Three experiments were conducted to determine the maximal amount of concentrate and forage that could be replaced with a new wet corn milling product. The corn milling product contained 23.1% crude protein, 9.9% ruminally undegradable protein, 13.7% acid detergent fiber, 40.3% neutral detergent fiber, and 2.6% ether extract (% of dry matter; DM). In experiment 1, 16 Holstein cows were assigned ...

Biodegradation of the pesticides is considered as one of the safest and cheapest ways. The aim of the present study was to reveal if the inoculated Lactic acid bacteria widely used in silage could provide beneficial safety to guarantee dairy feedstuffs and fresh milk. Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) degradation in whole corn silage was investigated. Two OPPs, chlorpyrifos and phorate, were a...

The two greatest silage problems are shrinkage (dry matter losses) and heating (aerobic spoilage). Therefore, one of the main aims of silage making is to reduce losses of dry matter during the preservation process. Dry matter losses occur during the three main stages of silage preservation namely the aerobic respiration stage after cutting, the anaerobic fermentation stage after sealing, and th...

Abstract We hypothesized that diets with snaplage would increase the expression of lipogenic genes, resulting in higher marbling fat content, compared to a diet whole-plant silage and reconstituted corn silage. Therefore, objective this study was analyze chemical composition, as well genes involved lipid metabolism liver gluconeogenesis Nellore bulls fed snaplage. Seventy-two (24 months, initia...

Eight ruminally cannulated multiparous Holstein cows that were part of a larger production trial were used to study the effects of varying dietary ratios of alfalfa silage (AS) to corn silage (CS) on omasal flow of nutrients and microbial protein. Cows were blocked by DIM and randomly assigned to 2 replicated 4 x 4 Latin squares (28-d periods). Diets fed contained (dry matter basis): A) 51% AS,...

this study investigated the effect of rumex sc (commercial product which includes of saccharomyces cervisiae, saponin and essential oils) on rumen fermentation, blood glucose, urea, milk yield and milk composition. animals were offered a basal diet containing alfalfa hay (15.5%), corn silage (24%), beet pulp (7%) and concentrate (53.5%). additionally, rumex sc was included in the experimental d...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the fermentative characteristics, chemical composition, and in vitro digestibility a total mixed ration silage containing two babassu by-products, starchy flour cake. treatments were distributed completely randomised design four five replications. consisted corn silage, based on standard soybean diet, with flour, No significant difference observed pH ...
