A fermentação de grãos de milho reidratados influenciada pela aplicação de aditivos: aspectos da conservação e do valor nutritivo para vacas leiteiras

Effect of ensiling temperature on microbial inoculants and performance of dairy cows fed corn grain silage with sodium benzoate

“…The lack of difference in milk compounds content for sodium benzoate treated silages agrees with other studies that also had no difference for DMI of treated and non-treated silages (Morais, 2016;Santos et al, 2019a;. However, the previous studies did not improve milk yield as observed in the current study.…”

“…High moisture corn and rehydrated corn grain silages are considered feedstuffs with high nutritional value for dairy cows and the use of additives are indicated to avoid losses during silage fermentation and feed-out phase. Although in some studies associating animal performance and the use of additives in grain silages, the responses of animal performance had not shown consistency and effects are still not clear (Morais, 2016;Santos et al, 2019a;. Therefore, the present trial hypothesized that a different pattern of fermentation between high moisture corn and rehydrated corn grain silages could result in the different performance of dairy cows, and the addition of sodium benzoate, at a specific dosage (0.2% fresh basis) might reduce proteolysis in both silages.…”
