Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of organic acid technology, specifically to a device for determining organic acids in silage. Background Technology
[0002] Silage, used as feed for ruminants such as cattle and other herbivores, is made by fermenting pasture, grasses, legumes, and waste from food processing. The fermentation process during silage production is mainly lactic acid fermentation. However, due to fermentation conditions or subsequent storage conditions, fermentation other than lactic acid fermentation may occur, and spoilage may also occur. When the fermentation quality deteriorates, that is, fermentation other than lactic acid fermentation or spoilage, the amount of carboxylic acids with high carbon atoms such as butyric acid and valeric acid or volatile basic nitrogen such as ammonia in the silage increases, it becomes silage that ruminants do not like.
[0003] Currently, when testing silage, it is necessary to crush it and add reagents for testing. Existing testing devices require manual crushing and re-addition of the silage to the grinding tube for mixing, which is quite cumbersome and cannot be adjusted according to the height of the grinding tube.
