Alemán. Bad ensilability of the crop can be improved or compensated by ensiling technology mainly in four ways: Reducing water content by wilting; increasing homogenity and substrate availability by chopping or laceration; use of additives; increasing insufficient epiphytic population of lactic acid bacteria by adding LAB-inoculants. In the storage phase - in addition to the unavoidable fermentation losses, mainly controlled by substrate parameters - air infiltration is a markable source of losses. Aeration losses often may exceed those due to fermentation. In this context, the following matters have to be observed: The motive forces for air infiltration; factors influencing its intensisity, such as leakages and resistance of the forage to gas flow; practical measures to reduce gas flow, such as consolidation and sealing.
