Changes in Biochemical and Microbiological Quality of Silage Produced with the Use of Innovative Films

A common method of silage production in Europe is based on the use cylindrical bales wrapped with polyethylene films. In this study, several modifications composition these films were tested for their impact microorganisms involved ensiling process. Different additives, including nanosilver particles and microcellulose, analyzed upon first stage experiment. second stage, usability recycled as a film component was assessed. The forage value after determined during storage, analyses content crude fiber, nitrate nitrogen, total protein, sugars, acids (lactic, acetic, butyric propionic), pH dry matter. Microbial quality evaluated by growth lactic acid bacteria (LAB) compared to number undesirable aerobic bacteria, yeasts molds. Film properties also characterized. No statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences shown formulae standard commercial experimental an elevated slightly higher observed than control sample. addition, PE supplemented nanosilver, LAB detected inner surface ensiled material.
