Abstract

In a first trial the particle size distribution of four maize silages was measured by two different sieving methods, dry and wet sieving. Particle size distribution was quantified by three values, mean particle size, extent of dispersion, and proportion of large particles. Wet sieving separated particles better than dry sieving and was more suitable for measuring maize silage particle size. In a second trial the particle size distribution of 10 maize hybrids grown in the same conditions was measured by wet sieving. Starch proportion in large particles varied widely between maize hybrids, from 39.7 to 82.4%, against a variation from 75.4 to 100% for cell wall proportion in the same class of particles, and these variations might be predicted by dry matter distribution.
