      In most cases the smell comes from the fermentation process that is aided by molasses and other silage innoculants.The work of concentrates is just to add value to the silage.

    Excellent video, thank you for the great work. Milky stage might be best if maize is drying faster, but the most recommend is "dough stage" when is 3/4 milk stage (that is when its on mahindi choma stage with a few cobs still milky), this stage you get most maize grain starch and at the same time keeping a green maize stalk. What is important we need to wait as much as we can for maize grain to foten(not mikly and not hard) i.e. "dough stage" but monitoring maize itself isikauke, that the best
