Bunkers or round bales: Losses and silage quality with or without acid treatment of low dry matter grass crops
Randby, Åshild Taksdal; Bakken, Anne Kjersti (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)Grass clover crops were harvested with or without application of 4 L/t of a formic- and propionic acid-based silage additive and ensiled in one bunker silo and 6 round bales per treatment in each of three harvests. The ... -
Effect of acid based additive treatment of low dry matter grass crops on losses and silage quality in bunker silos
Randby, Åshild Taksdal; Bakken, Anne Kjersti (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-05)The large surface area of bunker silos imposes challenges with heating caused by plant respiration during initial ensiling. This study aimed to explore if application of a formic- and propionic acid-based additive would ... -
Effect of maturity stage at harvest and kernel processing of whole crop wheat silage on digestibility by dairy cows
Randby, Åshild Taksdal; Nadeau, Elisabet; Karlsson, Linda; Johansen, Astrid (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The study aimed to explore whether digestibility by cows of whole crop wheat silage harvested at two different dough stages of maturity was impaired due to its content of whole kernels. Wheat was harvested at early (ED) ... -
Losses and grass silage quality in bunker silos compacted by tractor versus wheel loader
Randby, Åshild Taksdal; Halvorsen, Haakon Nordtveit; Bakken, Anne Kjersti (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04-27)The study aimed to explore whether an increase in bunker silage density obtained by turning to a heavier packing machine than a farm size tractor would reduce losses and improve grass silage quality and aerobic stability. ...
