Abstract
A conservation experiment is described in which a comparison is made of quality and of nutrient losses in wilted and unwilted lacerated silages made by the cold fermentation process in large trench silos. The losses of dry matter in the two wilted silages were 19.7 and 16.7% and in the unwilted silages 23.3 and 22.1%.Keywords
