Einfluss der Getreideart auf physikalische Kenngrößen von Feuchtgetreide

Due to increasing energy costs, interest in utilising moist grain is increasing. Experiments with grain species have shown that there are significant differences in physical parameters, which are important for maintaining the quality of the preserved moist grain.

Feuchtgetreidesilierung im Folienschlauch

A well known method from the 1970s using bagging machines to preserve forage in silage bags has been further the developed for moist grain. Since 2005 it has been used for storing moist grain on farms. Preliminary investigative results for this procedure are presented in the following.

Silomais - Einfluss der Häcksellänge auf Verdichtung, Silierung und Nacherwärmung

The influence of improved structural value through bigger chop lengths are currently a much-discussed issue. Apart from animal nutrition aspects, the discussion must consider the effects on silage quality for feed preservation. In the following, a 21 mm chop length is compared to 5.5 mm for silage quality and temperature development in the interior and on the silo face of tube silos.
