To the question of increasing the quality of haylage prepared under adverse climatic and weather conditions

The research objective was the analysis of modern technologies of haylage preparation and the search of the main directions to increase quality indicators of haylage forage prepared under adverse weather and climatic conditions of the regions of Russia. The re-search problems were to carry out the analysis of tech- nical and technological support of the process of haylage preparation; to reveal the main ways of im- provement of the quality of haylage forage prepared in difficult weather climatic conditions characterized by high hydrothermal coefficient and considerable overcast of the sky during harvest works; to prove the main direc- tions of the improvement of technical means for prepa- ration of qualitative forage. It has been found out that the most effective under adverse climatic and weather conditions of the North-Western part of Russia (with highly probable precipitation and dense clouding) is “wrapped” haylage preparation. The important role in providing quality indicators of prepared grass forage belongs to rolled press sorters...
