Much research focused on the chopping length, additives, sealing system, harmful bacteria and their toxins, and so forth, has been done on corn silage both at home in China and abroad. Some suggestions were presented in this review： （1） Corn silage modulation： Whole-plant corn harvested at the milk-ripe stage with a dry matter （DM） content of 30%~40% was selected as silage material and treated by rubbing and cutting. In the process of silage, commercial Lactobacillus buchneri was inoculated, exogenous protease added appropriately, cellulose enzyme added depending on the phenological period, the silage container and the species of the animals, and coextruded polyethylene？polyamide oxygen barrier flm （OB） selected as the seal material. （2） Strengthening management： Aerobic exposure should be avoided at the storage stage and reduced during the feeding phase. The proportion of corn silage was increased depending on the type of animal and their management. （3） Suggestions for further research： Further studies would be needed for the effects of liquid and solid wastes on soil, water and vegetation, and the treatment of these wastes.展开更多
