“…The reduction was due to the increase in the DM content of the concentrate included in the diets that acted by absorbing moisture from Guinea grass silage. The babassu by-products present in TMRF and TMRC proved to be equivalent to the standard corn and soybean concentrate (TMRS), reducing losses that were related to water activity, the DM content of the ensiled forage, the physical treatment applied to the forage at the time of cutting and the use of additives, whether chemical or nutritional [35]. Additionally, linked to the reduction in gas and effluent losses, the TMR silages reached high dry matter recovery (DMR) for TGS, remaining above 90%, demonstrating that the TMR of the present study met the prerequisites of the silage process efficiently.…”

“…When observing losses in silage, the inclusion of concentrates in TMR silages provided greater efficiency in reducing losses by gases (GL) and effluents (EL) compared to TGS [6,35]. The reduction was due to the increase in the DM content of the concentrate included in the diets that acted by absorbing moisture from Guinea grass silage.…”

“…Guinea grass silage showed higher butyric acid (BA) and ammonia nitrogen (NH 3 -N) contents than TMR silage. The DM content of TGS may have provided the proliferation of undesirable microorganisms, as silages with a DM content of less than 25% provide a favorable environment for the development of bacteria of the genus Clostridium [31], which are responsible for affecting the conservation efficiency of the silage using carbohydrates, proteins, or even the lactic acid present in silages as a substrate for its growth, thus increasing its losses, in addition to providing unfavorable sensory characteristics for animal intake, which can directly affect their performance [34,35].…”

Using by-products added to grass silage in the total mixed ration (TMR) silage form can bring advantages to the ensiling process, raising DM levels, absorbing moisture, and improving the silage’s chemical composition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of babassu by-products’ inclusion substitution for corn in Guinea grass silage in the total mixed ration as an alternative feed for ruminants. The experiment was a completely randomized design with four treatments (silage) and five replications (silo). There was a significant difference in the fermentation profile and losses of silage (p < 0.001), some organic acids (lactic and butyric acids, p < 0.001), and the percentage of lactic acid in fermentation products (LA:FP, p < 0.001). The TGS showed the highest average for the variable’s maximum temperature (p < 0.001) and hours/max temperature (p = 0.011). Babassu by-products could eventually replace 50% of corn in total mixed rations silage containing Guinea grass, meeting the suggestion for the total mixed ration silage.

The use of babassu agro‐industrial residues in animal feed, in addition to being an economic option of great importance in reducing the environmental impact in regions of the Brazilian Cerrado, provides the production of good quality foods of animal origin due to its nutritional characteristics. However, information related to the nutritional components of babassu by‐industrial residues has not yet been sufficiently explored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional potential of some by‐products from the babassu production chain through chemical composition and in situ degradability analyses. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized experimental design, with 4 by‐products from babassu processing (cake, greasy, fine flour, and 95 µm flour) and 5 replications. The by‐products differ in terms of chemical composition, except for the hemicellulose content. For the degradability of fraction “a” of dry matter, it presented a higher percentage for 95 µm flour. Fine flour and 95 µm flour presented the highest fractions “b” and “c,” potential, and effective degradability of dry matter. For the degradation of crude protein, the highest percentages of potential and effective degradability were observed for greasy and 95 µm flour. The highest standardized potentially degradable fraction and the highest passage rate were obtained by 95 µm flour, which also showed greater degradation for dry matter, crude protein, and neutral detergent fiber. Among the by‐products studied, the babassu cake has superior chemical composition; however, the 95 µm flour presented nutritional value and satisfactory rumen degradation to be used as an additive or in partial replacement of traditional concentrates.

The use of mixed ration silage (MRS) provides animals with a diet formulation that meets their nutritional requirements. This study aimed to evaluate the fermentative profile, losses, chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility of mixed ration silages, including babassu by-products as a feed alternative for dairy cows. A completely randomized design was used, with four treatments and five replications, which were composed of TGS: Tanzania grass silage; MRSS: Tanzania grass silage with corn and soybean meal; MRSF: Tanzania grass silage with corn, soybean meal and babassu flour; and MRSC: Tanzania grass silage with corn, soybean meal and babassu cake. There was a significant difference between MRS and TGS (p < 0.05) in the variables’ pH, gas (GL) and effluent losses (EL), dry matter recovery (DMR), water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC), dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN). There was no statistical difference in buffer capacity (BC), acid detergent lignin, hemicellulose, ether extract (EE) and aerobic stability. However, for the variables’ ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) and non-fibre carbohydrate (NFC) content, lower values were observed in the MRS (p < 0.001). The babassu by-products, cake and flour, can replace corn by up to 50% of the total ration silage with Tanzania grass, meeting the nutritional requirements of dairy cows.
