Description: Tower silo capacity and silage density information is available (American Society of Agricultural Engineers) (ASAE) 1975 Standing Committee on Farm Building Standards (SCFBS) 1975). This information was collected from silos up to 12 m (40 ft) in height (McCalmont 1963 Otis and Pomroy 1957) and extrapolated for heights beyond 12 m (40 ft). The size of most silos on farms today is in the range for which only extrapolated information is available. Storage losses for corn silage have been estimated (Watson and Nash 1960 Zelter 1969 Zimmer 1971) but there is a scarcity of recent data on the relationship of moisture content of corn silage to dry matter (DM) losses in large tower silos.

Keywords: effects of moisture content on corn silage density and storage losses in a large tower silo
