Title: Modern procedures to increase and preserve the nutritional value of the corn silage.
Abstract: In this paper we have given the review of domestic as well as foreign experiences connected to increasing of the protein amount and aerobic stability of corn silage. Today corn silage is the base of intensive and economic cattle breeding, and nowadays the usage of corn silage has increased in diet of sheep and goats as well. However, corn silage is above all the carbohydrate meal with low protein count, it has low aerobic stability and very often losses are great due to secondary fermentation. In order to increase nitrogen maters (raw proteins) urea is being added (0.5C1.0%). With the same purpose corn is being grown as a joint crop along with soybean or horse bean or these annual legumes are being added while filling the silos. Solution for small aerobic stability of corn silage is in using hetero fermentative bacterial inoculants. These bacteria synthesize, besides milk acid, volatile acetic acid which is an excellent fungicide and stops the development of microorganisms.
