Martin Knicky

My area of ​​expertise extends from harvesting methods to conservation methods (ensilage, pre-drying, drying) of mainly forage. In my research, I focus on factors that affect conservation and storage processes in connection with feed quality and environmental impact. My research includes everything from experimental planning, in laboratory scale to industrial scale, sampling and sample analysis (chemical and mainly microbial) to interpretation of results. I have participated in many national and international research projects within that network, including with Trioplast AB, Pöttinger Maschinenfabrik GmbH, Trejon AB, Stalham Engineering Co. Ltd., BASF GmbH, Addcon GmbH, and not least with Hanson & Möhring AB (Salinity) where I developed and tested their patented ensiling agent Safesil.
