Abstract：The accuracy of the method of rapid evaluation of corn silage processing score by using a vibrating sieve instrument was verified by experiments.In the study,corn silage samples from eight different pastures or herdsmen were measured by referring to the processing scoring method of corn silage proposed by Dr.Dave Mertens of the Roughage Research Center of the United States Department of Agriculture.The results showed that the ratio of corn silage samples passing through 4.75 mm sieve ranged from 59.76％～75.26％,and the grades of processing were both average and excellent.The study indicates that this scoring method can provide a convenient and rapid analysis method for evaluating the feeding value of corn silage.
