The main reasons why pasture needs to be dried are as follows:
Ensure the quality of forage: Forage contains a lot of water and nutrients. If it is not dried, it will easily become damp, moldy, and deteriorate, affecting its quality and taste. By drying, the moisture in the grass can be effectively removed, extending its shelf life and ensuring its quality and taste.
Convenient storage and transportation: Dried forage has lower moisture content, which can reduce storage and transportation costs. At the same time, the dried forage can be made into granular or powder form for easy storage and transportation.
Improve the nutritional value of forage: During the drying process, the nutrients in the forage can be effectively retained, and the digestion and absorption rate of the forage can also be increased.
Adapt to market demand: As a new type of feed raw material, the market demand for dried forage is also increasing. Through drying processing, the market demand for high-quality feed can be met.
In short, the purpose of drying forage is to ensure its quality, facilitate storage and transportation, improve nutritional value, adapt to market demand and increase the added value of agricultural products. As an important agricultural product processing technology, drying technology is of great significance for improving agricultural production efficiency and meeting market demand.
