This morning (16/5), Provincial Farmers Association (Hosted Thread science) Scientific Seminar: "Research and application of biotechnology for processing and storage of agricultural products as food cattle feed in Than Uyen district ".

After nearly 20 months of implementation, the study subjects had successful procedures appropriate storage and processing of fresh straw and leaves after harvest corn as feed for cattle.
Raising cattle is one of the strengths of the province's economic development. Buffaloes, cows not only provide draft power, manure for agriculture but also provides abundant food sources, important for people in the province. But, the last few years, the state of the cattle died of severe and damaging cold, lack of food ... pretty common place. The cold season from 2008 to today, our province an annual average of 5,000 damage on cattle of all kinds. The main reason people have so pasturing practices, lack of food leads to insufficient buffer resistance, sick died, a great influence on the development of the local economy.
Meanwhile, agricultural byproducts such as straw, corn leaves, peanuts soybeans (mainly food of cattle), many but by no measure preserving, processing should have to post-harvest waste. Before this situation, scientific theme "Research and application of biotechnology for processing and storage of agricultural products as feed for cattle in Than Uyen district" has been implemented effectively, step first meet the urgent needs of preservation and storage of feeds for livestock farmers.
With advantages such as low cost, easy to make, good resolution forage for cattle in the months to lack of grass, silage method supplemented with probiotics deployed practical application on 100 children bovine of 20 households in two communes of Muong Than, Fujian Coal (Uyen district). 100 cattle were divided into 3 lots (including one control group and two experimental groups). Silage materials include straw, corn leaves fresh. Products must be recovered immediately after harvest, and no mud, no rot mold, re-exposure. Body, leaves have been cut short from 5 - 7cm, fresh straw, the material prior to annealing.
For the method of silage silo has an important role. So make sure the new silo to facilitate compaction and trunk straw, corn leaves with high efficiency; remove all the air out, promoting fermentation, anaerobic green feed, ensure quality silage and green. 20 participating households was carried out successfully incubated 31.500kg fresh straw and corn leaves after harvest.
Anh Duong Van Lo - Chairman Muong Than Farmers - participating households model said: "After the Farmers' Union officials, provincial Animal Health Department under the direct instruction techniques, my family has brewed into of a silo. After 5 months of complementary feeding silage buffalo My family has been markedly improved. "
Through the transfer of fermentation method, most people have commented, this method easy to do, does not take much effort and cost.
At the workshop evaluation: methodology fresh straw and silage corn harvest leaves is a good solution for storage, just increase the nutritional value of fresh straw and corn leaves, just avoid nutrient loss nursing in the drying process. The use of fresh straw and stems, leaves after corn silage has brought significant effect over the subdivision of bovine pilot.
Cattle used silage using probiotics weight is 300 - 350gam / head / day (up from lots of cattle fodder supplements is on 100gam / cow / day). Silage special methods of agricultural products will help people proactively feed for cattle, especially in winter.
         This is a new topic, with important implications and practical; necessary for the development of animal husbandry in the province.
However, the workshop participants also recommended: The lead agency should be added to clarify some content such as concept "fresh enough" meaning how many days incubation at harvest, by harvest, too the nature of agricultural change very quickly; clearly defined criteria silo such as temperature and humidity; Further evaluation of the maintenance and replication of silage straw; corn stalks after harvest; Harvesting corn straw and leaves on time is the best; Further evaluation of economic efficiency - of social and environmental science theme ...
Mr. Vu Thi Lien - Vice President Farmers Association, Chairman of the scientific topics to acquire and explained in the consultation workshop, the issue of limited topics will be added as well. For the practical implementation is quite good, has closely deployment process as well as additional digester feed intake after incubation for bovine animals. Subdivision of clear evidence, specifically to help farmers realize the effectiveness of complementary foods after silage topic ... To promote efficiency, PPC, Department of Science and Technology of interest, creating conditions for early provincial Farmers' Association implemented subject to practical application. At the same time to help facilitate the Provincial Farmers Association continues to pilot some legumes, Acacia fence, stylo ... contribute to meeting the demand for livestock feed
