System og fremgangsmåde til overvågning af ensilering af foder

摘要

A system for monitoring the fermentation process in connection with ensilage of fodder (1) comprises a sensor device (3) arranged in the fodder during the ensilage thereof and a monitoring device (11) operatively connected to the sensor device during the ensilage. The sensor device (3) comprises at least one sensor (3a-c) provided for repeatedly measuring the content of at least one chemical substance in the fodder, which is affected by the fermentation process. The monitoring device comprises receiving means (12) provided for receiving the repeatedly measured values of the content of the chemical substance; processing means (13) provided for comparing the repeatedly measured values with reference values of the content of the chemical substance; and notifying means (14-16) provided for notifying a farmer (17) depending on the outcome of the comparison of the repeatedly measured values and the reference values.
