Perdas na ensilagem de capim-elefante aditivado com farelo de cacau e cana-de-açúcar

Abstract: RESUMOForam estudados os efeitos da adição de farelo de cacau e de cana-de-açúcar sobre as perdas de silagem de capim-elefante. Utilizou-se um esquema fatorial 2 x 4, sendo 0 e 15% de farelo de cacau e 0, 15, 30 e 45% de cana-de-açúcar, com quatro repetições, no delineamento inteiramente ao acaso. O capim-elefante apresentava 29,2% de matéria seca, e as silagens foram produzidas em silos experimentais de PVC, utilizando-se compactação de 600 kg de silagem/m 3 . A abertura dos silos ocorreu aos 60 dias após a e… Show more

“…According to Valeriano et al (2009), the levels of ash in sugar cane are usually low, and the oscillations in gray levels can be used to estimate values of DM loss during fermentation. Teixeira et al (2008) found pH variation of 3.7 to 4.1 for elephant grass silage; and as observed in this study, where the pH was 3.4 to 4.0, the variation and the silage additive with cornmeal presented the best pH, 3.93, when compared to other additives. These data corroborate with what was recommended by McDonald (1981), who states that the pH range great for adequate fermentation lies between 3.6 and 4.2.…”

“…There was a linear decrease of 1.93 percentage units with increasing levels of Stylosanthes in the silage. These results highlight the importance of the legume in the ensiling of tropical grasses, because the higher the NH 3 -N, the lower the quality of silage, in other words, there is degradation of protein compounds (true protein, peptides, amino acids, amines and amides), by Clostridium bacteria, to ammonia, known as promoters of proteolysis, which is lost by evaporation at the opening of the silo (Teixeira, Veloso, Pires, Silva & Nascimento, 2008). Therefore, the quantification of NH 3 -N values of the silage can be used to determine the efficiency of the fermentation process (McDonald, Henderson & Heron, 1991).…”

“…This reduction resulted from the greater DM concentration and pH values when the brans were added at 32%. The greater DM concentration and pH values reduced the activity of the Clostridium genus bacteria and promoted the proteolysis and the liberation of ammonia during the silage process [15]. In addition, the N-NH 3 /NT concentration is a good indicator for silage quality due to its contribution to the fermentative process [10].…”
