Definitions

• the invention relates to the acidification of feedstuffs and the transport thereof, with press or seepage being obtained due to their moisture content.
• leachate during acidification essentially depends on the water content of the starting material, the vertical pressure and the type of plant.
• Seeping juice is generally harmless to humans and animals in well-fermented silages, but due to the high content of organically degradable substance, the specific smell and taste it belongs to the highly polluting waste water.
• Water-binding substances that are used to reduce the amount of seepage juice are dry fodder such as straw meal, dry green, dry pulp or cereal flour * It is also known to use only bentonite from the group of hydrocolloids (EVERSON et al., 1971, in Mc. DONALD "The Biochemistry of Silage", Chinchester, John Whiley and Sons, 1991, p. 126).
• hydrocolloids indicates “that it is here are colloids that have an affinity for water; it should replace the more descriptive term - rubber.
• Hydrocolloids must meet the following requirements:
• the macromolecules must be made up of macromolecules that have a certain minimum length.
• the macromolecules must have a largely linear shape and have intermolecular interaction forces which enable secondary and main valence conditions between the individual macromolecules and thus enable the formation of a network-like structure.
• All hydrocolloids increase the viscosity of the water either by binding water molecules (.hydration) or else by absorbing and enveloping the water in their intertwined macromolecules, while at the same time largely restricting the mobility of the water ".
• the invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of developing a method which leads to a strong reduction in the amount of seepage juice produced during acidification, whereby it is easy to use, does not have a negative effect on the nutritional value of the preserve and should be ecologically harmless.
• the advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that the hydrocolloids used can be used in a small amount compared to the previous proposals due to their high water-binding capacity. This makes it easy to start the application during preparation, e.g. B. when chopping green waste in the field. A high degree of mixing is achieved without an additional operation.
• the invention also has the advantage that, regardless of the weather, the acidification of feedstuffs can be carried out with a strong reduction in the amount of environmentally harmful seepage and with the least losses.
• Another advantage is that the invention is particularly useful in the ensiling of grasses, maize, legumes. Root crops, carrots, kale, fruit pomace, vegetables * - marc, grain, sugar beet diffusion chips, pulps and similar feed materials can be used.
• hydrocolloids are used in their usual form as flour or granular or prilled or pelletized.
• hydrocolloids are protected in such a way that their effect only begins during the fermentation process of acidification.
• Potatoes without hydrocollpid additive as control (variant A) or with a hydrocolloid additive (variant B) ensiled.
• Guar gum was used as the hydrocolloid.
• the guar gum was used in a well-distributed manner in the amount of 1.5 g per 1 kg of potato schnitzel.
• the silage was acidified in 8 fermentation vessels with a volume of 2 liters each.
• Example 2 Fresh chopped marrow cabbage without a hydrocolloid additive as a control (variant A) or with a hydrocolloid additive (variant B) was ensiled.
• the dry matter content of the market stem cabbage was 14.4%. Guar gum served as the hydrocolloid. The guar gum was used well distributed in the amount of 1.5 g per 1 kg of marrow cabbage. For each variant, the silage was acidified in 6 vessels with a volume of 2 liters each.
