Mixed silages of sugarcane and forage peanut treated with Lactobacillus buchneri

Abstract There is evidence for the beneficial effects of forage peanut on nutritive value and fermentation profile silages; however, its sugarcane silage have not been determined. The objective study was to evaluate chemical composition, profile, microbial dry matter recovery (DMR) containing various amounts (Arachis pintoi cv. Belmonte) (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% a fresh basis), treated or untreated with Lactobacillus buchneri. A completely randomized 4 × 2 factorial design used three replications. interaction between levels inoculant influenced concentrations matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber acid fiber, organic acids ethanol, populations lactic bacteria yeast, gas effluent losses, DMR. Forage had hemicellulose, insoluble nitrogen, pH, ammonia nitrogen. Increasing proportions increased protein content decreased in silage, while also reducing production ethanol effluent. We recommend inclusion 40%–75% ensilage improve composition profile. Furthermore, inoculation L. buchneri associated increases concentration antifungal decreases yeast population production.
