Silage must be firmly packed to minimize the oxygen content, lest it spoil. Silage goes through four major stages in a silo: [14] Presealing, which, after the first few days after filling a silo, enables some respiration and some dry matter (DM) loss, but stops. Fermentation, which occurs over a few weeks.
A charcoal pile or charcoal clamp is a carefully arranged pile of wood, covered by turf or other layer, inside which a fire is lit in order to produce charcoal. The pile is tended by a charcoal burner. It is similar to a charcoal kiln, but the latter is usually a permanent structure made of materials such as stone.

A chuck is a specialized type of clamp used to hold an object with radial symmetry, especially a cylinder. In a drill, a mill and a transmission, a chuck holds the rotating tool; in a lathe, it holds the rotating workpiece. [1] Chucks commonly use jaws to hold the tool or workpiece.
Silage, a fermented animal feed, was introduced in the late 1800s, and can also be stored in a silage or haylage bale, which is a high-moisture bale wrapped in plastic film. These are baled much wetter than hay bales, and are usually smaller than hay bales because the greater moisture content makes them heavier and harder to handle.
