“…Conversely, L. buchneri has been successfully used to enhance the aerobic stability of silages via the anaerobic conversion of lactic acid to acetic acid and 1,2‐propanediol (Driehuis, Oude Elferink, & Spolestra, ; Oude Elferink, Krooneman, Gottschal, Spoelstra, & Faber, ). Nevertheless, the effectiveness of these bacteria on sugarcane silage is still unclear (Rabelo et al., ; Santos et al., ). Results concerning fermentation patterns and aerobic stability are controversial.…”

et al. 2018

We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the impact of Lactobacillus plantarum or Lactobacillus buchneri on the fermentation, chemical composition, and aerobic stability of sugarcane silage. Two databases that included 15 and 27 published articles (81 and 83 silages evaluated) were used to evaluate L. plantarum and L. buchneri, respectively. For each database, the means of the treatments compiled from the studies were classified into two categories: (a) sugarcane silage without inoculant (untreated) and (b) sugarcane silage inoculated with L. plantarum (1 × 105–1.8 × 106 cfu/g of fresh forage) or with L. buchneri (2.5 × 104–1 × 106 cfu/g of fresh forage; inoculated). Sugarcane silage inoculated with L. plantarum displayed increased ethanol concentration (+43.8%, p < 0.01) and dry matter (DM) loss (+9.6%, p = 0.03). In contrast, inoculation with L. buchneri increased the acetic acid concentration (+30.8%, p = 0.01), and decreased ethanol concentration (−58.8%, p < 0.01) and DM loss (−19.7%, p < 0.01). In vitro DM digestibility decreased following inoculation with L. plantarum (−5.7%, p = 0.05) or L. buchneri (−3.3%, p < 0.01). Aerobic stability was unaffected by inoculation with L. plantarum (p = 0.16) or L. buchneri (p = 0.48). The results show that L. plantarum impairs the fermentation of sugarcane silages; therefore, its utilization might not be recommended for ensiling this crop. Conversely, even with no additional gain on silage digestibility and aerobic stability, L. buchneri may be recommended for sugarcane ensiling because it reduces alcoholic fermentation and DM loss.

“…In the present study, in natura sugarcane had Brix degree and NFC content of 21.0 and 436 g/kg respectively. These conditions provide a great substrate for lactic acid bacteria growth (Santos et al., ), resulting in a silage with an average pH ≤ 3.55, which is lower than the range suggested by McDonald et al. () (from 3.8 to 4.2) as ideal for silage fermentation.…”

“…In subtropical conditions, sugarcane can be used as cattle feed during periods of low pasture availability (Santos et al., ). However, this food source has to be harvested and chopped before being fed to animals, which demands labour‐intensive procedures in large‐scale systems (Fortaleza et al., ).…”

“…The use of inoculants containing homofermentative bacteria during ensiling leads to higher lactic acid production and lower pH (Freitas et al., ) as suitable factors. Nevertheless, some studies with homofermentative bacteria have shown little efficiency to control alcoholic fermentation (Freitas et al., ; Pedroso et al., ; Santos et al., ). According to Fitzsimons et al.…”

We aimed to evaluate the effects of chitosan and microbial inoculant addition to sugarcane silage fermentation, gas and effluent losses, chemical composition, in situ dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fibre (NDF) degradation and aerobic stability. A completely randomized design with four treatments (n = 40) was performed. It was arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial scheme with chitosan [0 and 6 g/kg of sugarcane DM—1.66 g/kg of natural matter (NM)] and microbial inoculant (0 and 8 mg/kg on NM). Each g of inoculant contained 3.9 × 1010 UFC/g of Pediococcus acidilactici and 3.75 × 1010 UFC/g of Propionibacterium acidicipropionici. The addition of microbial inoculant increased lactic acid concentration in silos treated with chitosan. Furthermore, chitosan increased pH and tended to increase acetic acid of silage. In contrast, the inoculant decreased pH and acetic acid, besides increasing ethanol concentration. As chitosan addition increased DM recovery, inoculant addition decreased it. Chitosan decreased NDF and acid detergent fibre (ADF) level and increased DM degradation, while inoculant decreased DM content, DM and NDF degradation. In addition, chitosan improved the aerobic stability only in non‐inoculated silos. Thus, chitosan has a positive effect on silage fermentation, reducing fermentative losses, and improving silage chemical composition and degradation. Conversely, the addition of microbial inoculant negatively affected silage DM recovery, chemical composition, and its association with chitosan decreased the aerobic stability when compared to the exclusive use of chitosan.

“…Two of the limitations of its use are its low protein content and the low digestibility of its fiber. When selecting genotypes for use in the industry, little attention has been paid to the quality of the plant fiber, which can adversely affect its nutritional value for ruminants (Santchurn et al 2012;Santos et al 2015). Genotypes with higher forage potential also have more digestible fiber (Santos et al 2011).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate, based on chemical composition and in vitro dry matter (DM) digestibility, silages of different sugarcane genotypes after exposure to different doses of calcium oxide (CaO) and to identify that most appropriate dose for use in ruminant feed. The experiment was conducted using a completely randomized 3 9 4 factorial arrangement with three sugarcane genotypes ('IAC-862480', 'SP-791011' and 'CTC-3') and four levels of the additive CaO (0, 15, 30 and 45 g kg À1 ). A quadratic effect was observed (P < 0.05) for DM content in the silages of genotypes 'SP-791011' and 'CTC-3'. The organic matter content of genotypes 'SP-791011' and 'CTC-3' showed a negative linear effect that was associated with the addition of CaO, which promoted an increase in the mineral matter (MM) content in the silages. There was no effect (P > 0.05) of genotype or an interaction effect between genotype and CaO level on crude protein content in the silages. There was an interaction effect (P < 0.05) between genotype and CaO level on the level of neutral detergent fiber in the studied silages and the development of this interaction revealed a linear decrease in neutral detergent fiber in genotype IAC-86280 and a quadratic effect (P < 0.05) for genotypes 'SP-791011' and 'CTC-3'. Potentially degradable DM (pdDM) values showed a positive quadratic function with maxima at 34.8 g kg À1 CaO. The results obtained for potentially degradable neutral detergent fiber (pdNDF) showed that there was a negative linear effect for genotype 'SP-791011' and a quadratic effect with the maximum critical point for genotypes 'IAC-862480' and 'CTC-3'. Total DM losses decreased with levels of CaO. All genotypes evaluated showed potential for silage production. The addition of CaO in the ensiling of sugarcane at up to 45 g kg À1 reduces gas and effluent losses and increases the DM recovery of the silages.
