SILAGEM DE GRAMÍNEAS TROPICAIS

The ensilage is a process of forage conservation that aims to preserve forage of high nutritional value with the minimum losses. In this process, basically, soluble carbohydrates are converted in organic acids by the action of microorganisms; which finding ideal environment proliferate and create appropriate conditions to the conservation. Thus, the low cost of grass silage, and the surplus production in the favorable period, justified its use, since appropriate techniques, as well as appropriate addictive are used, with the objective of reducing losses and improving the quality of the silages
