whether it is a production house or a service center, i.e. neither the goods producing organization nor the service providing organizations works without inventory, they have to maintain some inventory for smooth running of their businesses. In recent years, the study of inventory man...
