Fermentation quality of a wrapped silo prepared by a roll baler for chopped maize and a bale wrapper were investigated in a field test to verify the practicality of the machines developed by IAM-BRAIN. The investigation revealed that the fermentation quality of the silage in the wrapped silo was excellent after one year. In addition, no practical problems of the fermentation quality were discovered, even when the material contained a high volume of water that produced drainage or soil adhered when the bale was released. Fermentation quality remained high for five days even in summer when 18cm thickness of silage was removed from the wrapped silo everyday. Furthermore, sorghum, oat and rhodesgrass ensiled in the wrapped silo fermented well.
