Description
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Ensilage of Fodder Corn
The literature of ensilage consists, in the main, of the experience of individuals under a great variety of conditions, and the inferences or impressions derived from a limited range of observation, as recorded in Agricultural reports and papers.
In experiments relating to the chemistry of ensilage, the factors of dominant interest, so far as the cause of the changes taking place in the fodder are concerned, have been almost entirely neglected, and but little real progress has been made in our knowledge of the economies of the silo.
From a practical standpoint it seems desirable, at the present time, to collate the well known facts in regard to the practice of ensilage and bring them into some consistent relation with definite principles, in harmony with the latest developments of science.
This will not only aid the farmer in deciding upon the best methods of practice, but it will clear the way for needed scientific investigations, by suggesting and defining the lines of research that may be profitably followed to obtain a consistent explanation of the complex changes taking place in the ensilage of fodder.
