Summary
This ProRefine Practice Abstract gives practical recommendations for ensiling legume forage pulp in order to support the implementation of biorefined forage legumes as high-quality protein sources in the European organic sector and give value to the fibrous co-products. This will contribute to strengthening the agricultural sector in Europe, while also improving the cooperative utilisation of local resources.

| Teaser: | Make silage from legume forage pulp - learn it here! |
| What problem does the tool address?: | Pulp is a co-stream in the extraction of protein from forages in a screw press. Pulp may be a valuable feed for ruminants, but low sugar content is a challenge for the ensiling process. However, it is still a valuable feed that can be preserved as silage and utilised for ruminant feeding. The juice extraction also lowers the sugar content making the pulp less suitable for ensiling. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | The addition of sugars as molasses at the dose of 50 kg/ton of fresh pulp stimulates lactic acid fermentation, resulting in successful preservation and good stability at feedings when best-practice ensiling rules are respected. Alternatively, add dry feeds like sugar beet pulp or a cereal meal at 150 kg/ton of fresh pulp. |
