“…En otra investigación realizada por Cruz et al (2019), encontraron valores de 72, 647 y 484 g kg -1 de PC, FDN y FDA, respectivamente, en ensilados de avena añadiendo 30% de cáscara de naranja. Los incrementos en el contenido de PC, FDN y FDA pueden deberse a que, al añadir cáscara de naranja al forraje, se obtiene un ensilado con menor contenido de carbohidratos no fibrosos (celulosa y hemicelulosa) (Anjos et al 2022) y al contenido de fibras que son de fácil fermentación, obteniendo mayores valores de digestibilidad (Grizotto et al 2020). La adición de cáscara de naranja al ensilaje aumenta el contenido de levaduras y bacterias ácido-lácticas, las cuales, favorecen la degradación de carbohidratos no fibrosos (Ebrahimi et al 2014, Grizotto et al 2020.…”

The use of silage is considered as a feeding strategy in animal production systems with ruminants during dry periods. The objective was to evaluate the yield and nutritive value in forage and silage of Mulato II grass (Urochloa hybrid) and two additives, at different regrowth ages. Ages of 3, 6 and 9 weeks and additives (orange peel and molasses) were evaluated in silages: 1) Mulato II (ME); 2) Mulato II + orange peel; 3) Mulato II + molasses and 4) Mulato II + orange peel + molasses. The variables were: yield (kg ha-1) of total dry matter (TDM) and by morphological component, plant height (PH, cm), leaf area index (LAI), CP, NDF, ADF and lignin in forage and silage; pH, brix degrees and DM (%) in silage. When the forage was harvested at nine weeks of regrowth, the highest DM yield was obtained (7 508 kg ha-1), while the CP content was higher in week three of regrowth (201 g kg-1), exceeding by 10 and 29% that found in the sixth and ninth weeks. The silages with additives presented the highest CP values and the lowest values of ADF, NDF and pH. The higher the age of regrowth, the higher the dry matter yields, while the nutritive value decreased; however, the use of orange peel and molasses in grass silages improved the nutritive value.

Context Harvest regimes may change the nutritive herbage value of tropical legumes depending on growth habit and regrowth capability. Aim This study aimed to compare the nutritive values of butterfly pea herb (Clitoria ternatea L.) to the sub-shrub stylo cv. Campo Grande (Stylosanthes capitata Vog. × Stylosanthes macrocephala M. B. Ferr. & N. S. Costa) and shrub hedge lucerne (Desmanthus pernambucanus (L.) Thellung) harvested at 60 and 90-day regrowth. Methods The trial used a randomised complete block design with a split-plot arrangement and four replicates. Leaves and stems were collected in the rainy seasons of 2019 and 2020 and analysed for chemical-bromatological composition and digestibility. Key results Higher crude protein contents were observed in butterfly pea (233 g/kg) than in stylo leaves (179 g/kg). Elevated proportions of insoluble fractions of carbohydrates (259 g/kg) and proteins (137 g/kg) were found in hedge lucerne leaves, also extremely high levels of condensed tannins (303 g/kg). High levels of dry matter digestibility were found in stylo (788 g/kg) and butterfly pea leaves (774 g/kg). The harvest frequencies changed the nutritive values inconsistently. Conclusions The butterfly pea herb and the sub-shrub stylo cv. Campo Grande can be managed under varied harvest frequencies without changing the nutritional value significantly. Prolonged harvest intervals must be avoided in hedge lucerne management for animal feeding because of its high contents of secondary metabolites. Implications This study restated the already-known nutritional variations among tropical legumes due to different growth habits and revealed a significant presence of condensed tannins in hedge lucerne’s leaves.

Ensiling maniçoba (Manihot pseudoglaziovii) is essential to preserve the nutrients of this forage plant. However, the plant moisture content may generate undesirable fermentations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different cornmeal inclusion levels (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) on the chemical composition and fermentation parameters of maniçoba silage, in addition to identifying the variables most affected by cornmeal. The concentrations of dry matter (DM), non-fiber carbohydrates (NFC), total digestible nutrients (TDN), and propionic acid increased with cornmeal inclusion levels (P < 0.05). Crude protein (CP), lignin, and butyric acid contents, as well as pH, were reduced by the additive (P < 0.05). Principal component analysis resulted in two main groups. Group I was formed by variables positively affected by cornmeal inclusion, namely DM, hemicellulose, NFC, and TDN. Group II contained variables that were negatively affected by cornmeal, namely CP, lignin, mineral matter, and butyric acid. Regardless of the addition of cornmeal, maniçoba silage displays an adequate chemical composition and a good fermentation profile for ruminant feeding. Dry matter and total digestible nutrients are the chemical variables most influenced by cornmeal inclusion, whereas pH and butyric acid are the fermentative parameters most affected by the moisture-absorbent additive. Including moderate levels of cornmeal in maniçoba silage is recommended to achieve the best fermentation profile and the highest concentration of digestible nutrients without mischaracterizing it as a roughage feed.
