Nucleic Acids in Grass and Grass Silage

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1988
Little attention has been directed at defining the ‘protein’ fraction of silages. This component is normally estimated by fractionation based on solubility characteristics and under the conditions most commonly used, nucleic acids (ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)) would appear in the protein fraction.

Grass silage

Outlook on Agriculture, 1966
Progress in silage-making in Britain since the war has not been as rapid as many had hoped having regard to the potential cheapness of the material as a feedingstuff. Much poor silage has been made from time to time leading to wastage of valuable nutrients.

The nutritive value of silages

British Journal of Nutrition, 1978
1. Two calorimetric experiments were conducted to study the utilization of energy in sheep given diets of grass silage or grass silage and barley. Three silages were investigated. One was made from first-harvest grass in the spring (S) and the others from regrowth cut either early or late in the autumn (E and L respectively).

ANAEROBIC SPORE‐FORMERS IN GRASS AND GRASS SILAGE

Annals of Applied Biology, 1937
SUMMARYThe number of anaerobic spores in fresh grass appears always to be small but, in silage made from such grass, this group of organisms increases in numbers after the first few days until approximately 1,000,000 or rather more per g. are present, and these high numbers are maintained usually for several weeks.

Feeding value of silage: Silages made from freshly cut grass, wilted grass and formic acid treated wilted grass

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1976
AbstractFormic acid (850 g/kg) was added to wilted perennial ryegrass (dry matter = 360 g/kg) at the rate of 3.9 g/kg before ensiling. The feeding value of the resulting silage was compared with those of silages made from the wilted grass and the freshly cut grass, and with the grass itself in metabolism trials with sheep.

Enterobacteria associated with grass and silages

Journal of Applied Bacteriology, 1993
Enterobacteria were isolated from grass and silages and identified by the API 20E system. The effects of various ensiling treatments on their numbers and types were determined. The enterobacteria appear to follow a pattern of succession.

The chemical composition of grass silage

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1937
A short account is given of the main changes which take place during the ensilage process. Details are given of the methods of analysis used in examining samples of silage for pH, crude-protein, volatile base, amino acid, lactic acid, total volatile acid, acetic acid and butyric acid contents. The results of the examination of 293 samples of silage are

THE ENUMERATION OF LACTOBACILLI ON GRASS AND IN SILAGE

Proceedings of the Society for Applied Bacteriology, 1951
SUMMARY: For the enumeration of lactobacilli on grass and in silage the following medium has shown promise: peptone, meat extract and glucose, 10 g. each; tomato extract, 200 ml.; yeast autolysate, 50 ml.; Tween 80, 0.5 ml.; agar, 15 g., in a final volume of 1 1.

The use of fatty acids as grass silage additives

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1974
AbstractThe effects of a range of fatty acids (C1‐C18) on silage fermentation in laboratory silos have been examined. When acids were applied to ryegrass in equimolar concentrations (50 mM) in the C1‐C6 range, only the C6 acid (hexanoic) had a marked effect in inhibiting lactate production.

Grass silages as feedstuff for horses

2004
The use of a diet based on silages or haylages is becoming increasingly more important in the prevention and control of some pathologies that affect the breathing apparatus of horses. The present knowledge concerning conservation quality and the nutritive value of some of the most commonly used grass silages is studied in depth in this work.
