Silage quality of cutting edge samples vs. net bag samples.

Silage Quality Parameter	Mean in the Cutting Edge Samples (n = 115)	Mean in the Net Bag Samples (n = 115)
pH	3.79 ± 0.01	3.83 ± 0.03
Ammonia content (g/kg DM)	0.888 ± 0.018	0.817 ± 0.076
Lactic acid content (g/kg DM)	48.73 ± 1.04	44.08 ± 2.82
Acetic acid content (g/kg DM)	15.05 ± 0.46	15.02 ± 1.58
Total Fliegscore	91.3 ± 0.5	92.5 ± 1.4

Arithmetic mean values ± standard error of mean. No significant differences were found between cutting edge samples and net bag samples for any of the silage quality parameters.
