Question

Which of the following feed storage structure is considered traditional storage structure
a) Silo
b) Brick built godowns
c) Improved bins
d) Mud bin

Answer 1

Traditionally, silos are used for bulk storage of feed for cattle. They were majorly first followed in Africa, by the African tribes to store about 2 to 3 tonnes of feed.

They provide an effective method of storage against rodents and insects.

The major caution to be taken before storage is the drying of silos, since, the moisture causes formation and growth of microbes and contaminants.
