Grass and Forage Science, 1964
A small‐scale conservation experiment is described in which molasses, zinc bacitracin and dried sugar‐cane juice were compared as additives to grass silage. The results indicate that all these additives improved the quality of the silage, but do not suggest any significant decrease in dry‐matter loss due to the use of preservatives.

Formic acid as a silage additive
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1973SummaryPure swards of cocksfoot and perennial ryegrass cut on three occasions and of lucerne cut on two occasions were ensiled in test-tube silos after three treatments: (i) unwilted without additive, (ii) unwilted after the addition of formic acid at 0-23 % of fresh weight, and (iii) wilted to a water content of about 70 %, with no additive.

Characterisation of peptides in silages made from perennial ryegrass with different silage additives
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2000The effects of applying either formic acid (5.4 g kg-1 ), a mixture of formic acid (2.7 g kg-1 ) and formaldehyde (1.5 g kg-1 , 81 g kg-1 herbage crude protein) or two concentrations of a cysteine peptidase inhibitor, cystamine (5 or 50 g kg-1 ), to perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) on the nitrogen (N) distribution of the resulting silages were ...

The use of fatty acids as grass silage additives
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1974AbstractThe effects of a range of fatty acids (C1‐C18) on silage fermentation in laboratory silos have been examined. When acids were applied to ryegrass in equimolar concentrations (50 mM) in the C1‐C6 range, only the C6 acid (hexanoic) had a marked effect in inhibiting lactate production.

The effect of silage additive and concentrate supplementation on lamb silage intake and performance
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1992Silage has substituted hay as the major conserved herbage in Galicia due to the well-known nutritional benefits of the former. However, the heavy spring rainfall has caused widespread problems in silage conservation quality. Consequently, silage additives are used increasingly and the benefits of formic acid under difficult ensiling conditions have ...

Silage and milk production: a comparison between additives for silage of high digestibility
Grass and Forage Science, 1977AbstractThree grass silages made in early June from S23 perennial ryegrass were compared in a 16‐week feeding experiment with twelve Ayrshire cows. The silages were made from uniform herbage which received either formic acid (‘Add‐F’) at the rate of 201 t−1, or a formalin‐sulphuric acid mixture (‘Syiade’) at rates of 2.0 and 4.4 1 t−1. The silages were

Effect of enzyme additives on kikuyu silage quality
Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1991Chopped kikuyu grass of low digestibility and low in non-structural carbohydrates was treated with three commercial enzyme preparations, namely, Celluclast, SP 249 and Silo Guard II. These enzymes were added to the kikuyu prior to ensiling in laboratory silos with a capacity of 1 kg.

Enzymes Usage as Silage Additives
2007Recently, some additives having various properties are developed for the better silage fermentation. Of those additives the enzymes, when are used as additives of silages, improve the silage fermentation and decrease the plant celi wall components like hemicellulose and cellulose releasing the additional substrate source for the lactic acid bacteria ...
