“…These increases were a consequence of the high Ca content in CaO (Table 2), which was also the main factor responsible for the increases in the MM and DM content of the diets with hydrolyzed sugarcane as well as the reductions in OM compared with those of the control treatment (Table 1). The results of the present study corroborate those presented by Daniel et al (2013), who performed a meta-analysis study of 20 published articles and observed a reduction in OM content and an increase in the concentrations of DM, MM and Ca in sugarcane hydrolyzed with 0.5% to 3% CaO.…”

“…In this sense, in relation to that of the control diet, there were substantial increases in MM content of 29%, 47% and 75%, respectively, when 0.5%, 1% and 2% CaO was used in the sugarcane hydrolysis (Table 1). Moreover, the heat resulting from the CaO hydration reaction in the forage submitted to hydrolysis can accelerate the sugarcane fermentation process, reducing the soluble carbohydrate content and, consequently, the NFC content (DANIEL et al, 2013). The intake of total digestible nutrients (TDN), ADF, lignin, hemicelluloses and cellulose presented quadratic behavior (P<0.01) in response to the increase in CaO inclusion (Table 3).…”

Twelve multiparous 7/8 Holstein x Gyr dairy cows were fed diets based on chopped sugarcane supplied in natura (control) or after being hydrolyzed (fresh matter basis) for 24 h with 0.5%, 1% or 2% calcium oxide (CaO). The voluntary consumption and digestibility of dietary nutrients, milk production and composition, and feeding behavior of cows were evaluated. A switchback design with three periods, four treatments and three blocks was used. The linear and quadratic effects of the treatments were analyzed using orthogonal contrasts, and the effects were considered significant when P ≤ 0.05. Compared to the that in the control treatment, the Ca concentration increased by 297%, 570% and 1,083% in the diets including sugarcane hydrolyzed with 0.5%, 1% and 2% CaO, respectively, while the respective Ca:P ratios were 6.58:1, 10.70:1 and 19.77:1 (control Ca:P ratio: 1.55:1). The hydrolysis of sugarcane with increasing amounts of CaO promoted a linear reduction (P < 0.01) in the intake of dry matter (DM), nonfibrous carbohydrates, crude protein (CP), organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fiber corrected for ash and protein (NDFap) and ether extract. The intake of total digestible nutrients, acid detergent fiber (ADF), lignin, hemicelluloses and cellulose presented quadratic behavior (P < 0.01) in response to increasing CaO concentrations used for sugarcane hydrolysis. Increases in the amount of CaO used for sugarcane hydrolysis had no effect on the digestibility of NDFap (P > 0.05), but there were linear reductions (P < 0.05) in the digestibility of DM, OM and ADF; the production of milk corrected or not corrected to 4% fat; and the content of protein, lactose and total solids. Linear reductions (P < 0.05) were also observed in the production of all milk components. Only the milk fat content was not altered (P > 0.05) in response to the inclusion of hydrolyzed sugarcane in the diets. There was no effect (P > 0.05) of sugarcane hydrolysis with increasing amounts of CaO on the time the cows spent idle, ruminating and feeding, but there was a linear increase (P < 0.05) in the minutes spent ruminating 1 kg of DM and NDF. Chopped sugarcane hydrolyzed for 24 h with 0.5% to 2.0% CaO should not be used as exclusive roughage in diets for Holstein x Gyr dairy cows with an average milk production of 10 kg day −1 . ResumoDoze vacas multíparas 7/8 Holândês x Gir foram alimentadas com dietas à base de cana de açúcar picada fornecida in natura (controle) ou hidrolisada (base da matéria natural) por 24 h com 0,5%, 1% ou 2% de óxido de cálcio (CaO). O consumo voluntário e a digestibilidade dos nutrientes das dietas, a produção e composição do leite, e o comportamento alimentar das vacas foram avaliados. Um delineamento em switchback com três períodos, quatro tratamentos, e três blocos foi utilizado. Os efeitos linear e quadrático dos tratamentos foram analisados por contrastes ortogonais e diferenças foram consideradas significativas quando P ≤ 0,05. Em comparação ao tratamento controle foram observados aumentos de 297%, 570% e 1.083%, re...

