Mycotoxin production in different varieties of Dactylis glomerata L. silage in response to biological and chemical additives.

PLoS ONE
Silage has been identified as a source of different microbial toxins, that may impair farm animal health and productivity as human health can also be compromised. In this sense, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of silage additives on the

Effects of Three Different Additives and Two Different Bulk Densities on Maize Silage Characteristics, Temperature Profiles, CO2 and O2–Dynamics in Small Scale Silos during Aerobic Exposure

Applied Sciences, 2017
Silage quality and aerobic stability are sometimes insufficient. If management requirements are not met, or to improve silage quality, additives are often used.

Metabolism of soluble proteins by rumen microorganisms and the influence of condensed tannins on nitrogen solubility and degradation [PDF]

, 2004
The amino acid requirements of ruminants are met by two sources; microbes leaving the rumen and dietary protein escaping fermentation in the rumen. Much ruminant research has therefore focused on improving amino acid supply to the duodenum by increasing ...

Quality evaluation of pearl millet silages using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as silage additive

The Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2015
The present study was conducted to ascertain the quality of pearl millet-sorghum and pearl millet-cowpea fodders (PM-S and PM-C) with their respective silages made with or without S. cerevisiae as silage inoculant in polybags. On opening the bags after 45 days all the silages were free from moulds and had comparable pH.

Silage microbiology and its control through additives [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2010
Ensiling is a method of preserving a moist crop. A moist crop can support the growth of a wide range of microorganisms, most of which will degrade the nutrient value to livestock. However, ensiling generally controls microbial activity by a combination of an anaerobic environment and a natural fermentation of sugars by lactic acid bacteria on the crop.

Additives effect on chemical composition and quality of sisal co-product silage

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2013
Fermentation profile and nutritional value of sisal co-product silage (SC) subjected to seven treatments (additives), were evaluated. The SC was ensiled in natura and added with: soy meal, urea, wheat meal, palm kernel cake, A. sisalana dust, licuri cake

Selenium supplementation by addition of sodium selenate with silage additive

Agricultural and Food Science, 2014
An ensiling experiment was conducted to assess the possibility for increasing the selenium content in grass silage by using a selenium-enriched silage additive, and to determine possible changes in the form of selenium during ensiling. Prewilted and precision-chopped silage was prepared from the second cut of timothy – meadow fescue sward in southern ...

Beef production from feedstuffs conserved using new technologies to reduce negative environmental impacts [PDF]

, 2007
End of project reportMost (ca. 86%) Irish farms make some silage. Besides directly providing feed for livestock, the provision of grass silage within integrated grassland systems makes an important positive contribution to effective grazing management ...

Glycerin as an additive for sugarcane silage

Annals of Microbiology, 2014
The ensiling of sugarcane induces loss of energy by alcoholic fermentation, and the addition of crude glycerin may improve the nutritional value of this forage. The objective of this work was to evaluate sugarcane silage with different concentrations of glycerin and the response of different starter cultures to the changes in microbial diversity ...
