QUESTION

The pH of good silage is?

OPTIONS

(A) 7
(B) 4
(C) 6
(D) 3.5

ANSWER

(B) 4

EXPLANATION

Good silage undergoes lactic-acid fermentation and typically reaches a pH around 4, sufficiently acidic to inhibit undesirable microorganisms. A pH of 6 or 7 indicates inadequate fermentation, while 3.5 is lower than the usual target for good conventional silage.
