![]() ![]() ![]() And after a short fermentation process (that means just waiting), you get a bale of silage. Cut the grass, press it into bales and wrap them up. To produce silage bales, you require a meadow. You need a bale spike for transporting bales. You need a bale wrapper to turn a grass bale into silage by wrapping it. You need a baler to press the lanes of grass into bales. You need a windrower to arrange grass in lanes. You need a tractor with a front loader attachment, for transport and tools. Silage Production Using Grass – Without Bunker Silo Option 3: Harvesting chaff from above-mentioned crops and fermenting it in a bunker silo. ![]() Option 2: Mowing grass and fermenting it in a bunker silo. Option 1: Mowing grass and pressing it into silage bales. Reading further, we explain the production of silage with and without a bunker silo separately. But grass should reach the final growth stage – it just gives you more material you can turn into silage.īasically, there are three ways to produce silage. But, there is one important thing to keep in mind: you need to harvest crops BEFORE they reach their final growth stage! Looking at corn, for example, you harvest it while the cobs are still green.Įven grass can be harvested with a forage harvester. You get chaff by harvesting the above-listed crops with a forage harvester. Tip: Forage harvesters have a relatively small tank, so you should also use either an auger wagon or a trailer. You obtain chaff by not harvesting some of your crops with a harvester as usual, but with a forage harvester.* You can produce silage with grass or chaff. Tip! You quadruple the sales value of grass and corn, just by turning it into silage. ![]() You can sell silage at the biogas plant and at the animal dealer – you will receive much more money for it than selling your regular harvest. You can learn more on how to produce cow feed from silage and the other components in our tutorial on cows. Silage is part of the total mixed ration that you use to feed the cows. It cannot directly be grown on fields, but can be made with grass or chaff. Silage is a valuable feed that is preserved by fermentation. All the basic things like how to produce it, what you need in terms of ingredients and equipment. This time we will learn all that needs to be known about silage.
