Understanding the process of corn silage fermentation and starch availability

   Phase 4: Stable phase (around 21 days after ensiling).
Cereals make the best silage because they generally have low buffering capacity and high WSC (Water Soluble Carbohydrates). Alfalfa is much riskier to ensile because of the high buffering capacity and lower levels of WSC.
