Silage quality of Brachiaria brizantha cultivars ensiled with different levels of millet meal

Abstract: The silage quality of Brachiaria brizantha cultivars ensiled with different levels of millet meal was evaluated. The experimental design was a completely randomized with three replications in a factorial 3 x 4, with three cultivars of Brachiaria brizantha: marandu, xaraés, and piatã and four levels of millet meal 0, 5, 10, and 15%. The addition of millet meal improved the quality of B. brizantha silage. The inclusion of the additive at 15% provided the best nutritional values. The piatã silage had the lowest c… Show more

“…The decrease in the NDF content was also found by Ribeiro et al (2008), which added wheat meal in the silage of elephant grass, and by Costa et al (2011) when added millet meal in the silage of marandu, xaraés and Piata palisadegrass.…”

“…By adding 15% of millet meal, Costa et al (2011) registered increases in DM content from 20.5 to 28.4%; from 21.9 to 31.5%, and from 19.7 to 31.0% DM for silages of Marandu, Piata and Xaraes palisadegrasses, respectively. In the same way, Gonçalves et al (2007) evaluated the elephant grass silage added with cashew apple and achieved a remarkable increase in DM content, varying from 20.8% at level zero, to 33.8% by adding 20% of the additive.…”

“…A ureia tem sido utilizada na ensilagem devido a possível alteração no perfil de fermentação, pois quando a amônia liberada pela hidrólise da ureia se liga as partículas de água existente no meio ocorre à formação de hidróxido de amônia, composto capaz de solubilizar os constituintes da parede celular, principalmente hemicelulose, consequentemente há redução do teor de fibra em detergente ácido (loPes et al, 2007;FernAndes et al, 2009). Para o calcário, efeito semelhante foi relatado por rABelo et al (2013), em que este produto possui a capacidade de reduzir os constituintes da parede celular por meio de hidrólise alcalina, alterando o pH e a pressão osmótica, de forma a contribuir com a preservação dos nutrientes após abertura dos silos.…”
