Usage of salt in agriculture

and livestock
Many farmers use different methods where salt is used with very interesting
advantages for their activity. The most well-known technique is known as
"Silage". Basically, it is a kind of fermentation that occurs in high-moisture
fodder and in certain specific crops (i.e. in the wheat, grasses, corn farming)...
What is the result? It can be stored in a more effective way.

In what does silage consists

of?
When the specialist performs this type of technique, a "spontaneous lactic
fermentation" takes place, but under conditions in which oxygen is not required (known as anaerobic fermentation). When this happens, acids are released, the medium pH changes thereby causing a reduction of the same and
this, internally, also produces a number of significant changes.
And what is exactly the impact of this use of salt in agriculture / livestock? Its
main advantage is to act as a preservative agent. It levels off the acids and
makes possible that the medium becomes more acid and faster. It is an appropriate way to preserve the characteristics of the product; for example, those
related to the appearance, smell, nutritional properties, and other aspects to
be considered.
If we compare its characteristics with classic fodder, we realize that there is
a clear difference in quality. But not only that, but it can also reduce costs (for
both the farmer/rancher, as for the end customer), as there is a lower possibility for product deterioration (no losses means also no economic losses) and
it is also a very economical technique, so there are only advantages.

Nowadays it is considered an almost indispensable technique for these two
sectors. This is so that there are many companies responsible for selling special salts to apply them in this way; unlike what you might believe, we are not
talking about the regular salt that we can find at the supermarket. Due to its
special characteristics to be able to perform its conservation task, the company responsible for its marketing will have to analyze even the smallest detail
regarding the production process to remove unsuitable material; for example,
metals, any trace type or other contaminant elements. In this way, you can
determine that the salt itself will only preserve and will not intoxicate the product that you are trying to protect.
Salt ensures that the product is in perfect condition, but also it will also be
special, exclusive and that we will not have overpaid for it.
A very special technique that helps us know the farmer and the ranchers
work of a little better.
