Material and methods
Two grass silages were harvested from the primary growth
of predominantly perennial ryegrass swards between 15
and 17 May, and 2 and 3 June, respectively, and ensiled
following treatment with a bacterial inoculant (Ecosyl;
Ecosyl Products Ltd, Stokesley, North Yorkshire, England) at
the rate of 3 l/t after a 24-h wilting period. The herbage was
mown using a mower fitted with a V-spoke grass conditioner,
harvested using a self-propelled precision-chop
forage harvester and ensiled in trench silos. During filling
each silo was consolidated between loads by rolling with an
industrial loader and for a further 60 min after filling was
completed. Following consolidation, two polythene sheets
were used to seal each silo. The entire surface was then
weighted down with a layer of tyres.
