Abstract
Silage corn, a high-quality feed, is produced through the process of cutting and fermenting corn plants during the growing season. This feed option plays a crucial role in animal husbandry, particularly during periods of seasonal feed shortages. The production of silage corn involves several key steps: harvesting, cutting, filling, fermentation, and storage, all of which effectively preserve the nutritional value of corn. Silage corn offers a wealth of benefits for livestock, enhancing their digestive performance, ensuring a balanced diet, and ultimately promoting both their health and production. Moreover, in the context of agroecosystems, silage corn contributes to organic matter, supports circular agricultural systems, safeguards soil health, and encourages ecological diversity. Looking ahead, silage corn is expected to play a pivotal role in increasing food production efficiency, advancing the sustainable development of farmland, minimizing resource wastage, reducing carbon footprints, bolstering rural economies, addressing climate change, and fostering innovation in agricultural technology.
