Description

Key Points

  1. The determination of overall DM recovery is important in tropical grass silage systems
  2. Silage fermentation profile and aerobic stability: trends and additional effects
  3. Combinations of chemical and microbial additives might be useful for control of losses
  4. Fermentation products should be considered in order to better predict animal performance
  5. A critical points database would be a helpful management tool for the development of a set of HACCP principles for the production and utilisation of tropical grass silages
