El ensilado de hierba: proceso y parámetros de calidad

Abstract

Fodder conserving methods aim to preserve as many nutritional qualities as possible at the time of cutting, ensuring an appetising food with high nutritional value that does not involve any risk to the animals' health. In this sense, grass silage is of great importance in Asturias as it allows greater independence with regard to adverse weather conditions and enables the grass to be harvested at the optimum moment and when there are surpluses (May-June).
