Ndleleni, N.W.; Malebana, I.M.M.; Du Toit, Cornelius Jacobus Lindeque; Nephawe, K.A.; Meeske, R.; Nkosi, B.D. (South African Society for Animal Science, 2020-02-16)An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of two silage sealing films on whole crop maize (WCM) fermentation, aerobic stability and nutrient digestion by rams. Prior to ensiling (day 0), triplicate samples of the ...
