Being a participant in the process of silage and sale of corn silage, the manufacturing process was accompanied and supervised, in addition each farmer who intended to acquire the product was advised, talking about the advantage and importance of feeding with this type of food, how they should supply it and they were recommended to store it until the silage met at least 70 days of packaging, so that it fermented and its characteristics were optimal. In addition, these farmers were told about good livestock practices, importance and advantages of silage, conservation of meadows and forages, health care, among others. The silage process was developed in the agricultural center "Capachito", via Cúcuta-Puerto Santander, where 7.5 hectares of fodder corn (variety SV 1035 Yellow Hybrid) were planted, producing approximately 23 tons / ha; This fodder was ensiled in bags of 45 kg. The sale of silage and consultancies was made in the agro-veterinary warehouse of COGANOR.
