To make grain crops such as maize, sorghum, bajra, oats, etc., when crops have a milking stage, cut them into small pieces 2-5 cm.
-
The pieces of chopped green fodder should be spread on the ground for a few hours so that some amount of excess water will blow away.
-
Now put the chopped fodder in the pre-prepared silo pit or silage pits.
-
Fill the cutting pieces in the pit by pressing it with feet or a tractor, so that the air between the feed comes out.
-
After filling the pit, add thick polythene and seal it well.
-
After this, apply a layer of soil about one foot thick from the top of the polythene cover so that air cannot enter.
-
Starts making silage from pieces of green fodder, because in the silo pit there is no air and water, the pressed fodder creates lactic acid, which does not spoil the silage for a long time.
-
Open the pits as per the requirement of fodder for at least 45 days for feeding the animals.
