Silko is used for silage of corn kernels and whole corn plants
Silko
ĆORIĆ AGRAR D.O.O. - MELENCI
The whole corn plant was ensiled with the application of Silko and a commercial preparation. The quality of the silage was analyzed by the Institute for Animal Husbandry in Belgrade.
| Silko | Commercial preparation |
Raw protein | 3,05 | 2,84 |
Dry material | 39,13 | 37,45 |
Soluble nitrogen | 0,187 | 0,266 |
Ammonia nitrogen | 0,022 | 0,039 |
pH | 3,97 | 3,82 |
ORGANIC ACID CONTENT AND FLLRG RATING | ||||
| Silko | Points | Commercial preparation | Points |
Butyric acid | 0,081 | 50 | 0,094 | 50 |
Acetic acid | 0,437 | 20 | 0,485 | 20 |
Lactic acid | 4,243 | 30 | 4,303 | 30 |
VERY GOOD | 100 | |||
The silage quality was rated as VERY GOOD. Using SILKO decreased the butyric and acetic acid and ammonia nitrogen content, and increased the dry material content.
PIK MORAVICA D.O.O. - STARA MORAVICA
Silko was applied during silaging of corn kernels and entire plants. The silage quality was tested by the Institute for Animal Husbandry, Laboratory for Chemicals and Microbiology, in Belgrade..
