Problems solved by technology

The main producing areas of alfalfa in my country are Gansu and Ningxia. With the development of dairy farming in my country, alfalfa has begun to be planted in most areas of my country. However, in southern China, alfalfa is harvested just in the rainy season, and alfalfa cannot be dried after harvesting. In order to prevent the loss caused by stacking and rotting, it is necessary to introduce pasture dryers for drying treatment, which not only consumes energy but also manpower, and the cost is often calculated to be lower than that of imported alfalfa hay
For southern China, the best way to store alfalfa is to make silage, but due to the high water content (70-80%) of fresh alfalfa, low soluble sugar content, and slow natural fermentation process, it is not easy to make silage alone
In the market, half-dry silage is usually made by sun-drying or drying alfalfa until half-dry, or adding special silage additives to promote the process of alfalfa silage and improve the quality of silage. There is no rain, and the moisture content in the air is relatively high. There is no chance to dry the alfalfa in the sun, and the effect of additives is unstable. Therefore, how to produce high-quality silage from the alfalfa harvested in the southern rainy season is still a problem
[0003] Artemisia annua is the above-ground part of the annual or biennial herbaceous plant Artemisia annua or Artemisia annua, which is a common wild plant all over the country. It grows rapidly and has a high yield. It can be harvested almost all year round in the south. Artemisia annua is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine. Biologically active substances such as monoterpenes, triterpenes, sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, coumarins, and phenols contained in Artemisia annua have bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects, and Artemisia plants contain a lot of oil High, it has a good nutritional effect on ruminants, but due to its special medicinal taste, cattle, sheep, horses, pigs and poultry are mostly not liked to eat, so only a small amount is added to livestock and poultry feed as a Chinese herbal medicine additive

Embodiment 1

[0021] 1) cutting the fresh alfalfa harvested to 2-3cm in budding and early flowering stage;

[0022] 2) Cut the harvested fresh Artemisia annua at the pre-flowering and leafy stage to 2-3cm;

[0023] 3) Mix the alfalfa and Artemisia annua obtained through steps 1) and 2), the alfalfa accounts for 90% by weight percentage, and the Artemisia annua accounts for 10%, then sprinkle 1% chitin according to the weight percentage of silage raw materials, and mix well ;

[0024] 4) Compacting and sealing the mixed silage raw materials for silage fermentation.

[0025] Two months later, the cellar was opened for sampling. The color of the silage was bright green, with a sour and fragrant smell, no artemisia odor, soft and not sticky, and a little water dripped out when gripped tightly. The measured pH value was 4.89, and the ammoniacal nitrogen / total nitrogen ratio was 6.1 , the dry matter content of the dried sample was 35.02%, the crude protein content was 21.50%, and the cows were ...

Embodiment 2

[0027] 1) cutting the fresh alfalfa harvested to 2-3cm in budding and early flowering stage;

[0028] 2) Cut the harvested fresh Artemisia annua at the pre-flowering and leafy stage to 2-3cm;

[0029] 3) Mix the alfalfa and Artemisia annua obtained through steps 1) and 2), alfalfa accounts for 60% by weight, and Artemisia annua accounts for 40%, then sprinkle 0.5% chitin by weight percentage of silage raw materials, and mix well ;

[0030] 4) Compacting and sealing the mixed silage raw materials for silage fermentation.

[0031] Two months later, the cellar was opened for sampling. The color of the silage was dark green, the smell was sour, with a light smell of Artemisia annua, and it was soft and not sticky. The measured pH value was 3.86, and the ammonia nitrogen / total nitrogen was 4.5. The dry matter content was 29.52%, the crude protein content was 16.80%, and the cows were willing to eat when fed with silage.

Embodiment 3

[0033] 1) the harvested fresh alfalfa in budding and early flowering stage is cut to 2-3cm;

[0034] 2) Cut the harvested fresh Artemisia annua at the pre-flowering and leafy stage to 2-3cm;

[0035] 3) Mix the alfalfa and Artemisia annua obtained through steps 1) and 2), the alfalfa accounts for 80% by weight percentage, and the Artemisia annua accounts for 20%, then sprinkle 0.8% chitin by weight percentage of silage raw materials, and mix well ;

[0036] 4) Compacting and sealing the mixed silage raw materials for silage fermentation.

[0037] Two months later, the cellar was opened for sampling, and the silage was bright green in color, sour and fragrant, without the smell of artemisia annua, soft and non-sticky. The measured pH value was 4.28, ammonia nitrogen / total nitrogen was 4.9, and the dry matter content of the dried sample was 36.42%, the crude protein content is 19.20%, and the cows are happy to eat when fed with silage.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for improving the quality of high-moisture alfalfa silage. The method comprises the steps that harvested fresh alfalfa and sweet wormwood herb are air-dried and chopped to be 2 cm to 3 cm, 40%-90% by weight of the chopped alfalfa and 10%-40% by weight of chopped sweet wormwood herb are mixed, and then chitin accounting for 0.5%-1% of the weight of the silage raw material is scattered; the mixed alfalfa and sweet wormwood herb are compacted and sealed for silage fermentation. Due to the fact that sweet wormwood herb contains natural active antimicrobial ingredients, it is guaranteed that at the early stage of alfalfa silage fermentation, the quality of the silage raw material is not destroyed by harmful microbes and lost, and the buffer capacity of the mixture can be effectively reduced to enable the mixed silage to be prepared successfully; by means of one of chitin decomposition products, namely, chitosan, the soluble sugar content of the mixed silage is increased, the pH value of the silage is decreased, and the silage process is promoted; meanwhile, decomposition of the chitin is promoted, and the quality of the mixed silage is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of silage processing, in particular to a method for improving the quality of high-moisture alfalfa silage. Background technique [0002] Alfalfa is the king of grass, but because of the low quality of alfalfa silage, it is often used to dry into alfalfa hay for storage and sales. The main producing areas of alfalfa in my country are Gansu and Ningxia. With the development of dairy farming in my country, alfalfa has begun to be planted in most areas of my country. However, in southern China, alfalfa is harvested just in the rainy season, and alfalfa cannot be dried after harvesting. In order to prevent the loss caused by stacking and rotting, it is necessary to introduce forage dryers for drying treatment, which not only consumes energy but also manpower, and the cost is often calculated to be lower than that of imported alfalfa hay. For southern China, the best way to store alfalfa is to make silage. However...
