Improve Quality of Alfalfa Silage Ensiled with Orange Pulp and Bacterial Additive

Effect of Supplementation of Alfalfa Silage with Lactobacillus Buchneri Additive, Orange Pulp and Molasses on Dry Matter, Crude Protein and Organic Matter Degradability by Nylon Bags

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of supplementation of alfalfa silage with Lactobacillus buchneri additive, orange pulp and molasses on dry matter, crude protein and organic matter degradability by nylon bags. The treatments included: alfalfa silage (control treatment), alfalfa silage processed with bacterial additive, 3×108 cfu/g, alfalfa and orange pulp silage, alfalfa...

the effects of bacterial additives on feed quality and ruminal degradation of alfalfa silage

the objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of bacterial additives on chemical characteristics and ruminal degradability of alfalfa silage. in this experiment the treatments consisted of: 1-untreated alfalfa silage (control), 2-treated with ecosyl (ec), 3- lacticil maize (lm), and 4- a combination of both additives, ec and lm, at half level of treatments 2 and 3. silos wer...

Synthesis of microbial protein in ruminally cannulated cows fed alfalfa silage, alfalfa hay, or corn silage.

Six ruminally cannulated cows were used in an experiment with a 3 x 3 Latin square design. Three all forage diets-alfalfa silage, alfalfa hay, or corn silage plus 2.2% urea (DM basis)-were fed for ad libitum intake four times daily. The microbial protein marker 15NH3 and the liquid marker Cr-EDTA were infused continuously into the rumen for 72 and 48 h, respectively; the solid marker, Yb-labele...

Enzyme, bacterial inoculant, and formic acid effects on silage composition of orchardgrass and alfalfa.

We evaluated the effects of cellulase (from Trichoderma longibrachiatum) application rates on neutral detergent fiber (NDF) concentration and fermentation products of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) silages harvested with decreasing dry matter (DM) digestibility. Additionally, the impacts of inoculant (Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus cerevisiae), pe...
