Summary of Estudo da Embrapa Trigo sobre silagem de cereais de inverno

00:00:00 - 00:05:00

In the YouTube video "Estudo da Embrapa Trigo sobre silagem de cereais de inverno," Renato Fontanelli, a researcher from Embrapa Trigo, discusses the advantages of using winter cereals, such as wheat, oats, triticale, and barley, for silage in cattle feed. According to Fontanelli, there is no evidence of harm to animals' digestive or bucal systems from the use of cereals with bristles. The study also reveals that winter cereal silage has a higher concentration of protein and energy compared to corn in certain cases. The adoption of winter cereal silage is encouraged as a complement to traditional summer silage, and animals have acceptably embraced this new feed source. The availability of winter cereal cultivation programs in countries like Brazil, Canada, the United States, Australia, and Europe is emphasized, with some producers using winter cereal silage instead of corn silage in specific circumstances. The discussion also highlights the importance of utilizing idle land during the winter season by means of double cropping and maintaining milk productivity for livestock and poultry producers.

The Embrapa Trigo study explored the use of bristles in the silage of cereals and found that there is no evidence of harm to the digestive or bucal system of animals, dispelling the myth that bristles can cause injuries. The objective of the study is to incentivize the adoption of winter cereal silage, such as varieties of wheat, oats, triticale, and barley, to utilize the available land during the winter months. The study also discovered that winter cereal silage has a higher concentration of protein and energy compared to corn in some cases. The use of winter cereal silage as a complement to the traditional summer silage (corn) is encouraged, and the animals have accepted this new feed. The availability of winter cereal cultivation programs in countries such as Brazil, Canada, the United States, Australia, and Europe is highlighted, and it is mentioned that in some situations, winter cereal silage is used instead of corn silage. The most significant aspect for the Brazilian or similar cultivation conditions is to make use of idle land during the winter season, applying the concept of double cropping.

According to Fontanelli, winter crops offer the potential to maintain and even increase milk productivity, as the nutritional value of these crops is significantly higher compared to traditional summer crops like corn and sorghum. This higher value is beneficial for both livestock and poultry producers, making winter crop silage a crucial component in their annual feed plans. The usage of winter crop silage in Brazil has been increasing in recent years due to the unusual climatic conditions. In the Southern region of Brazil, silaging winter crops has become a traditional practice, with a large number of producers adopting this technology. Renato also mentions that silaging winter crops can lead to a more efficient use of land compared to summer crops. The conversation between the interviewer and Renato highlights the importance of managing forage resources and using winter crop silage as a solution for periods of scarcity.
