The experiment in a complete randomized design aimed to test the effect of two packing densities, 500 kg (medium) and 600 kg (high) of silage mass per cubic meter, on silage quality as compared to the original fresh material. Silages were prepared on May 18th, 2004 from a late season harvest of a maize crop at the half milky half dough kernel stage. Chopped materials with 1.2 cm theoretical particle size were packed manually in 30 liters mini-silos, in four […]
