Improvement of the quality of maize grain silage by a synergistic action of selected lactobacilli strains
نویسندگان
چکیده
As silage is one of the most important feed sources for dairy cattle it is recommended for farmers to preserve silage by fermentation. Interaction of the five strains of Lactobacillus genera [Lactobacillus buchneri A KKP 2047 p (LB), L. reuteri M KKP 2048 p (LR), L. plantarum K KKP 593 p (LPk), L. plantarum S KKP 2021 p (LPs), L. fermentum N KKP 2020 p (LF)] has been shown aiming to increase the safety of corn grain silage fodder. Experiments were conducted in polyethylene microsilos for 48 days and on production scale in an experimental farm for 3 years. Synergistic activity of the studied bacterial strains in terms of reducing aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A levels was clear in these experimental variants wherein to the inoculants of the LB + LR strains subsequent bacterial strains LPk, LPs and LF were sequentially added. Silages inoculated with five bacterial strains were free from pathogens and showed the lowest yeast and mold count values among all experimental variants. As a result of employing the preparation starter culture for ensiling corn grain there were obtained silages characterized by high stability, microbiological and chemical purity, thus safe in feeding livestock.

Effects of field conditions, low nitrogen and drought on genetic parameters of protein and tryptophan concentrations in grain of quality protein maize
Quality Protein Maize (QPM) has about twice the amount of lysine and tryptophan of normal maize and hence represents an important tool of correcting its deficiency in protein quality. However, the effects of low nitrogen and drought on genetic parameters such as gene action and combining abilities of protein quantity and quality of QPM are not known. To study how these genetic parameters are af...

A partial diallel design was used among 20 maize inbred lines to form 110 F1 hybrids to generate information on the values of these lines for developing insect resistant maize varieties during the short rains season of 2006. The hybrids were evaluated for resistance to the C. partellus and B. fusca, and for agronomic performance over two seasons during long and short rains of 2007 at a mid-alti...

Selection based on proper selection indices can be one of the most effective methods for indirect selection of yield and yield components, simultaneously. In order to determination of selection index for improvement of maize yield, 60 single cross maize hybrids were planted in two separate experiments (drought stress and normal conditions) based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with t...
