Effects of lines and inoculants on nutritive value and production costs of triticale silages

Abstract

-The current study was undertaken to investigate the ensilage characteristics in triticale lines treated by inoculants and their interaction on fermentation metabolites and rumen degradability. Costs were estimated for growing and feeding whole-crop triticale lines for animal production. Triticale hybrids were harvested at the dough stage of maturity (38% dry matter, DM). Plants were chopped approximately 2 cm after harvest and then treated with inoculants and were ensiled in 1.5-L mini laboratory silos. Two lactic acid bacterial inoculants with enzymes (LAB+enzymes I: Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Streptococcus faecium with cellulase, hemicellulase, pentosanase, and amylase; LAB+enzyme II: P. acidilactici, L. plantarum, and amylase) were used as silage additives. Inoculants were applied at 1.5 × 10 5 cfu/g chopped fresh material. Silages with no additive served as the control. Four jars per treatment were sampled on day 60 after ensiling for chemical and microbiological analysis. At the end of the ensiling period (60 day), the silages were subjected to an aerobic stability test. The nutrient degradability of silages was determined in situ. Overall, there were no obvious interactions between triticale lines and the treatments for any of the parameters measured. The fermentation and nutritive value of silages were affected by treatments. LAB+enzymes increased the concentrations of lactic acid of the triticale silages and decreased the concentrations of butyric acid, total alcohols, and ammonia-N. Under aerobic conditions, LAB+enzyme treated silages had lower pH, CO 2 production, and number of yeasts. Fibrous fractions were decreased with the application of LAB+enzymes. The 48 h in situ organic matter, DM, and neutral detergent fiber digestibility of the silages were enhanced by treatments. Addition LAB+enzymes to dough stage triticale silage reduces proteolysis; the inoculant possess antimicrobial properties and improves fermentation and nutritional value. The economic results are favorable financially for growing winter triticale as an animal feed in Mediterranean-type climates.

Bazı tritikale çeşitlerinde farklı olgunlaşma dönemlerinin silolamada fermantasyon özellikleri ve yem değeri üzerine etkileri

“…Farklı olgunluk dönemlerinde hasat edilen tritikale çeşitlerinin taze materyallerinde saptanan kimyasal ve mikrobiyolojik analiz sonuçları Tablo 1'de verilmiştir. (37)'nın Bursa ili koşullarında yürüttükleri ve araştırma materyali olarak dört tritikale çeşidini kullandıkları çalışmalarında, hamur olum döneminde hasat edilen çeşitlerinin YOV ve KMV sırasıyla 4161-4428 kg/da ve 1386-1594 kg/da arasında değiştiğini bildirmektedirler. Geren (17)'nın İzmir ili koşullarında 2010 ve 2011 yıllarında yürüttükleri ve farklı dönemlerde hasat ettikleri tritikalenin iki yıllık KMV ortalaması başaklanma, süt olum ve hamur olum dönemleri için sırasıyla 770, 947 ve 1311 kg/da olarak tespit etmişlerdir.…”

Effects of Inoculation of Lactobacillus plantarum at Different Doses on Triticale (Triticosecale wittmack) Silage on Quality, Fermentation and Aerobic Stability Properties and Feed Value

“…It is widely grown in Türkiye and in many other countries. In addition to grain yield, it has become an interesting forage plant because of the high quality forage obtained from the unit area (Sucu & Çifci, 2016). Apart from the grain production, triticale also has several uses in grazing, hay production, and silage.…”

Effects of Bacillus coagulans and Lactobacillus plantarum on the Fermentation Quality, Aerobic Stability and Microbial Community of Triticale Silage

“…To improve the value of such poor-quality roughages for feeding. exogenous LAB, such as Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum), have been commonly used for their rapid acidi cation during ensiling [9,10]. However, L. plantarum has been reported to be ineffective in improving the aerobic stability of silage [11].…”
