Effects of fermentation products of silage on its intake by cattle [PDF]
, 1992 The end-products of silage fermentation have been implicated as factors limiting its intake by ruminant animals, although the contribution of individual chemical components is not clearly understood. A series of experiments were conducted to investigate

Commercial silage additive trials [PDF]
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 1981 Most Kansas grown crops can be harvested, stored, and fed as silage. A good silage fermentation should produce a well-preserved, palatable feed with minimum nutrient loss, but making a good silage requires good management.

A Novel Bacterial Silage Additive Effective Against Clostridial Fermentation [PDF]
, 2023 Silage quality is determined by factors including the content of butyric acid and ammonium-N. These parameters have to be restricted especially in lightly wilted silages due to a higher risk of clostridia contamination.

Nitrogen metabolism and milk production in dairy cows fed semi-restricted amounts of ryegrass-legume silage with birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) or white clover (Trifolium repens L.) [PDF]
, 2012 In change-over trials, mid-lactation dairy cows were fed concentrate-supplemented, isonitrogenous and isofibrous perennial ryegrasslegume silage diets that satisfied energy requirements but were suboptimal with respect to metabolizable protein supply ...

Effects of Species, Maturity and Additive on the Feed Quality of Whole Crop Cereal Silage [PDF]
, 2023 Chemical composition of whole crop cereals differ among species and maturity stages. These chemical differences create variations in silage quality (Bergen et al., 1991).

Additive-treated corn silage for growing cattle [PDF]
, 1986 The response of corn silage to the additive, Silo-Best Soluble®, was not consistent for the farm silo criteria measured. Ensiling temperatures and chemical compositions were similar for control and treated silages, except for ethanol, which was lower ...

Factors influencing the conservation characteristics of baled and precision-chop grass silages [PDF]
, 2011 peer-reviewedThe composition of baled silage on Irish farms frequently differs from that of comparable precision-chop silage. This paper concerns a field-scale study designed to investigate: (a) the effects of number of layers (2, 4, 6 or 8) of ...

Silage additive update: 1985 [PDF]
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 1985 Silage additives are receiving fairly widespread acceptance in the U.S. as management tools that are important for silage-making. Many products, which are added to the crop at the time of harvest or ensiling, are available commercially in Kansas. Some
