Silage review: Foodborne pathogens in silage and their mitigation by silage additives [PDF]
Silage is one of the main ingredients in dairy cattle diets and it is an important source of nutrients, particularly energy and digestible fiber. Unlike properly made and managed silage, poorly made or contaminated silage can also be a source of pathogenic bacteria that may decrease dairy cow performance, reduce the safety and quality dairy products ...

Effect of wilting, silage additive, PEG treatment and tannin content on the distribution of N between different fractions after ensiling of three different sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) varieties [PDF]
Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) is a tanniniferous, leguminous plant that has potentially beneficial effects on protein utilization in ruminants. Since ensiling causes protein breakdown and elevated levels of buffer soluble N (BSN), we studied the ...

Formaldehyde and Formic Acid as a Silage Additive
First growth direct-cut grass-legume forage from a common source was ensiled without treatment or with .12% formaldehyde plus .14% formic acid. The two silages were fed ad libitum as the sole ration for 74 days to 30 dairy heifers paired by body weight ...

Common bean residue as additive in sugarcane silage
The sugarcane has a high content of soluble carbohydrates, thereby resulting in increased production of ethanol during its fermentation. Thus, it is necessary to use an additive that reduces the losses in the nutritional value of the forage during the ...
