Preparation, Maintenance and Utilisation of Maize Silage: A Review [PDF]
, 2003 Forage conservation has become an important tool for animal enterprises to ensure an adequate supply of quality feed throughout the year. This in turn contributes to stability in animal production and thus economic performance. Silage is often the preferred preserved fodder when animals are fed adjacent to the storage site.

Maize silage for milk production - Part 1: Effect of the quality of maize silage on milk [PDF]
, 1998 Ensiled forage maize is an alternative or complementary forage to grass silage and is the main source of forage for ruminant livestock in many European countries. The growing of maize for silage was tried unsuccessfully in Ireland in the 1970’s, was resumed in the late 1980’s and is now well established in suitable areas in the south and east of ...

Influence of maize hybrids on silage quality
, 2023 Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important silage crop due to its low buffer capacity, high amount of dry matter and optimal concentration of soluble carbohydrates. Silage of maize is a process of anaerobic preservation by lactic acid fermentation, which reduces the possibility of loss of nutrients from harvest to consumption of animal feed.
