 Modalities for Implementation of the Scheme “Support to
Entrepreneurs for Establishment of Silage Making Unit (2000-2400 MT

BACKGROUND:
Silage is basically a preserved green fodder in succulent form under air tight
conditions. It is preserved from the fermentation of sugars available in the green fodder in the
absence of oxygen (Anaerobic condition) having high moisture around 65-70 percent. It is the
best method for preservation of surplus green fodder produced during flush season which can
be used for feeding the livestock during the lean period and natural calamities. The nutritional
loss is lesser in silage than hay. Silage making will support the Entrepreneurs to cater to the
nutritional needs of livestock by feeding with ensiled green fodder round the year to obtained
optimum milk yield. This programme will be implemented under National Livestock Mission
(NLM) during the year 2022-23.
AIM:
This programme aims to support Entrepreneurs for establishment of Silage making unit of
(2000-2400 MT per Annum)” with a central capital subsidy of 50 percent of the total cost to
the eligible entities with Entrepreneurs’ share of 50 percent out of total cost of Rs.50,00,000/-
