Additives for silage preparation were tested on their effect on the composition of whole crop maize silage and their potential to improve methane production from energy crops in anaerobic digestion plants. Treatments included ensiling without additives, inoculation with silage starters containing homofermentative lactic acid bacteria or a mixture of homoand heterofermentative lactic acid bacter...

I . The purpose of the experiments was to determine, certain properties of the metabolism of nitrogen compounds and carbohydrates in the rumen and tissues of growing bulls which were given either a diet containing sugar-beet silage, a urea-mineral preparation and hay or a control diet with maize silage, ground barley and hay. Daily rations were given in two equal portions twice daily at 0 7 m h...

BACKGROUND Both genetic background and finishing system can alter fat deposition, thus indicating their influence on adipogenic and lipogenic factors. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying fat deposition and fatty acid composition in beef cattle are not fully understood. This study aimed to assess the effect of breed and dietary silage level on the expression patterns of key genes contro...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of yeast culture (Saccharomyces cerevisiae SC 47) addition in the diet of dairy cows on their rumen fermentation and milk production. Animals received a diet TMR based on good maize silage with a higher dry matter content (14 kg), 14 kg of lucerne-grass haylage, 5 kg of crushed ears of maize, 5 kg of beet pulp silage, 3 kg of crimped wheat, 2 kg...

Maize is considered an unsurpassed silage crop, so breeding in this direction of great relevance. The study was carried out at the FSBSI «Agricultural Research Center «Donskoy» 2019–2021. purpose to productivity and nutritional value new hybrid combinations, identify dependencies optimize process. In order develop hybrids, there applied method interline hybridization using heterosis first gener...
