Popis: Traditionally fodder beets have been fed to dairy cows as fresh beets, which has limited the use to a short period of the year. Conservation as silage could extend to whole year use. Beets can be ensiled in bunker silos, but with substantial effluent losses. Co-ensiling with e.g. maize whole crop can diminish effluents, but is difficult due to coordination of harvest times for beets and maize.Mono ensiling of chopped sugar beets in silos keeping the effluents (wet ensiling) is an attractive alternative; however, the knowledge on fermentation pattern in such silages is scarce. The aim of this study was to examine fermentation characteristics and nutrient changes during the ensiling process when sugar beets were ensiled wet.
