earlier. A possible explanation is that there may be
a relation with the increase in capacity of harvesting
machinery in recent years. This increase may have
lead, on average, to a decrease in the time spent for

Future research will focus on, firstly, the evaluation
of practical measures for prevention of aerobic instability
problems, for instance increasing silage density
in surface layers and use of special silage additives,
and, secondly, creating awareness among farmers and
contractors.
