Corn Silage is a source of abundant energy and fiber for the cattle, especially the dairy cows. It is very important to keep a continuous check on the nutritional value of the silage and improve the same by decreasing the unwanted concentrations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-align-justify\">The primary acid produced by corn fermentation is lactic acid and this compound often provides fermented corn a sour note.
