Controlled fermentation is the metabolic process that allows the preservation of the nutritional value of the corn silage.
To preserve as much of the corn silage as possible, fill the silo as quickly as possible and pack well to decrease the amount of air pockets in the silage.
Fill the silo with corn silage as quickly as possible, and then seal it to exclude. Estimating moisture content of chopped forage using the “grab test.” condition of the forage ball approximate moisture content ball holds its shape The faster the silo is filled and covered, the faster the fermentation will begin, the lower the losses will be and the better the quality of the corn silage.
Level the corn silage and form a trench in the silage around the wall of the silo. Place the cover over the corn silage with the edges of the cover in the trench and up the sides of the silo. Place grain corn or wheat over the cover to seal the plastic against the silo wall and the packed silage.
