Ammonia Treated Silage Boosts Protein and Value
The addition of anhydrous ammonia to corn or sorghum silage raises crude protein by about 4 to 5 percent per ton and improves silage quality. Ammonia is the cheapest non protein nitrogen source, with higher feed value and better herd performance than urea or some supplements. Apply 7 10 pounds per ton via suitable mixing systems and test crude protein on fresh samples, balancing rations accordingly. The EPA bans certain fumigants, prompting reliance on sound management practices to store grain safely and control pests.
