"Asesoramiento tècnico para la construcciòn de un silo de tipo trinchera en el centro experimental Nº 1 de la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias".

Abstract

The objective of the present work was the technical advice for the construction of a trench-type silo in the experimental center No. 1 of the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences. For this, a methodology was used that corresponded to the community development modality with intervention, action, participation. For the construction of the silo, a diagnostic visit was first carried out to recognize the area and determine where it would be located. For the leveling of the land, heavy machinery was hired to proceed to dig in the place where the silo would be built and later level its base. In the first place, the foundations of the silo were cast, in accordance with the technical criteria established for its dimensions. Next, the formwork was assembled to proceed with the casting of the silo walls. In this process, it was taken into consideration to make slots in the walls to be able to divide the silo into 3 parts so that there is silage available at different times. Finally, we proceeded with the construction of the roof based on a metal structure in order to protect the silage from the rains. The final result of this work was a silo with the following dimensions: 8 meters long, 4 meters wide, 2 meters deep, with an approximate storage capacity of 44.8 tons of grass-based silage and an approximate capacity of 38.4 ton of silage based on legumes.
