Can I use paddy straw from my farm as a silage for feeding my cattle?

Ephraim

Paddy straw can be used as a feed for cattle, but it is not suitable for making silage. Silage is typically made from high-moisture forage crops, such as corn or grass, that are chopped and stored in an anaerobic environment to promote fermentation. Paddy straw is a dry, low-moisture feed that is best used as a roughage for ruminant animals like cattle. However, if you want to store the paddy straw for later use, you can consider baling it or stacking it in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent mold and spoilage.
