Recently, round bale silage is very popular preservation method in Korea. In autumn, many farmers usually make silage from fresh rice straw, but the quality of rice straw silage was not good. This study was conducted to find out the silage quality of fresh rice straw in the mid-western costal area in Korea. The average DM (dry matter) content was 40.5% and pH was 5.0. Forage quality of "A" and "D" farm silage was higher than that of others area. Silage quality was also higher in "A" and "D" farm silage of west costal area. The content of lactic acid of "A" and "D" farm silage was high and acetic and butyric acid was low. The result of this experiment indicated that the quality of fresh rice straw silage made by farmers was somewhat low. So we must guide farmers to making good quality of fresh rice straw silage.
