| Abstract | The keys to making silage are to 8 harvest the crop from the field at optimum maturity for good nutritive value, 8 if needed, wilt the crop as quickly as possible to an acceptable dry matter content to preserve nutrients and promote a good fermentation, 8 chop forage particles to an optimal size to allow for good effective fiber and silo packing, 8 use a proven silage additive to promote a more efficient fermentation, 8 rapidly exclude air from the forage mass in the silo structure by packing silage tightly, 8 seal the silo as rapidly as possible after filling and 7) prevent the penetration of air into the silage mass during storage and subsequent feed out. |
