Corn Silage Production and Management - Punjab Silage Private Limited

The crop provides livestock producers with a high-yielding, relatively consistent source of forage and the animals with a highly digestible and palatable feed. Corn silage produces more energy per acre than any other crop grown.


Corn silage serves as a high-energy forage for dairy cows. This is most important for high-producing herds and on farms experiencing problems with making or buying high quality hay crop forage. Corn silage, with its relatively high energy content, is also well adapted for use in low-cost rations for fattening cattle. Corn silage requires less labor per ton to produce than many other forage crops. It can extend the harvest period for the entire corn acreage and provide an opportunity for salvage of stressed or damaged cornfields. Also, corn silage can efficiently recycle plant nutrients, especially large amounts of N and K.




When fodder contains 65% to 75% moisture and enough sugar, anaerobic lactic acid bacteria becomes active, to produce a good clean- smelling silage of high quality (pH 4).

If forage is too rich in proteinaceous substances, butyric acid fermentation will dominate.

Store the plant material at a moisture content of 65%-75% excluding air to minimize loss of nutrients due to respiration, to initiate growth of lactic acid bacteria rapidly, to prevent mold formation, to prevent development of aerobic organisms.

If forage is too rich in proteinaceous substances, butyric acid fermentation will dominate. Butyric acid has a sharp, disagreeable smell and such silage is not relished by animals.
