“…The positive relationship between CH 4 -NDF is an unexpected outcome and might be attributed to the FAE-producing ability of LAB, which decomposes hemicellulose during anaerobic fermentation. This is inconsistent with the data obtained by Ansah et al [64] but similar to Singh et al [65], who reported positive but not significant results. Singh et al [65] also reported a positive and significant relationship between ADF and total GP, which aligns with our results.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different forms of Lentilactobacillus buchneri on the in vitro methane production, fermentation characteristics, nutritional quality, and aerobic stability of corn silage treated with or without urea. The following treatments were applied prior to ensiling: (1) no urea treatment and LB; (2) no urea treatment+freeze dried LB; (3) no urea treatment+preactivated LB; (4) with urea treatment+no LB; (5) with urea treatment+freeze dried LB; (6) with urea treatment+preactivated. LB was applied at a rate of 3 × 108 cfu/kg on a fresh basis, while urea was applied at a rate of 1% on the basis of dry matter. Data measured at different time points were analyzed according to a completely randomized design, with a 2 × 3 × 5 factorial arrangement of treatments, while the others were analyzed with a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement. Preactivated LB was more effective than freeze-dried LB in reducing silage pH, ammonia nitrogen, cell-wall components, yeast count, and carbon dioxide production, as well as increasing lactic acid and residual water-soluble carbohydrate and aerobic stability (p < 0.0001). A significant reduction in the methane ratio was observed after 24 h and 48 h incubation with preactivated forms of LB (p < 0.001). The results indicated that preactivated LB combined with urea improved fermentation characteristics, nutritional quality, and aerobic stability and reduced the methane ratio of corn silages.

“…Digestibility has been reported to be synonymous with in vitro gas production, with a high positive correlation obtained between gas production and dry matter digestibility Ansah et al 42 , Fievez et al 15 . In addition, the significant (p<0.05) difference for IVDMD suggested possible differences in microbial species and activity.…”

Background and Objective: The increased aesthetic nuisance caused by cassava root sievate has been a major concern to environmentalists and animal scientists in discovering means of adding value to this agro-waste. The study aimed to evaluate the nutritional, anti-nutritional, in vitro gas production and fermentation characteristics of biodegraded and non-biodegraded cassava root sievate for goats. Materials and Methods: Pleurotus tuber-regium, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus eryngii, were used to treat cassava root sievate for 45 days. The nutritional, in vitro gas production and fermentation characteristics of the biodegraded and non-biodegraded cassava root sievate, were evaluated. Results: The results showed that biodegraded cassava root sievate (BCRS) were significantly (p>0.05) higher in crude protein (CP), ash, nitrogen-free extract (NFE) and calcium while non-biodegraded cassava root sievate (NBCRS) were higher (p>0.05) in ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), hydrogen cyanide (HCN) tannins, saponins. BSCR produced significantly higher (p>0.05) in vitro gas at 6, 12 and 24 hrs incubation time. Organic matter digestibility (OMD), in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) and metabolisable energy (ME) were significantly (p>0.05) higher for the BSCR. Conclusion: It could be concluded that the use of white-rot fungi for biodegradation improved the quality and feeding value of cassava root sievate.

“…Groundnut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) is among important grain legume crops in the world especially in the tropic and sub‐tropic regions due to its adaptation to the climatic conditions and limited diseases (Prasad et al, 2009). The grains are good source of protein, as well as vitamins and the fodder is also a source of quality feed for livestock (Abdul Rahman, Ansah, et al, 2019; Ansah et al, 2021; Larbi et al, 1999). It provides food for household consumption, generates household income, and plays an important role in amelioration of soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation (Jolly et al, 2008; Sanginga, 2003).…”

Low plant density and weed infestation are major challenges for groundnut production in northern Ghana. A two‐year on‐farm study was conducted to determine the effect of plant density and variety on grain and fodder yields, incidence of leaf spot disease, weed species diversity and biomass. A factorial treatment combination of 6 varieties and 4 plant densities laid in strip plot design with 4 replications was used. The varieties were (early maturity type: Chinese, Yenyewoso, Samnut 23 and late maturity type: Azivivi, Manipinta, Samnut 22). The plants density included 9, 11, 15 and 22 plants/m2. The late maturity varieties recorded higher (p < .05) canopy cover, grain and fodder yields relative to that of the early maturity varieties. The late maturity varieties also recorded the least sedge weed species frequency, density and incidence of leaf spot disease compared with that of the early maturity varieties. The canopy cover, grain and fodder yields increased with increasing plant density. Broadleaf weed species frequency and density, weed biomass, richness, and diversity declined with increasing plant density. Grain yield showed negative and significant correlation with broadleaf weed species frequency, density and weed biomass. The results suggest that both early and late maturity groundnut varieties can be planted at a density of 22 plants/m2 to increase grain and fodder yields and reduce weed species richness, diversity and growth in northern Ghana and similar agro‐ecology in West Africa.
