Very educative and thank you so much. After the first day when the pit is not yet full, do you cover as you wait for the following day or you just leave it and add more maize the following day
Hi, I'm not sure I fully understand this question but on our page Dairy Networks on Facebook we have been having a fodder discussion. Cows need energy, protein, minerals/vitamins, water and fiber. Maize and nappier fall into the energy section which is usually the most dominant as a cow requires lots of energy to fulfill all its basic bodily functions before it can even produce a litre of milk. It doesn't however disregard the need for all other categories.
Names of this local preservatives? Molasses is classified as a sweetener not innoculant. Innoculant are strain(s) of bacteria that are classified as additives. Additives have insignificant addition on silage nutritional profile but has benefits especially on minimising spoilage, fasten fermentation, minimise heating up, stabilise PH faster etc. Molasses has no significant use while ensiling maize especially if harvested at the right stage.

Very educative and thank you so much. After the first day when the pit is not yet full, do you cover as you wait for the following day or you just leave it and add more maize the following day
If compaction is excellent and pit has a roof there is no much need to cover. If pit is exposed with an average compaction then covering is important
Why is this silage under shade not in open area
The level of comradely in compacting the silage is wonderful, joyful and i love it. Also if i have a compactor can that help
Yes any it can.
Nice video at what ratio do u mix morasisi with water
If you’re using napier grass do you need to add molasses?
Yes
Very informative content.
Thankyou
How many litres of Molasses is required to the 100kgs of Nappier Grasses
¼ litre diluted in ¼ water and spray using sprayer. The ½l mix is even enough for 500kgs if sprayer is used rightly
How much acres of maize farm has been able to produce those 300tns of silage?
Good job. What is his unit cost? Is the 300tons in 1 pit and how does he prevent spoilage after opening
He uses 3 Pits
This is why I prefer the mound . Ukishatoa unarudisha udongo and you're good to go
Very informative
Thankyou
Who else liked the compacting dance?😅😅
What are the dimensions of a 10 tonne pit ?
Well compacted silage 1M³ holds 900 -1000kgs.

Can cows feed on maize or Napier silage only .

Is there any use of concentrate in this farm?
Absolutely YES. Those high productions of 45 litres can't be achieved without concentrates
Where can i get mollases from?
Most agrovets stock molasses
Thanks
I wrote an Email to you guys...am yet to receive correspondence from you.
Good work. Can one use innoculums during ensiling? Which innoculum can you recommend and who are the suppliers?
mola plus, ecosyl, bonsilage etc

Hi,in case MOLLASS is not available, which other ingredient I can use?
In short what's the substitute of MOLLASS?
It is possible to ensile without mollases just as long as the Silage is made at the right right, maize at dough stage
