Thus, the two objectives of this study were: 1) to evaluate
the influence of particle size of feedstock and bale wrap on
storage DM losses for switchgrass that was preprocessed
using the BT3 technology prior to storage, and 2) to assess the
trade-offs in the value of foregone storage DM losses with
more protection and the cost of the protective wrap provided
by the BT3 technology. Our data were collected from a 225-day
storage experiment conducted in Tennessee USA where
switchgrass is considered to be a primary candidate for LCB
production [27]. The results will help improve efficiency and
reduce costs for the bioenergy processors in the Southeast
