Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a plant species cultivated as raw material for fiber extraction. Alternatively, biomass can be used feeding or energy purposes. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of inoculation with lactic acid bacteria starter culture on fermentation and chemical compositions silages. Hemp shoots (HS) flowers (HF) were ensiled in mini laboratory silos wi...

Food waste (FW) contribute to emission of greenhouse gases as well environmental pollution. One way reducing the impact FW on environment is by using it for biofuel production. The yield from can be improved if substrate pretreated. In this study, ensiling was used a cost effective method pretreating biomethane Co-ensiling and maize straw (MS) carried out at carbon nitrogen ratios (C/N) 20, 25,...

This study examined the effects of chopping or + blender maceration red clover lucerne on pre-fermented juice (PFJ) and determined PFJs quality silage silage. The from (PFJ-RC) (PFJ-LC) had a higher lactic acid bacteria (LAB) count than that (p < 0.05) were used as additives. Compared with Control both silages, adding PFJ increased LAB, (LA), in vitro digestibility dry matter (IVDMD) 0.05), ...

Silages constitute a major component of the feed ration for dairy cows, being potential source mycotoxins due to possible contamination by filamentous fungi capable producing these toxic compounds. In this study, samples different kinds silages collected from farms located in four regions Spain, were analysed evaluate occurrence aflatoxins (AFs) and Fusarium mycotoxins. Lactic acid bacteria fun...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect harvesting alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) and tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort] after frost ensiling mixtures these forages on silage fermentation characteristics, intake, digestibility ruminal by ewe lambs. Forages were harvested in October 2017, wilted, blended as either alone, 67% + 33% novel endophyte-infected fesc...

This study investigated the effects of two bacteriocin-producing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains on fermentation, bacterial communities, and their functions alfalfa silage with dry matter (DM) contents 355 (moderate DM) 428 (high g/kg fresh weight. Before ensiling, was treated (1) distilled water (control), (2) commercial strain L. MTD/1, (3) ATCC14917, (4) LP1-4, ensiled for 3 d, 7 14 60...

Forages comprise 35% to 70% of the dry matter (DM) in diets for lactating dairy cows. Variation in forage quality can impact DM intake, diet energy density, dietary grain and protein supplementation amounts, feed costs, lactation performance, and cow health. Forage quality is highly variable among and within forage types (NRC, 2001). Forage species, variety or hybrid, stage of maturity at harve...
