Fermentation Quality and Additives: A Case of Rice Straw Silage [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2016 Rice cultivation generates large amount of crop residues of which only 20% are utilized for industrial and domestic purposes. In most developing countries especially southeast Asia, rice straw is used as part of feeding ingredients for the ruminants. However, due to its low protein content and high level of lignin and silica, there is limitation to its

Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of Lactobacillus plantarum (KKP/593/p and KKP/788/p) and Lactobacillus buchneri (KKP/907/p) as a silage additive for cattle and sheep [PDF]
EFSA Journal, 2014 The mixture of two strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and one strain of Lactobacillus buchneri is intended to be used as a technological additive to improve the ensiling process at the minimum proposed dose of 1.0 × 107 colony-forming units (CFU)/kg ...

Control of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in contaminated alfalfa silage: Effects of silage additives [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2016 This study was conducted to examine if adding microbial inoculants or propionic acid to alfalfa silages contaminated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 would inhibit the growth of the pathogen during or after ensiling. Alfalfa forage was harvested at the early bloom stage, wilted to a dry matter concentration of 54%, chopped to 19-mm lengths, and ensiled ...

Effects of Different Silage Additives on Silage Quality of Gramineae Forage Mixtures
, 2022 There should be no tables, figures or bibliography. In this study, silage quality properties, in vitro organic matter digestion (IVOMS), metabolic energy (ME) and in vitro methane gas values were investigated when different silage additives were added to barley, triticale and ryegrass forage crop mixtures at different mixing ratios grown as winter ...
