Abstract

AIMS: The purpose of this work was to study the effect of temperature on the ensiling process and aerobic stability of corn and wheat silages. METHODS AND RESULTS: The crops were ensiled in 1.5 l anaerobic jars, with and without an inoculant, at room or elevated temperatures (37-41 degrees C). After two months of ensiling, the silages were subjected to an aerobic stability test at room and elevated (33 degrees C) temperature. The results indicate that ensiling at elevated temperatures resulted in higher pH values, less lactic acid and higher losses. The silages which were stored at elevated temperatures were more susceptible to aerobic spoilage than those stored at room temperature, especially when the test was performed at elevated temperature. CONCLUSION: High temperatures are detrimental to both the ensiling process and the aerobic stability of silages. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The findings of the current study suggest that in a warm climate, special care should be taken during silage making and storage in order to avoid heating as much as possible. In addition, in a warm climate, silages are more susceptible to aerobic deterioration and therefore, special care should be taken during unloading.

  • Ensiling at high temperatures or in wet conditions increases the rate of DM losses before silo sealing.

    “Ensiling at high temperatures or in wet conditions is known to increase the rate of DM losses before silo sealing (Weinberg et al., 2001; Ashbell et al., 2002).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
