A Simple, Effective Type of Miniature Silo for Conducting Silage Investigations¹

University of Georgia, Athens

Abstract

A study of the use of a valve consisting basically of a piece of rubber tubing with a slit in the side for permitting the escape of fermentation gases from and preventing the entrance of air into a miniature silo is reported. Such a valve, used in conjunction with two-quart jars equipped with rubber stoppers, from all indications provided quite favorable ensiling conditions and resulted in the production of excellent silage.
