good job making the best of what you got. unfortunately to many people think of ways it will fail instead of working. Bottom line goats are happy and fed they look in good shape and well taken care of.
That's haylage. Also you need to wilt leafy material before ensilage. You desperately need an inoculant, which is why you had mould everywhere and no fermentation present in the end product. You're lucky you haven't poisoned your entire herd with this. This isn't silage, or rather, haylage, this is just year old rotten grass. You need to ensure the PH level is dropped sharply after ensilage. Given you're doing this on a small scale you could use vac bags (and leave ph strips and a bottle inside the bag you can operate from without--given they're transparent--to test the PH drop the first few times you make silage to learn the ropes). Your haylage is just rotten grass, covered in aerobic bacteria. Not good for anything except houseplant fertiliser.
You don't need to wilt it. That looked way too dry to me from the start to make the process work without serious compaction to get the air out. But it worked. The goats gobbled it up. And they are the judges. If it was spoiled she would have reeked when she dug around in it with her hands. And you definitely don't need an inoculant. The bacteria are present from the start, just waiting for the right conditions.
that is crazy.. Im looking to move to a rural property and get some chickens every spring ... Didn't know thats how it was done these days a question though was it scalded in hot water first?
I bought this product on Amazon. It's super efficient, you don't even kill chickens before you throw them in. The machine does it all at once. God bless technology
lmao I'm literally laughing so hard that was to funny I'm just thinking a crabby bastard who's been at it all day flinging them in alive lmao cause he's like fuck this
everybody listen up, You are all idiots ,I don't care if I offended you because it's true,did you not see the chicken bieng stabbed down the throat and out into a crucible for heating ,the. Hen was dead before even touching the machine ,before you comment,watch the entire video ,ok Ok .
You do notice that the chicken was killed quickly before bieng tossed into the machine What do you expect from meat producers ,freakin live chicken for dinner?
+Fur To kill chickens they usually slot it's throat. Chickens are seen as dumb shit animals by the government so there's no need to stun them before killing them.
one of my relatives had one of their goats disbudded because so that when it gets older, it doesn't do damage to the other male goat because they can take out an eye of on of the others if they fight and it's really dangerous. the other one is yet to be disbudded. sure it may seem cruel and heartbreaking, (and i can't argue with y'all opinions) but if you do it for the right reason, then it's not cruel at all. sure it hurts the baby goat when it happens, but the pain soon goes away. as long as the owner of the goat cares for it and keeps it (not letting it in the wild) then i don't see any harm in doing it.
The reason they can do this is because they are humans. Humans are so intelligent that animals can't find a way to not be captured and slaughtered. These chickens deserve to be terrified.
