After the silage harvest season, a large amount of crop residues such as stalks, green manure, and pasture are left behind. If not properly stored, these materials can easily rot and mold, making them unsuitable for livestock feed. How can this issue be addressed? The Jinbao Type II Starter offers an effective solution! Using the Jinbao Type II starter in silage production can significantly enhance the nutritional value of feed, improve its palatability, and extend storage life. It has become the top choice among farmers across various regions.
So, how can you quickly and safely make high-quality silage using the Golden Baby II Feed Starter? The key lies in following the "Four Off" principles!
First, turn off the raw materials. It's crucial to harvest silage materials at the right time. Nutritional content varies depending on the growth stage of forages. Grasses should be harvested at the heading stage, while legumes are best cut during the budding stage. Additionally, select silage materials with sufficient sugar content—ideally between 1% and 5%. This helps promote rapid growth of lactic acid bacteria, creating a favorable environment for fermentation. Legumes tend to have more protein but less sugar, so it’s recommended to dry them in the sun before use. When making silage, mix legume grass with other high-sugar green feeds for better results.
Second, turn off the moisture level. Proper moisture is essential for successful silage. The ideal range is 65% to 75%, which supports efficient fermentation and minimizes dry matter loss. To check moisture: grab a handful of material, squeeze it tightly for a minute, then release. If juice comes out, the moisture is over 75%. If it holds its shape without dripping, it's around 70-75%. If the ball is elastic and slowly releases water, it's 55-65%. If it breaks apart immediately, moisture is below 55%. If the material crumbles, it's less than 50%.
Third, turn off the air. An anaerobic environment is critical for promoting lactic acid bacteria activity, producing lactic acid, and inhibiting harmful microbes. To create this condition, chop or crush the raw materials, compact the layers, and seal the silage immediately after filling. Regularly check the pit for air leaks to maintain the anaerobic state.
Fourth, turn off the operation. The correct dosage is 1 kg of Golden Baby II starter per ton of silage material. Mix the starter with corn flour in a 1:5 ratio (1 kg starter + 5 kg corn flour), then layer it with silage material in 20 cm thick layers. After all the material is added, sprinkle the mixture on top and seal the silage. Adding the fermentation aid isn’t just optional—it plays a vital role. It rapidly consumes oxygen, creates an anaerobic environment, suppresses harmful microorganisms, increases success rate, reduces labor and time waste, and prevents losses due to improper handling.
