Ludhiana: The directorate of extension education, Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana organised a panel discussion to clarify the misconceptions about the use of silage and to educate dairy farmers against the adverse effects of poor-quality silage. Parkash Singh Brar, director of extension education said that the dairy industry in Punjab has made tremendous progress owing to improved management practices and innovations. One of the most widely adopted technologies in dairy farming is the use of silage to improve the nutrition of dairy animals, said Brar. Regular supply of fodder is the foundation of milk production, and the dairy industry relies on silage for ensuring availability of green fodder throughout the year but use of poor silage can severely affect the health and production of dairy animals, he added. Brar added that the panel discussion was arranged to educate the field functionaries of line departments and dairy farmers about production of good quality silage. R S Grewal, director of livestock farms explained the importance of the methods for silage making including the design of bunkers, chaffing of fodder, proper pressing, covering and scraping.
