Procedures for quality silage production from annual legume ensiling

Abstract

Different possibilities for annual legumes ensiling are presented in the paper. Due to their high yields and chances of their planting as winter, spring or stubble crops, annual legumes have a high potential for the production of cheap and quality green fodder or silage. the better protein to carbohydrate ratio is achieved by mixing them with cereals, which is very important not only for better quality of fermentation during the ensiling process, but also, for balanced ration of ruminants. Annual legumes may be successfully ensiled as the single crop by applying chemical preserving agents or by fermentation stimulated by carbohydrate additives and inoculants.

U radu su izložene različite mogućnosti siliranja jednogodišnjih leguminoza. Zbog visokih prinosa i mogućnosti setve kao ozimih, jarih i postrnih useva, jednogodišnje leguminoze predstavljaju značajan potencijal za proizvodnju jeftine i kvalitetne stočne hrane u zelenom stanju, ili za seno i silažu. Setvom u smeši sa žitaricama postiže se povoljniji odnos proteina i ugljenih hidrata, što je važno ne samo za kvalitetniju fermentaciju pri siliranju, već i radi postizanja bolje izbalansiranosti obroka za preživare. U čistom vidu jednogodišnje leguminoze se mogu uspešno silirati uz primenu hemijskih konzervanasa, ili stimulacijom fermentacije ugljenohidratnim dodacima i inokulantima.
