“…Sulfur dioxide (SOr) inhibits bacterial and plant enzyme systems and was therefore evaluated as a silage preservative as long ago as 1885 (Watson and Nash 1960). It was reported to delay mold growth on the top layer of silage (Shepherd et al 1950), prevent or delay fermentation, lower pH, decrease lactic and volatile acid production, decrease ammonia production and increase the amount of reducing sugars in silage (Knodt etal.1952;Petrosyan 1967 to which lJVo of hominy had been added before ensiling (Knodt 1950).…”

“…Formic acid has been advocated as a silage additive since 1923 (Watson & Nash 1960) and by 1960 a limited amount of evidence suggested that it might be a useful agent in improving the quality of silage as assessed by animal production (Breirem & Ulvesli 1960). More recent reports indicated that voluntary intake of lucerne silage by heifers (Waldo et ale 1968) and by sheep (Wilkins & Wilson 1969) was greater when the silage was made with added formic acid.…”

Pairs of lucerne silage stacks were made on six occasions starting spring 1970. One of each pair received formic acid at about 4 lit. The other was untreated. The effects of formic acid on the resultant silage were assessed in terms of chemical analysis, digestibility, voluntary intake by sheep, and live-weight gain by sheep and cattle fed the silages as sole diets. Formic acid silages contained more organic matter (85.7 v. 82.6°iO) and digestible organic matter (56.4 v. 48.7%) and less fibre (35.9 v. 40.4°;/c,) than untreated silages, but had lower levels of ammonia (9.4 v. 24.2 %), pH (4.36 v. 5.22), and total volatile fatty acids (3.1 v. 7.6°iO).

RESUMO -O experimento foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito do tamanho de partícula (pequena de 0,2 a 0,6 cm ou grande de 1,0 a 2,0 cm) e da altura de corte das plantas de milho para ensilagem (baixo: 15,2 cm ou alto: 38,6 cm) sobre as perdas e o valor nutritivo das silagens. Foram avaliadas as seguintes silagens: silagem de partícula pequena com altura de corte baixo; silagem de partícula grande com altura de corte baixo; silagem de partícula pequena com altura de corte alto; e silagem de partícula grande com altura de corte alto. Não houve efeito significativo das interações altura de colheita das plantas × tamanho de partícula sobre as perdas de MS, PB e FDN. Influências significativas das interações altura de colheita das plantas × estrato no silo e tamanho de partícula × estrato no silo foram observadas, respectivamente, sobre as perdas de MS e PB. As silagens obtidas com corte alto (38,6 cm) no estrato inferior apresentaram maiores perdas (4,91%) em relação ao estrato superior no silo (2,67%) e às silagens obtidas com corte baixo (15,2 cm), independentemente do estrato no silo. Na análise das perdas de PB, os maiores valores foram observados em silagens de partículas pequenas no estrato superior (18,96%) e em silagens de partículas grandes no estrato inferior (18,68%), comparativamente às silagens com partículas pequenas no estrato inferior (11,52%) e às silagens de partículas grandes no estrato superior (17,54%). A silagem com partícula grande resultou em maiores perdas físicas na desensilagem.Palavras-chave: estrato no silo, perdas físicas, perdas químicas, proteína bruta, silagem de milho Effect of particle size and cutting height of corn (Zea mays L.) on losses of silages during the fermentation process and utilization period ABSTRACT -This trial evaluated the effect of particle size (small: between 0.2 and 0.6 cm or large: between 1.0 and 2.0 cm) and cutting height (low cut: 15.2 cm or high cut: 38.6 cm) of the corn plant on losses and nutritional value of silages. Treatments were: T 1 -small particle size with low cutting height; T 2 -large particle size with low cutting height; T 3 -small particle size with high cutting height; and T 4 -large particle size with high cutting height. No significant interaction was observed between cutting height and particle size for the following response variables: DM loss, CP loss, and NDF loss.Significant interaction was observed between cutting height and silo stratum and between particle size and silo stratum for the variables DM loss and CP loss, respectively. The high cutting silages (38.6 cm) on the inferior stratum showed higher losses (4.91%) compared to the superior silo stratum (2.67%) and low cutting silages (15,2 cm) regardless of the silo stratum. Greater CP losses were observed on the silages with small particle size on the superior stratum (18.96%) and on the silages with large particle size on the inferior stratum (18.68%) compared to silages with small particle size on the inferior stratum (11.52%) and silages with large particle size on...
