Prwserve wet distillers: Ensiling byproduct with corn silage extends shelf life

摘要

Harvesttime mixing of wet distillers grains and corn silage may be the best way for some dairy producers to handle the ethanol byproduct, says Dave Schingoethe, a South Dakota State University dairy scientist. Wet distillers grains stay fresh for onlyfive to seven days, Schingoethe points out. For producers who can't feed them that fast, blending them with corn silage prevents spoilage, plus it simplifies daily ration mixing.
