Effects of pyroligneous acid as silage additive on fermentation quality and bacterial community structure of waste sugarcane tops

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, 2022
This article intends to improve the recycling of waste sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) tops and the value-added utilization of pyroligneous acid. Fresh sugarcane tops can be used by ruminants, but they are prone to dehydration and mildew during storage,

Species-Enriched Grass-Clover Mixtures Can Promote Bumblebee Abundance Compared with Intensively Managed Conventional Pastures

Agronomy, 2022
(1) Land use intensification has led to serious declines in biodiversity, including in forage production systems for dairy cows. Agri-environmental schemes, such as enriching grasslands in floral species, were shown to be an effective tool to promote ...

Improving the quality of Napier grass silage with pyroligneous acid: Fermentation, aerobic stability, and microbial communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The presence of undesirable microorganisms in silage always leads to poor fermentation quality and low aerobic stability. Pyroligneous acid (PA), a by-product of biochar production, is known to have strong antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Conserved forage

, 2021
This chapter focuses on conserving forage as hay or silage. Conserving forage is an essential component of ruminant livestock production systems in most temperate climates, but in subtropical and tropical regions the use of hay and silage is not as widespread.

Effects of Forestry Waste Neolamarckia cadamba Leaf Meal as an Additive on Fermentation Quality, Antioxidant Activity, and Bacterial Community of High-Moisture Stylo Silage

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
N. cadamba leaves, a byproduct of wood production, are always discarded in the field. N. cadamba leaves have strong antibacterial property, which might be recycled to inhibit undesirable bacteria and enhance the fermentation quality of silage.

Beneficial Effects of Tannic Acid on the Quality of Bacterial Communities Present in High-Moisture Mulberry Leaf and Stylo Silage

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Tannic acid (TA), a type of polyphenol, is widely distributed in plants, especially in legumes. Not only does it possess antimicrobial properties, but it also has the ability to bind with proteins.
