An experiment was conducted using elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) cv. Cameroon, with the purpose of determining the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of effluent released, correlating this with levels of pressure and the quality of silage. The material with 13% of dry matter was ensiled in experimental plastic silos. The levels of pressure were: 356.67; 446.67; 531.33; 684.00 and 791.00 kg/m3. The effluent of silages with high moisture content was collected and measured during seven days. In silages with high […]
