Subject field(s)
  • Grain Growing
  • Animal Feed (Agric.)
CONT

When high moisture grain such as corn is placed in a sealed silo, the grain undergoes fermentation, oxygen is depleted, and carbon dioxide is increased by the respiration of the grains, yeasts, and bacteria. Aerobic mold growth is halted but germination is impaired, making the seed only suitable for animal feed.

Key term(s)
  • high-moisture grain

French

Domaine(s)
  • Culture des céréales
  • Alimentation des animaux (Agric.)
CONT

Lorsque du grain à forte teneur en eau (maïs) est placé dans un silo étanche, ce grain subit une fermentation; l’oxygène est consommé et la teneur en gaz carbonique est augmentée par la respiration des grains, des levures et des bactéries. La croissance des moisissures aérobies est arrêtée, mais la germination est rendue impossible et le grain ne peut plus servir qu’à l’alimentation du bétail.
