Typha is a wild plant with invasive growth that causes environmental problems in different areas worldwide. This study investigated the ensiling potential of typha (Typha latifolia) to be preserved and used for ruminant feeding. Four silage treatments were evaluated: no additives (CON); formic acid (FA; 4 mL/kg); urea molasses (UM; 19 24 g/kg, respectively); acid, urea, (FAUM; all at previous c...

This study was evaluated the effects of different carbohydrate sources on fermentation profiles, chemical compositions, and correlation profiles compositions with water-soluble (WSC) alfalfa (Medicago sativa) silage. Alfalfa harvested at early flowering stage from third cutting in September 2018, wilted to 32% dry matter (DM) chopped into 1–2 cm pieces. Treatments included addition pectin (PEC)...

Maize silage suffers from several factors that affect the final quality and, to some extent, pre-ensiled conditions can be potentially tuned during harvesting. After assessing new indices for under lab-scale conditions, trials have been conducted find associations between fresh maize characteristics and features. Among first, we included field input levels, FAO class, maturity stage, use of bac...

Abstract Background Filling silos generally takes much time in practice, which may negatively affect silage fermentation and feed intake. To clarify the effects of inoculating time, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains filling on microbes stylo ( Stylosanthes guianensis ) its silage, ensiling was quickly performed (quickly filling, QF) with or without LAB Lactobacillus plantarum SXC48, Lb. CCZZ1 ...

Abstract Background Due to its hollow stem, ensiling triticale presents a challenge as it may cause an overabundance of oxygen during the fermentation process. This study investigated effects Bacillus coagulans (BC) and Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) on characteristics, microbial community, aerobic stability ensiled triticale. Fresh was wilted at dry matter content 350 g/kg. The experiment arrang...

Ensiling as one of the best methods for utilization of tuna wastes was investigated. docosahexaenoic acid [DHA C22:6(n-3)]- rich products were obtained from the wastes (viscera and dark meat) of four tuna species, namely longtail, skipjack, yellowfin and kawakawa by a procedure involving ensiling in organic acids followed by neutralization. Identification of fatty acids in the samples was perfo...

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) leaves contain high levels of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and o-diphenol substrates. Wounding of leaves during harvest and ensiling results in browning of leaf tissues from activity of PPO on the o-diphenols. In association with browning, leaf proteins remain undegraded during ensiling, presumably due to PPO-generated o-quinone inhibition of leaf proteases....
