Samples. Whole-plant corn white hybrid was harvested, mechanically chopped approximately at 30% of DM, and cut to a theoretical length of 0.95 cm. Silages were realized using a concrete bunker silo sealed with a plastic cap. The silage had been stored for 2 months before the sampling began. A total of 36 corn silage samples were collected from one silo located in Acatic County, Jalisco State in 2006. Sampling periods comprised January, February, March, August, September, and October. The sampling schedule was according to the feed requirements for a dairy farm. When the silo was opened, the first sample was taken to evaluate the initial quality of silage. The last three months were included to evaluate the effect of post-season rain in the preservation and quality of the silage. Each month, two samples were taken at three different levels (at 1, 2, and 3 m from the silo floor) and 30 cm depth. The samples were hand collected and the composites samples (5 kg) were homogenized and reduced to obtain three sub-samples of 1 kg for analytical determinations.
