Corn Silage as a Total Diet with by-Products of the Babassu Agroindustry in the Feed of Confined Ruminants

This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of total ration silage (TRS) containing two babassu by-products replace corn. The silages were formulated meet requirements sheep for an average daily gain 200 g/day. A completely randomized experimental design was used with four treatments and five replications. consisted CS: Corn (Control); TRSS: corn soybean meal; TRSF: Total mesocarp flour; TRSC: feed cake. had a significant difference (p < 0.05) all variates. There 0.001) gas (LG, p effluent losses (LE, 0.001), dry matter recovery (DMR, buffer capacity (BC, lactic acid (LA, butyric (BA, acid/fermentation products (LA:FP, ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N, 0.001). can ground by up 50% in improve fermentation profile nutritional value silage, meeting finishing sheep.
