Whey as an Additive in Maize Silage

Food Science and Technology
This study evaluates the effect of including whey at different inclusion rates on the chemical composition and mineral profile of maize silage. Five whey inclusion rates (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% w/w of fresh forage) were tested in a completely randomized design with five replicates. After 80 days of ensiling, samples were analyzed for moisture, dry

Improving aerobic stability and biogas production of maize silage using silage additives

Bioresource Technology, 2015
The effects of air stress during storage, exposure to air at feed-out, and treatment with silage additives to enhance aerobic stability on methane production from maize silage were investigated at laboratory scale. Up to 17% of the methane potential of maize without additive was lost during seven days exposure to air on feed-out.

Use of natural ensiling additives with tropical grasses: Physicochemical properties, in vitro fermentation characteristics, and microbial community diversity indices

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Improving feed quality, availability, and cost‐effectiveness is a big challenge for livestock to ensure animal‐derived food for nutritional security. The aim of the study was to find out how some natural ensiling additives affect physicochemical properties, proximate composition, microbial population, in vitro fermentation ...

Effects of partial replacement of grass silage with maize silage on feed intake, enteric methane emissions and milk production in dairy cows in northern conditions

Agricultural and Food Science
We conducted three experiments to investigate the effects of partial replacement of grass silage with maize silage (25% or 50% of the dry matter [DM]) on feed intake, milk production, diet digestibility, and methane (CH4) emissions in dairy cows.

Maize for silage: I. Conservation of whole maize plant for silage with treatment of preservatives and urea before ensiling

Agricultural and Food Science, 1979
Maize was harvested with a precision chopper and ensiled in five plastic tower silos, 1 500 kg fodder/silo. The silages and the ensiling methods were: 0.5 % urea per fresh weight (A), 1.0 % urea per fresh weight + Viher-acid 4 1/1000 kg of silage (B), 0.5 % urea per fresh weight + Viher-acid 4 1/1000 kg of silage (C).

Sensorial and nutritional qualities of muscles from cross‐bred Salers heifers raised on mid‐mountain pasture

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the effects of crossbreeding, finishing system, and muscle type on carcass characteristics, intramuscular fat (IMF), image‐based IMF estimation, fatty acid composition, and meat quality in beef heifers. Charolais × Salers (C × S) and Angus × Salers (A × S) crossbred heifers were finished either on pasture or ...

Effect of maize silage supplementation to grass silage harvested at different maturity stages on ad libitum intake

Mljekarstvo, 2008
The objective of the investigation was to determine ad libitum intake of fresh ration, dry matter (DM) and the organic matter (OM) of grass silage from the primary growth harvested at different maturity stages in interaction with maize silage (33 % and ...
