Abstract
Exposure of high moisture corn (Zea mays L.; HMC) to air during feedout from a silo can result in excessive deterioration or instability. Deterioration is usually manifest as temperature elevation, discoloration, nutrient loss and mold growth. The greater the exposed surface and the longer the exposure, the more deterioration and loss that occurs. A survey of aerobic instability of HMC from 29 Michigan farms was conducted. Chemical composition of HMC in the whole or processed forms was similar. On average, all corn samples underwent a limited fermentation as indicated by the low volatile fatty acid concentrations and high pH (...)
