Losses of forage dry matter (DM) and quality in large round bales of alfalfa stored outdoors can be substantial. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of wrap type and storage method on the preservation of dry alfalfa bales store

Abstr act. Substantial dry matter (DM) and quality losses have been reported for partially dried alfalfa that has been rained on before moisture reduction to levels acceptable for dry hay storage. The objective of this research was to determine the f

Crop processors on forage harvesters have become readily available and widely used by North American livestock producers. Past research has shown that intensive mechanical processing at the time of cutting can improve the fiber digestibility of alfal

Three methods to improve the storage characteristics of large square bales were investigated. These methods included: treatment with propionic acid, treatment with a bacterial inoculant, and formation of an 8 or 12-cm diameter vent hole through the b

This research developed systems to measure mass-flow of hay and forage using a self-propelled windrower, self-propelled forage harvester and large square baler in order to generate yield maps of hay and forage production. The windrower was used to co

Mechanical manipulation of forage crops by shredding, lacerating, macerating or processing has been shown to produce improved physical properties for some ruminant feedstuffs. Many benefits arise from the increased specific surface area that result f

Bale chamber and pick-up losses were determined for small rectangular, large round, and mid-size rectangular balers. In addition, storage characteristics of alfalfa bales formed with small and mid-size rectangular balers were measured. The mid-size r

An upward-cutting, cut-and-throw, forage harvester was previously shown to reduce specific energy requirements by 30 to 34%, but it also had a 27% shorter throwing distance than a conventional, cut-and-blow, forage harvester. The upward-cutting, cut-

An experimental tillage tool that combines active and passive elements was field tested. Because the active elements were forward-rotating and, thus, resulted in a negative draft, overall draft requirements of the total tool was decreased considerabl
