Drying methods for high-quality pasture can be divided into artificial drying and natural drying. The following principles should be mastered when dry pastures are kept: To grasp the weather conditions and to minimize rain. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and reduce the loss of vitamin A, vitamin C and leaves. When drying hay on sunny days, it usually takes only 5 to 8 hours for the moisture content of the grass to fall to 45% to 55%. Therefore, it should be turned to ensure that the water in the various parts of the plant is evenly distributed, and the mechanical loss of the leaves and twigs caused by turning is avoided. Weeds, grasses, bales, shelves, and stacking should be taken to avoid breaking the young part of the plant. A normal temperature ventilation drying method High-quality pasture is naturally dried in the field after being cut. When the moisture content is reduced to 35% to 50%, it is transported to a grass shed provided with ventilation passages, and is dried by a blower and other air blowing device. This method is suitable for harvesting grass where relative humidity is lower than 75% and the temperature is higher than 15°C. Second, straw drying method It is used in more rainy areas. Pastures are cut into small bundles or transported directly to the straw for drying. The grass frame is constructed with wooden poles, bamboo poles or metal pipes to create trapezoidal or tiered shelving. The roots of the grass on the rack are upwards, and are piled into cones or ridges with a thickness of no more than 70-80 cm. The peasants' maps are simple, and the use of large trunks, walls, and other drying of hay has similar effects. Third, the ground drying method It is a better method to use in arid regions and must be carried out on a sunny day. The weather conditions have a great influence on the quality of forage grasses. The castrated pasture is first spread on the ground, and when the surface layer withered, it can be sun-dried; when the moisture content is reduced to 40%~50%, the grass can be piled; when it is reduced to 30%, the leaves are not easy to fall off and transported to the stacking pasture. Or grass shed stacking, proper fermentation in the haystack, water can continue to be distributed. When the water content drops to about 14%, it can be stored on the clams. Fourth, fermentation drying method This method can be used when it is impossible to perform normal drying in case of rainy weather and no racks. The method is to layer and compact the wilted grasses that have been castrated, and when necessary, the salt that is 0.5% to 1% of the weight of the green grass can be layered and piled into a haystack that is 3 to 5 meters high and fermented for 30 to 60 days. The sunny days open the haystack and allow the water to evaporate. The hay prepared by this method is tan, and the loss of nutrients is more than 50%. It is a method that must be adopted under bad weather conditions. Fifth, high temperature rapid drying method The chopped grass is fed into the dryer and the grass is dried quickly using high-temperature air. Drying time depends on the dryer model, ranging from hours to seconds. The advantage of this method is that it can combine grass powder production and granulation production at the same time, which improves the utilization rate and commercial property of forage grass. However, investment in equipment is large, and few methods are used in China. Six, fracturing grass stem drying method In foreign countries, mechanical methods are used to crush the grass and accelerate the speed of pasture drying. In China's rural areas, strontium and wheat straw are mixed and stratified. This not only accelerates the speed of pasture drying, but also increases the feed value of straw. The method is: spread the wheat straw on the drying field, about 10 centimeters thick, and lay 10 centimeters thick fresh alfalfa in the middle, add a layer of wheat straw, and then roll it, until most of the juice of the alfalfa is absorbed by the wheat straw, and then air-dried.