“…Moreover, because lime reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide (Daniel et al . ), lime addition resulted in higher values of pH and BC, and decreased the ensilability of the forage, as the FC decreased substantially. The a w was unaffected by treatments, and lasted around 0.94, which is considered adequate for clostridium growth (McDonald et al .…”

“…Nevertheless, due to the inorganic origin of lime, which is rich in calcium (approximately 500 g kg À1 DM) predominantly as oxide (Pancoti et al 2011), the addition of lime to sugarcane (L, L+B, L+N, L+LB and L+LP) led to higher values of ash and DM. Moreover, because lime reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide (Daniel et al 2013b), lime addition resulted in higher values of pH and BC, and decreased the ensilability of the forage, as the FC decreased substantially. The a w was unaffected by treatments, and lasted around 0.94, which is considered adequate for clostridium growth (McDonald et al 1991).…”

The aim of this study was to compare strategies to prevent clostridium growth in sugarcane silages added with lime. In Experiment 1, treatments were (as fed basis): no additives (Control), 15 g lime kg−1 (L), 15 g lime kg−1 + 1.5 g sodium benzoate kg−1 (L+B), 15 g lime kg−1 + 0.7 g sodium nitrite kg−1 (L+N), 15 g lime kg−1 + Lactobacillus buchneri (5 × 105 cfu g−1) (L+LB) and 15 g lime kg−1 + Lactobacillus plantarum (5 × 105 cfu g−1) (L+LP). Plastic buckets (20 L) were used as experimental silos. Silage fermentative losses and aerobic stability were also evaluated. Lime treatment was not effective in decreasing dry matter (DM) losses compared with control silage (121 and 158 g kg−1, respectively). On the other hand, L+LB, L+B, L+LP and L+N treatments significantly decreased DM losses (70, 73, 87 and 98 g kg−1, respectively). The aerobic stability of silages L (172 h), L+B (155 h) and L+N (223 h) was substantially higher compared to those treated with L+LB (49 h), L+LP (48 h) and control (52 h). Control silages had low counts of clostridia (log 3.3 cfu g−1) whereas L and L+LB treated silages reached very high clostridium counts (log 6.7 and log 6.0 cfu g−1, respectively). The remaining treatments resulted in intermediate values. In Experiment 2, sugarcane treated with lime (15 g kg−1) received the following doses of sodium nitrite prior to ensiling: 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g kg−1 as fed. Treatments did not affect clostridium counts but decreased butyric acid and 2,3‐butanediol. The silage with the highest nitrite dose decreased the butyric acid content substantially compared to other treatments but the final level (5.9 g kg−1 DM) was above the target value for well‐fermented silage. None of additives combined with lime were able to provide completely butyric acid free silages.

“…Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is cultivated throughout the global tropical zone mainly for the production of sugar and ethanol. Due to the high yield of fresh mass (80 t ha -1 ) and high soluble carbohydrate content (396 ± 109 g kg -1 ) (Daniel et al, 2013a), sugarcane is potentially used for animal feeding. The main obstacle to use sugarcane as exclusive roughage is the reduced crude protein levels (55.5 ± 46.8 g kg -1 ) (Daniel et al, 2013b) and the high labor cost in logistic operations (Siqueira et al, 2012).…”

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) ensilage presents serious limitations due to the conversion of soluble carbohydrates into ethanol, thus, it is necessary to use additives that reduce losses of DM during the ensilage process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing levels of detoxified castor-bean (Ricinus communis L.) meal (DCBM) on the nutritive value, fermentation pattern, stability and losses of sugarcane silages. Twenty mini-silos with sugarcane and five different concentrations of DCBM (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 g kg -1 fresh matter) were prepared in a completely randomized design with five replicates per treatment. After 60 d, silage was sampled to determine chemical-bromatological composition, fractionation of carbohydrates and protein content, ammoniacal N (N-NH3) and losses through gases and effluents. The addition of DCBM increased (P < 0.05) DM content, crude protein, fraction A + B1 of the total carbohydrates. However, it reduced (P < 0.05) the levels of neutral and acid detergent insoluble fiber, fraction B1 + B2 of total N and N-NH3. The addition of DCBM reduced the losses of total DM but decreased silages aerobic stability. The addition of 150 g kg -1 DBCM improved the nutritional value, fermentation pattern and reduced losses of sugarcane silages.
