THE INVESTIGATION of THE EFFECT of SILAGE ADDITIVES on SILAGE MICROBIOLOGY

, 2023
Silage has become one of the basic components of ruminant rations in many countries. Silage making, like many other fermented products, is a green feed storage method that has been used in animal production for many years. It has been reported that the largest share in the fermentation process applied worldwide is silage making (Jatkauskas and ...

Amines in Silage [PDF]

Nature, 1961
IN 1908 Russell, referred to by Watson1, reported that silage contained “in addition to ammonia, amines such as pentamethylene diamine, betaine, adenine, and other unidentified purin bodies”. Barnett, in his book about silage fermentation2, expressed the opinion that putrescine and cadaverine would be present in very poor silages as products of ...

Silage review: Mycotoxins in silage: Occurrence, effects, prevention, and mitigation [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2018
Ensiled forage, particularly corn silage, is an important component of dairy cow diets worldwide. Forages can be contaminated with several mycotoxins in the field pre-harvest, during storage, or after ensiling during feed-out. Exposure to dietary mycotoxins adversely affects the performance and health of livestock and can compromise human health ...

Climate‐Smart Dairy Practices: The Role of Practice Clusters in Enhancing the Performance of Dairy Farms in Kenya

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate variability is affecting the productivity, profitability, and resilience of smallholder dairy producers in developing countries. The adoption of climate‐smart (CS) dairy practices has been promoted to mitigate these negative effects. However, while interest in dairy CS practices is growing, empirical evidence on their adoption patterns

Dynamics of fermentation quality, bacterial communities, and fermentation weight loss during fermentation of sweet sorghum silage

BMC Microbiology
Background Sweet sorghum is used mainly as an energy crop and feed crop in arid and semiarid regions, and ensiling is a satisfactory method for preserving high-quality sweet sorghum.

Effects of Replacing Alfalfa Hay With Barley Silage in High‐Concentrate Diets: Chewing Behavior, Ruminal Fermentation, Total‐Tract Digestibility, and Milk Production of Dairy Cows in Mid‐Lactation Phase

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
We assessed lactation productivity in dairy cows when replacing alfalfa hay with barley silage. A 50% replacement increased feed intake, whereas total replacement improved nutrient conversion to milk. Barley silage can effectively replace alfalfa hay, enhancing sustainability and resilience in dairy production amid forage quality constraints and market

Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased

Evaluation of enzymatic pretreatment strategies to enhance anaerobic digestion of tomato waste

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Tomato residues are a form of solid waste that can be converted into methane through anaerobic digestion (AD). However, methane production is often limited due to incomplete hydrolysis caused by the high lignocellulosic content of tomato waste.

Advances in second‐generation biofuel production from rice straw and barley straw

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This review critically examines recent advances in the use of rice straw and barley straw as lignocellulosic feedstocks for second‐generation biofuel production. A comprehensive analysis of their chemical composition, including cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and ash content, reveals how these intrinsic properties affect the efficiency of ...
