Silage review: Recent advances and future uses of silage additives [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2018 Additives have been available for enhancing silage preservation for decades. This review covers research studies published since 2000 that have investigated the efficacy of silage additives. The review has been divided into 6 categories of additives: homofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB), obligate heterofermentative LAB, combination inoculants ...

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of potassium sorbate as a silage additive for all animals except dogs and cats [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2013 Potassium sorbate is intended to be used as a technological additive to improve the ensiling process in the range of 90 to 300 mg/kg fresh material. The application of potassium sorbate in the preparation of silage up to the maximum proposed dose of 300 ...

Effect of the different level of a dry feed additive on the lupin silage quality
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2005 In the experiment, the effect of additive on the fermentation quality of lupine was examined, by comparing with the untreated control. Fresh green Lupine (Lupines lupine), variete Juno, dry matter content 187.15 g/kg at full waxy stage of maturiy were ...

Open Journal of Applied Sciences, 2014 Silage making process can be explained very simply, it is actually very complex and dependant on many factors, such as the natural microbial population, harvesting conditions and the sugar content of the forage. Consequently, silage quality can be very variable and the only way to effectively control the fermentation process is to use an additive ...
