Current strategies to increase nutritive value of corn silage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction High quality whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) contributes greatly to supplying the energy, starch and forage NDF needs of high-producing dairy cows, reducing purchased feed costs from expensive grain and byproduct supplements, and generating milk revenues for dairy producers throughout the world. The purpose of this paper is to review selected recent developments and strategies that may influence the nutritive of WPCS.

Effects of homo-fermentative bacterial inoculants on fermentation characteristics and nutritive value of low dry matter corn silage
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of inoculation of homo-fermentative lactic acid bacteria(LAB) on ensiling characteristics and nutritive value of low dry matter corn silage (LDMCS). Corn foragewas harvested at milk stage (22.8 ± 0.9% DM), chopped at theoretical length of cut (TLC) 2.5 cm, and stored in eighteen 3.8 L mini silos for each treatment. The following treatments were u...
متن کاملScientific Aspects of Silage Making
Silage is a common way of storing and feeding forage in the United States. There are 4 phases (aerobic, anaerobic, stable, and feedout) that silage undergoes. The most critical phases to manage to minimize nutritive losses are when the silage is going from an aerobic to an anaerobic environment and at feedout. The first important step in achieving silage of high nutritive value is to harvest at...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum on chemical compositionand nutritive value of whole-plant corn (WPC) ensiled at different stages of maturity. Based on local routinepractice, WPC was harvested at three stages of maturity as follows: (1) two weeks before routine harvestingtime; (2), one week before routine harvesting time and (3), routine harvesting ...
متن کاملBacterial Inoculant Effects on Corn Silage Fermentation and Nutrient Composition
The survival and effect of three new probiotic inoculants (Lactobacillus plantarum CCM 4000, L. fermentum LF2, and Enterococcus faecium CCM 4231) on the nutritive value and fermentation parameters of corn silage was studied under laboratory conditions. Whole corn plants (288.3 g/kg DM) were cut and ensiled at 21°C for 105 days. The inoculants were applied at a concentration of 1.0×10 cfu/ml. Un...
