Some frequently asked questions about silage

摘要

EVERY silage (and hay) season many questions are asked about making and storing silage. Here are some answers to the more common questions in this article, but it's worth bearing bear in mind that there are often many factors to be taken into accountwhen answering silage related questions. Stack silage: Long chopped silage (eg loader wagon) 30-35% DM. Precision chopped 30-40% DM. Baled silage: Round bales 40-50% DM. Large rectangular bales 45-60% DM. Use a microwave oven to determine DM content. Hay moisture meters are not suitable for measuring moisture contents for silage (100 minus the moisture content = DM content).
