Research Progress on Whole Plant Maize Mixed Silage in West Liaohe Plain
The whole plant maize silage is the most widely used coarse feed in ruminant animal husbandry,and it is the planting crop promoted by the"grain change feed"project.However,it is difficult to bring the production performance of ruminants to the best level by the whole plant maize silage.The whole plant maize mixed silage can complement each other's advantages and make up the short board,and can broaden the silage resources and improve the feed utilization efficiency.In this paper,the research status of maize silage,the crop types of the whole plant maize mixed with legume forage,grasses,forage grasses and agricultural by-products and their effects on fermentation quality and nutrition indexes were reviewed.The feeding advantages of the whole plant maize mixed silage and the key points of production were reviewed.The results provided a reference for the whole plant maize mixed storage in West Liaohe Plain.
