Replacing grass silage with maize silage results in a fundamental change in the ratio of structural to non-structural carbohydrates with commensurate changes in rumen fermentation patterns and nutrient utilisation. This study investigated the effects of feeding four forage mixtures, namely grass silage (G); 67 g/100 g grass silage + 33 g/100 g maize silage (GGM); 67 g/100 g maize silage + 33/10...

This experiment investigated the effects of different additives on fermentation quality, in vitro digestibility, and aerobic stability amaranth wheat bran (AWB) mixed silage. In this experiment, a two-factor (moisture content × additive) completely randomized experimental design was used, with as raw silage material, moisture adjusted to 60%, 65%, 70% using bran. At each condition, treatments i...

Abstract The goal of the present study was to evaluate effects enzymes (cellulase combined with galactosidase) and their combination Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) on bacterial diversity in alfalfa silages using high-throughput sequencing. Alfalfa forages were treated or without cellulase + ɑ-galactosidase (CEGA), LP (CELP), (GALP). After 56 days ensiling, all exhibited improved fermentation qual...

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...

In this study, total fatty acid composition and volatile fatty acid of silage species in Turkey was determined by using Gas Chromatography (Shimadzu 15-A). Total lipids were extracted from the corn silage, alfalfa silage and figüre silage samples by the method of Folch et al. Silage species were a total of 15 different fatty acids. These fatty acids between C12 to C24 have changed. Unsaturated ...
