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

Authors

Abstract:

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 and orange pulp silage processed with bacterial additive (3×108 cfu/g), alfalfa silage processed with 5% molasses, and alfalfa silage processed with 5% molasses and bacterial additive 3×108 cfu/g. The alfalfa was harvested at flowering stage and after 24 hours, it was ensiled with orange pulp and Lalsil with a weight ratio of 2100 g of alfalfa and 760 g of orange pulp for 90 days. After opening the silos in order to investigate the dry matter, crude protein and organic matter degradability of silage at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours, two adult fistulated male sheep be used. Data were analyzed in a completely randomized design with four replications. By adding molasses and bacterial additive to alfalfa, the in situ dry matter disappearance significantly increased (p<0.05). In general, it can be concluded that the bacterial additive, molasses and orange pulp alone and in combination produced a better fermented silage and the use of a carbohydrate source such as molasses or orange pulp as useful resources for bacterial populations and bacterial additives in the preparation of high quality silage from alfalfa, due to the deficiencies of this valuable plant, is essential.

Effect of Dry Matter Content and Inoculation on Ruminal Protein Degradability in Alfalfa Silages

The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of different dry matter content and addition of silage inoculant on the ruminal protein degradability. Alfalfa herbage was collected from two cuts and the fresh matter was sampled two times during each cut (with different dry matter content). During the preparation of experimental micro-silages, the chopped forage was treated with a microbia...

Dry Matter and Crude Protein Degradability ofMopane Worm (Imbrasia belina) in Rumen of Steers

Three cannulated Tswana steers were used to investigate the rumen degradability of mopane worm (Imbrasia belina) by measuring the amount of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearing at incubation periods up to 72 h. The effective degradability (ED) of DM and CP in the rumen was calculated at outflow rates of 0.03 / h (ED0.03) and 0.05 / h(ED0.05). Rumen degradable CP (RDP) was estimat...

Effect of Adding Whey and L. Buchneri to Alfalfa Silage on In Vitro Gas Production and Degradability

Ensiling alfalfa is difficult due to some restrictions such as low water soluble carbohydrate concentration and high buffering capacity. This study was conducted to document the effects of supplementation of alfalfa silage with fresh whey and bacterial additive on gas production, dry matter, organic matter and crude protein degradabilities by in vitro method. Experimental treatments included th...
