This study examined the effects of chopping or + blender maceration red clover lucerne on pre-fermented juice (PFJ) and determined PFJs quality silage silage. The from (PFJ-RC) (PFJ-LC) had a higher lactic acid bacteria (LAB) count than that (p < 0.05) were used as additives. Compared with Control both silages, adding PFJ increased LAB, (LA), in vitro digestibility dry matter (IVDMD) 0.05), ...

this experiment was conducted to assess the effects of daytime cutting management (p.m. vs. a.m. cut), ensiling duration and adding microbial inoculants on chemical composition of alfalfa silage. for this, second growth alfalfa harvested at the early bud stage of development after a sunny day at sundown (about 1900 h; pm alfalfa), whereas the second half was cut next day at sunup (about 0800 h;...
