MAKING CORN SILAGE- :
Fill the Silo So as to Avoid
Silage Fermentation..
Much Depends Upon the Stage of
Growth -The First Two Weeks Ia
the Silo Largely Decides the Mat-
ter of Fermentation --The Use of
Lactic Acid Recommended.
(Contributed by Cntn,rio Department or
Agriculture, Toronto.)
THE quality and preservation
of silage is largely depen-
dent upon the character of
the fermentation which
takes place mostly during the first ,
.' ten days or two weeks after the corn
is Silted into the silo. In order to
control the character of the fermen- -
tation so as to get the best results -
several factors have to be taken into .
consideration,
1st. The silo should be well con-
structed and have no air leaks. Wher- •
ever air penetrates it will cause rot
in the silage.
2nd. The corn should be well de-
veloped with the cobs at least in the
dough stage. If the corn is immature
the resultant silage is liable to be -
too high in moisture, poor in consist-
ency and sour. Its feeding value will
be much h es than that of mature
corn,
3rd. In filling the silo the corn
should be well scattered around and
evenly packed. If steps are not tak-
en to ensure this the heavier parts•
of the corn, such as the cobs and
stn ks, will be liable to settle in one
place and the lighter leaves be blown
around"to the outer edges, thus caus-
ing the development of a hard cora
where the heavier pieces settle, and
a soft, spongy, air -infiltrated area
where the lighter pieces fall. Such
a condition will ruin the fermentation.
and induce rot.
The fermentation commences prac-
tically as soon as the silage is in the
silo, and will be good or bad accord-
ing to the prevailing conditions as
described above.
The fermentation is induced by
plant enzymes, which are within the
plant tissues, and various species ofe•
bacteria and yeasts which are pres-
ent on the corn when it is filled in..
These bacteria, yeasts and plant
enzymes act on some of the starch
and sugar that is present in the corn •;
changing the starch first to sugar and.
then to acids, alcohol and carbon
di -oxide, and various other product*.
of fermentation of somewhat minor
significance.
The acids, more particularly the -
lactic acid thus produced, constitute.
the preservative substance ensuring -
good silage. It is desirable to get
the maximum amount of lactic acid
produced quickly with the minimunre
amount of alcohol and carbon di-
oxide as these two latter pass off at -
gas and, thus mean loss of the sugar
content as they, as well as the lactic
acid, are made from the sugar.
Lactic acid bacteria are respons-
ible for the production of the lactic;
acid and yeasts are mostly respons-
ible for the production of the alcohol,
and much of the carbon di -oxide,
Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts az-
some undesirable kinds of bacteria
and molds are usually present in
considerable numbers on the corn at
the time it is filled into the silo.
The problem is to induce the lactic
acid bacteria to get ahead of the
other kinds of bacteria and yeasts
that are present, as when sufficient:
lactic acid is produced it prevents the
other kinds of bacteria and yeasts
from developing, otherwise they
would cause loss through undesirable
type of fermentation.
The lactic acid bacteria which
cause the desirable fermentation la
silage are the same as those which
cause the souring of milk. Conse-
quently, if freshly well -soured milk„
which will have millions of the lactic
•acid bacteria present, is scattered
evenly over the cut corn from time to
time in the silo as it is being filled,
this will ensure the presence of an,
abundance of lactic acid bacteria
ready to act right at once so that ,the
requisite lactic acid will be rapidly
produced.
During the fermentation the silage
gradually settles and the air that was
present in the mass gradually gets
used up in the fermentation pro-
cesses. If more air penetrates into
the mass through defective silo walls
it will enable various molds to grow
and these use up the lactic acid and
develop, thus causing the silage to
rot. -Prof. D. H. Jones, O. A. C.,
