1. Time to open the container
Gramineous raw materials with seeds (such as whole corn) can be opened in containers after 30 days of silage and other raw materials after 40 days.
2. The use of silage
Rectangular cellar opens from one end of the upwind, and materials are taken in section by section on a cross section, at least 6~7cm thick every day. Do not dig holes in the cross section, so as not to expand the contact surface between the forage and the air, so that the forage is exposed to the air for a long time, which will cause secondary fermentation when the temperature is high. After each take-off, the end cover of the take-off shall be tightly sealed with plastic cloth to make it airtight. Once the silage cellar is opened, it should be used continuously. In case of special circumstances, it is necessary to temporarily stop the storage, which should be sealed as if the cellar was sealed during silage production to prevent air and rainwater from entering.
In addition, when taking silage, pay attention to safety. In particular, the silage cellar of medium and large farms is relatively large, so be careful not to collapse or fall off tires and stone bags when taking materials. It is better not to take them alone. Moreover, silage sampling and rotten silage removal should be carried out in conjunction with mechanical equipment. Don't dig out the silage layer.
3. Take quantity
The material should be taken every day, not for several days a day. The daily feeding amount should be determined according to the feeding amount, and those taken out on the same day should be fed on the same day.

4. Silage identification
Silage quality can be judged from color, smell, texture, taste and so on.
Color: high quality: green or yellow-green; medium quality: yellowish brown or dark green; poor quality: brown or black-green (can not be fed).
Odor: high-quality silage material has a slight sour taste and fruit aroma, sour taste is not pungent, the aroma is very light, it is medium; if there is a disgusting, pungent rancid smell or musty smell, it means that the silage has failed and cannot be fed.
Texture: The high-quality silage is very solid in the cellar, but it is loose and moist in the hands, without sticky feeling, and the stems and leaves remain intact. If the hand feels sticky, the stem and leaf will stick into a piece of sludge in severe cases, and some of the whole piece will be covered with white hairs, indicating that the silage has failed. Such silage should be discarded and cannot be fed to cattle and sheep.
Taste: Good silage is sweet and sour.
