Question: Silage is prepared by: ((MCAER 2014))
Options:
High water table
Low water table
Moderate water table
No water table
✅Explanation: Deep bed drying involves spreading grains in a thick layer for drying. A low water table ensures that moisture can evaporate efficiently, preventing spoilage and mold growth.
🔑Key Points:
-Deep bed drying is the heterogeneous drying of grains in deep layers of more than 20 cm by conventional heat transfer.
-The moisture removal rate is maximum in the bottom layer of the bed and exponentially decreases in the above layers.Â
-As the dry air moves from bottom to top, the moisture content increases, and temperature decreases.
