ABSTRACT:
A method for preserving and controlling the fermentation of silages and high moisture content grains, for example, high moisture content corn and corn silage, by adding to the silage or grain an amount of an alkali metal sulfite, bisulfite, metabisulfite or mixtures thereof sufficient to rapidly create a substantially anaerobic atmosphere in the silage, but insufficient of itself to provide a substantial bactericidal effect in the silage or grain. The alkali metal sulfite, bisulfite or metabisulfite is preferably added to the silage, together with an alkali metal sulfate and an amylolytic enzyme, preferably malt diastase or any of the following: alpha amylase, beta amylase or amylase from aspergillus oryzae.
