R.  aEffect of formic acid on the fermentation of grass of low dry matter content.h[electronic resource]  c1971  aThe use of formic as a silage additive is not new; its use was advocated by Dirks as early as 1926. A few years later, Von Kapff described the silo-acid process in which a mixture of mixture of formic and hydrocloric acids was sprinkled over the herbag. More recently, Saue & Breirem have reviewed experiments, carried out in europe during the period 1940-1960, in which the efficiency of formic acid as a silage additive was compared with that of mineral acids (A.I.V. process). Although, in most experiments, formic acid compared well with A.I.V. acids with respect to its effect on silage quality, extensive examination by the Norwegian workers of silage samples collected at farms gave varying results.  aSilagem  aAcido formico  aDry matter1 aMcDONALD, P.  tJournal of Science and Food Agriculturegv.22, p.157-163, 1971.
