Technical Abstract:
Significant losses of forage can occur as forage is removed from storage and fed. Hay losses are affected by the type of feeder used. Losses from silage are also affected by the bulk density of the silage, feedout rate, smoothness of the removal face and the amount of loosened silage that is not fed immediately. Recommendations are made to minimize losses during emptying in bunker, bag and tower silos.
