Popis: Cover crops harvested at a low maturity stage generally have a high moisture content, which may generate energy losses during silage storage via effluent production and undesirable fermentations. This paper investigates the use of different waste types as absorbent co-substrates to be added before ensiling. The relation between the absorbent water holding capacity and silage effluent volume was first studied to find an effective parameter to prevent effluent production. Effluent retention was found to be proportional to the absorbent loading and water holding capacity (r
