In this study, the effect of mixed silage on chemical composition, ensilability, in vitro cellulase digestibility and some their plant secondary metabolites (PSM) were assessed. The lab-scale mixes made triplicate from sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) stalk Canavalia ensiformis or Mucuna pruriens beans (Santa Clara, Cuba). Sugarcane stalks at a ratio 40:60 (on DM basis), respectively, combination wit...

Re-ensiling has increased worldwide due to the increase in marketing of silage between farms. However, litlle is known about aerobic deterioration and microbial inoculants effect this process. The aim study was determine re-ensiling inoculant use effects on maize quality. Experimental treatments included exposed air for zero or 18 h, with without containing a mixture Lactobacillus plantarum Pro...

An overview was made of dry matter (DM) and quality losses that occur during the ensiling process. The aim to review current knowledge on course fermentation pathways in various raw materials loss DM accompanying this This discusses main groups microorganisms involved process, patterns, resulting losses. possibility reducing process practice is presented. paper concludes with future perspective...

The effects of a microbial inoculant (containing propionic and lactic acid bacteria) and formic acid onchemical composition, ruminal degradability of dry matter (DM) and nutrient digestibility of corn silage wereexamined. Whole-plant corn was ensiled for 60 days in plastic polyethylene bags, and three treatments werecompared, 1: control (no additive), 2: Propionibacterium acidipropionici plus L...

Sustainably utilizing natural resources would provide sustainable livelihoods for agrarian communities in developing countries. Using alternative and more efficient methods to utilize will probably serve achieve this goal. Ensiling grass the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey is assumed an roughage fodder source animal husbandry sector which has faced dramatic declines last decades. This study ...
