I'm interested in what you consider the best meat in The World? This technique is millenarian, used by Egyptians and by pre-Roman Northern Europeans, increases the amount of food available and gives more weight gain than the isolated grain.Īrgentines do it and have the second best meat in the world. It's called silage and can have 10% grains and 90% dry matter. People who have small farms and lots of cattle use a cheap alternative to feed cows, pigs and sheep (goats are rare here): plant grain in the spring, harvest the plant before maturation (with stem, leaves and straw), crush and bury for three months (until fermenting). Uruguayans do this and have the best meat in the world. In the digestive tract of these animals, straw and dry grass give the same result. Pigs can be fed with straw in conjunction with grains.Ĭows and sheep can be fed in winter with dry straw mixed with dry grass. Originally posted by Ronald Gordo:There are some statements here that are not completely correct. I live in Civitanova Marche Alta, i've ridden my bike from my home to Friuli-Venezia Giulia (Grado) exactly this winter (VERY bad idea, let's just wait for warmer seasons). I did, but all i found was fermenting grains (nothing new), a video about feeding silage to cattles (ok, well done youtube), a video about pigs eating grass (yea they naturally eat fresh grass) and finally a video of a guy actually growing his pigs without grain.īut it doesn't look like it's the norm and at least i'm completely sure it's not here in Italy. my grandfather came from Northern Italy, Venezia Giulia. Here, in southern Brazil, many descendants of Germans raise pigs. My family never raised pigs, only cows and sheep. Originally posted by jg89d:Never had pigs myself, just A LOT of chickens, but i live right outside the city and never seen pigs being fed silage, unless it has also another meaning in english than the one i've found. When it's gone they will eat the useless grain and my village falls apart. despite the unrealistic scenario that my villagers would rather build with the complete useless grain - in harvest-time the fields are filled with rotting grain and everybody is carrying straw around, trading it like gold until the cattle senselessly munch my pretious building material. until the village collapses.Ī) switch the feeding of livestock to grain and to keep the straw for building/repair?ī) to set amounts of straw exclusively for building/repairĬ) to implement fields which only produce straw (and lots of it) ? No straw, no repair, no buildings, no harvest. But the village is still without straw and the vicious circle restarts. In Winter my livestock will not suffer much because after straw is out, they get grain (my granaries are overfilled as my villagers have plenty of meat from the livestock). Than the fields are empty and I am not able to harvest. Than, when it is about to harvest the grain, nearly all my buildings need repair, my building sites need straw to finish and when the first crops are cut all my harvesters take the straw and go repairing and building. So from spring on I am without straw, cannot build or repair. Simultaneously the animals are consuming all my straw, so that I cannot build or repair my buildings after winter. If my village is focused on stock farming and I get nearly my complete food from it, I am damned to build enormous amounts of grainfields to get my stock over the winter. The most important building-material from bronze age on is straw.
