ince the mechanical picker-sheller has come into widespread use for harvesting field corn, farmers generally are confronted with the problem of safe storage of highmoisture shelled corn. The moisture content of field-shelled corn is often too high for direct binning, and storing such grain in regular farm bins without first lowering the moisture level is almost certain to result in spoilage. Mo...

This study aimed to gain insights into the bacterial and fungal microbiota associated with acetic acid fermentation of tropical grass silage. Direct-cut (DC, 170 g dry matter [DM]/kg) wilted (WT, 323 DM/kg) guinea were stored in a laboratory silo at moderate (25 °C) high (40 temperatures. Bacterial assessed 3 days, 1 month, 2 months after ensiling. Lactic was primary product during initial ensi...

Improving the productive performance of agricultural residue silage has practical relevance to sustaining livestock production. Sweet corn stover (SCS) and cassava pulp (CSVP) are widespread in tropics as low-cost feed resources. To efficiently prepare SCS CSVP silage, impact adding Acremonium cellulase (AC), Lactobacillus casei strain TH14 inoculant (TH14), their combination (AC+TH14) on ensil...

Cyanide is a strong toxin in many tropical forage plants that can negatively affect ruminants. The aim of this study to determine the cyanide removal efficiency, silage quality, and vitro rumen fermentation fresh cassava roots ensiled without an additive (control) with Acremonium cellulase (AC), two cyanide-utilizing bacterial inoculants (Enterococcus feacium KKU-BF7 (BF7) E. gallinarum KKU-BC1...

Winter cereal silages can suffer from an inadequate fermentative path which lead to aerobic instability. We evaluate the pre-ensiled conditions influencing final quality and its stability. studied use of hetero/homofermentative inoculants on two early-harvest wheat samples (312 348 g/kg dry matter—DM levels) undergoing three ensiling delays. The profiles were evaluated during first ten d ensili...

The rapid growth of cover crop planting area in the U.S. helps with erosion control, soil health, control greenhouse gases, and also provides abundant biomass for production bioenergy bioproducts. Given crops’ compositional heterogeneity variability, a tolerate platform technology such as anaerobic digestion (AD) is preferred but has not been widely used biorefining. This study evaluated biogas...

The study presents the results of a 3-year field trial aimed at assessing yield and quality raw material for ensiling in cultivation three maize varieties differing their agronomic genetic profile, conditioned by selection nitrogen fertilizer. Maize cultivar ES Metronom showed significant advantage over other cultivars when fertilized with UltraGrain stabile, or alternatively Super N-46. applic...

Agriculturally grown plants are potentially contaminated with poisonous weeds. Many potentially toxic plants are found in pastures and crops. Consequently, forage crops at harvest or when directly grazed may contain toxic amounts of poisonous plants. Unfortunately, efficient prevention of contamination with certain poisonous plants is not always feasible or practical, and thus, contaminated fee...
