| Studies involving other species are required only when the nature of the ensiled material makes it more appropriate for use with nonruminants. |
| Directly ensiled grass can produce peak effluent flows of up to 30 litres per tonne per day for the first few days after ensiling. |
| Make sure new rations are in place before the feed is fed and make alterations when ensiled feed analysis results are available. |
| A number of farmers ensiled potatoes with grass to conserve the material for winter feeding. |
| A preservative is then applied and the grain is ensiled in a polythene-lined clamp. |
| A high moisture content in the ensiled material facilitates compaction and the exclusion of air. |
