i Adding ammonia to corn silage has a long list of
I desirable benefits not only as a protein source but
| also improving the silage fermentation.
£ However, with anhydrous ammonia there are
I several aspects that are less desirable.
| • A hazardous product dangerous to handle.
I •It is highly volatile with much atmospheric loss
z *lt must be handled with special pressurized
I equipment.
I • The rate of retention depends on moisture
1 content of corn silage.
2 • There is uncertainty in calibration.
I There is an alternative ammonia product which
| seeks to maintain the desirable and improve on the
I undesirable.
