16) Characteristics of silage making:
● Conservation by aerobic fermentation
● High-moisture forage conserved
● Acetic acid produced mainly
● Chopping followed by wilting
● High-moisture forage conserved
Harvest and chopping of high moisture forage + anaerobic fermentation in silo (press aur out) + cover to stay anaerobic - lactic acid will be produced
Haylage = low moisture
At first, there will always be O2 left but this will be used up by plants enzymes which will produce water and heat - this should take one day - if it takes too long the heat will be too much and the silage will be bad quality
Facultative bacteria will start fermentation and produce VFAs and this period should also be short (transitional phase) - the pH will be lowered so that lactobacilli will grow.
Now lactobacilli will grow and lower the pH - low pH will block all the other bacteria and then when it gets too low it will stop the growth of the lactobacilli itself and we will have STEADY STATE
