Examination of the Measurement Methods Used to Determine the Silage Density in Small Farm

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the density of the compacted material in pile-type silo under field conditions and to compare different measurement methods. Three different methods (core sampling-M2,M3,M4,M5; penetrometer-M6 and control method-M1) were used for density measurement. The density measurements of the corn silage were made during the ensiling (stage-I) and at the feeding (stage-II). The results showed that different results were obtained in density measurement methods both stages. In all methods, measurements taken  from 0.40 m-layer thickness were always denser than at the measurement taken from 1.20 m-layer thickness by 21.75% in stage-I, 32.96% in stage-II. Linear regression models were determined between the methods and the M6 method both stages. Methods were  statically significant. M4 from the core sampling method and M6 are recommended because they are practical for small farms in field conditions.
