Alimentation animale. [...] Le maïs-plante entière se conserve bien par ensilage, car il est relativement riche en glucides solubles. Chaque fois que cela est possible, il est donc préférable de l'ensiler plutôt que de le déshydrater, car l'ensilage est moins coûteux que la déshydratation. 3, record 2, French, - ma%C3%AFs%2Dplante%20enti%C3%A8re
