Produção e utilização de silagens de grãos úmidos

Abstract

The high moisture grain silage has emerged as an efficient storage of cereal grains for animal feed at a lower cost and better nutritional value. The improvement in the digestibility of the starch grains with the use of high humidity is caused by reducing interference of the matrix protein in the hydrolysis of the endosperm fraction, since these matrices are not already completely formed and solidified. The use of wet grain silage is an alternative permissible to produce, therefore, provides to the animal a food of high calorific value and better digestibility, which may be stored. Featuring up of raw material quality and workmanship appropriate use is economically feasible to farmer because it allows reducing costs while maintaining production rates.
