Influence of the Harvesting and Ensilage Technology on the Quality of Maize Straw Silage

The aim of the study was to assess how the harvesting and ensilage technology influenced the quality of maize straw silages. The research findings showed that it was best to make maize straw silage in a flexible silo, whereas it was least favourable to make it in a film-covered field prism. The choice of the adequate ensilage method results in a high quality silage even if there is high content of dry matter in maize straw
