Changes in maize silage fermentation products during aerobic deterioration and effects on dry matter intake by goats

Abstract: Chemical and microbiological changes occurring during aerobic exposure of maize silages and their influence on dry matter (DM) intake and preference by goats were evaluated. Eight maize silages differing in DM content, chopping length and compaction pressure were used for the study. After opening, silages were exposed to air for 8 days (d). In 2-d intervals, silage was stored anaerobically for use in preference trials. During the experimental phase, each possible two-way combination of the five silages (d0, d2… Show more

“…In Table , it is observed that after exposure to air over time 8 and 9 days , there was a reduction in the WSC content of corn silage and an increased DM content [8]. The sugarcane silages showed an increase in the NDF and CP contents and reduced lignin ADL and non-ibrous carbohydrate NFC contents [19]. These changes in the chemical composition of silages can interfere on intake and digestibility of silages.…”
