Corn Grain Silage Fermentation Data from a Randomized Experiment

Two treatments with six replications each evaluated the effects of corn grain particle size on silage fermentation. The study measured dry matter recovery, fiber content, and concentrations of acetic and lactic acid. Marlon Richard Hilário da Silva authored this research, which is available via Open Access.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between particle size and fiber content based on the described treatments.
• Analyzing the effect of geometric mean diameter on acetic and lactic acid concentrations mentioned in the description.
• Predicting aerobic stability and quality loss in silage based on the reported 90-hour stability test.
• Comparing fermentation profiles between fine and coarse rehydrated corn grain silage as defined in the study.

Strengths

• Experimental design was completely randomized with two treatments and six replications.
• Dry matter recovery was reported as high, with values greater than 97% for both silage types.
• Aerobic stability was measured over a 90-hour period after opening the silos.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
