Abstract
Silage effluent is retained within the silo by adding a water-absorbent, water-swellable particles of synthetic polymer with the grass, maize etc. Preferably the polymer is an acrylic acid polymer or a dimethylaminoethyl acrylate polymer. The polymer may be used in conjunction with other additives e.g. lactic-acid producing bacterial inoculants, acid compounds or sterilizing compositions.
