Effects of Cottonseed Cake and Weissella cibaria on Fractionation of Carbohydrates and Proteins and In Situ Degradability in Sorghum Silages

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study aimed to estimate the fractionation of carbohydrates and crude protein (CP), and the ruminal degradation rates of dry matter (DM), CP, and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) in sorghum silages. Silages were prepared with or without the addition of 10% cottonseed cake (CSC, natural matter basis) and Weissella cibaria (W. cibaria).
