This study examines the effect of packaging thickness on corn silage quality during long-term storage to address animal feed shortages during the dry season.
Climate change and the increasing unpredictability of environmental conditions have aggravated the shortage of animal feed crops during the dry season. This study examines effect of packaging thickness on the quality of corn silage during long-term storage, to maintain its nutritional value during feed shortages. The results show that packaging with thicknesses of 80, 120, 150, and 200 microns effectively maintain good physical quality, including odor, texture, color, and pH levels, during the 0–21day storage period. The silage had a fermented like fruit flavor or vinegar flavor, a silage texture, and well-preserved leaves and stems. Its color remained yellowish-green, with pH values between 3.7 and 4.7. Additionally, lactic acid analysis found that silage in 200-micron-thick packaging for 21 days had the highest lactic acid content (5.64%). However, there were no significant differences in the nutritional value of the silage across different packaging thicknesses
