The Effects Of Some Silage Additives In Sorghum Silage On The Silage Quality And Ruminal Degradabilities Of Nutrients Ii- Ruminal Degradabilities Of Nutrients, N. Tuğba Bi̇ngöl, Erol Baytok Jan 2003

The Effects Of Some Silage Additives In Sorghum Silage On The Silage Quality And Ruminal Degradabilities Of Nutrients Ii- Ruminal Degradabilities Of Nutrients, N. Tuğba Bi̇ngöl, Erol Baytok

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The aim of the study was to determine the effects of different silage additives on the ruminal degradability of sorghum silage. Different sorghum silages were prepared from sorghum harvested at the milk or dough stage (287.40 and 304.80 g/kg DM) with or without SIL-ALL (enzyme-inoculant complex; EI), molasses (M), formic acid (FA), M + FA, EI + FA, EI + M and EI + FA + M additives in laboratory silos (glass jar 1 kg in volume) and incubated for two months. After incubation, the silos were opened and dry matter and ADF analyses were done. The dry matter and …

The Effects Of Formic Acid Or Formic Acid Plus Molasses Additives On The Fermentation Quality And Dm And Adf Degradabilities Of Grass Silage, Erol Baytok, Habi̇p Muruz Jan 2003

The Effects Of Formic Acid Or Formic Acid Plus Molasses Additives On The Fermentation Quality And Dm And Adf Degradabilities Of Grass Silage, Erol Baytok, Habi̇p Muruz

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of formic acid and formic acid plus molasses additives on the grass silage fermentation characteristics and degradability of dry matter (DM) and acid-detergent fibre (ADF). Grasses were cut in early (experiment I), middle (experiment II) and late maturity (experiment III). The additive treatments in experiments I, II and III were: 1) Untreated; 2) 0.5% Formic acid (FA); 3) FA+2% molasses; 4) FA+4% molasses; and 5) FA+6% molasses. The silages were ensiled in jar silos (1 L) and DM and ADF degradability were determined by using the nylon bag technique in the …
