Ensilage

The ensiling is an amazing biological process that has been helping people preserve feed for centuries. This book is unique because it provides a comprehensive view of the ensiling process and the silage itself in its entirety: it starts with fodder growing in the fields, proceeds through harvesting and conservation, and then ends with the intake of silage by animals.
The book is very richly illustrated (more than 450 photographic shots and more than 170 illustrations and diagrams) and on this basis, its ambition is to explain the ensilage process to anyone who is interested in this process in any way.
The book explains to managers the importance and the biological background of many details that fundamentally affect the success of the silage process. It offers professionals and researchers a wide range of detailed views on the ensiling process in practice and on the possibility of explaining new knowledge to the target group: silage producers themselves. This book will be of significant interest also to students and advisors of cattle nutrition and feed evaluation.
