EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSES OF PROCESSES OCCURRING DURING THE STORAGE OF CEREALS IN SILOS OF COMPOUND FEED FACTORIES

The evolution of society and global demographic growth have led to a diversification of people`s food needs and, implicitly, increased demand for products from zootechnical farms. Over the last few years, for animal feeds are widely used compound feed obtained in factories by blending cereals with other proteinaceous ingredients and vegetable oils.In this paper a study is made on the conditions of storage of cereals in the silos of the compound feed factories, considering the fact that exist the possibility to keep them for quite a long period of time.It also presents an analysis of the factors influencing the stored cereals by carrying out some experimental measurements at different time points on samples taken from different places of the large quantity of grain which exist in the silos of the compound feed factories
