Silage Density Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Silage Density.
SD = WS / VSR
- Where SD is the Silage Density (kg/m^3)
- WS is the weight of silage fed (kg)
- VSR is the volume of silage removed (m^3)
How to Calculate Silage Density?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Silage Density.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the weight of silage fed (kg).
- The weight of silage fed (kg) is given as: 6000.
- Next, determine the volume of silage removed (m^3).
- The volume of silage removed (m^3) is provided as: 200.
- Finally, calculate the Silage Density using the equation above:
SD = WS / VSR
The values given above are inserted into the equation below:
SD = 6000 / 200 = 30 (kg/m^3)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:
weight of silage fed (kg) = 1599
volume of silage removed (m^3) = 400
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
SD = WS / VSR = ?
