- Cut the grass after several sunny days (and with a stable outlook)
- If possible, cut in the afternoon (sugars)
- Try to get the grass as cold as possible in the pit (if possible ensilage in the morning)
- Aim for 30-40% DM, max. 45%. Farmers often ensilage too dry.
- Aim for the shortest possible field period.
- Focus on good compacting the pit. Riding, riding and riding! (O2). Layering no more than 30 cm.
- Speed is determined by the driver in the pit, only new freight at adequate compaction (O2)
- Airtight pit cover:
- When trench silo, always use wall film
- Use lower foil
- Topcoat treatment if desired
- Cover the pit immediately after ensilage (O2). Try to avoid one night between the ensilage and cover.
- Weight on the pit (eg. sand or strap system).
