“…This change in the nutritional value may be associated with the additive. This improvement in the nutritional quality of silage provided by ground corn as an additive was also observed by Rezende et al (2015) and Bezerra et al (2019). The type of silo also influenced the quality of the pearl millet silage (Table II).…”

“…Moisture scavenger additives are also used, which in addition to correcting the dry matter content, can also provide soluble carbohydrates and stimulate fermentation (Tavares et al 2009, Rezende et al 2015. The use of ground corn has been described as an important adsorbent additive in improving the fermentative and chemical quality of elephant grass silage and also in other forages (Rezende et al 2008).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the silo type with the use or not of additives on chemical composition, in vitro gas production, fermentative losses, aerobic stability, fermentative profile, and microbial population of the pearl millet silage. We used a randomized block design in a 2 × 3 factorial scheme, with two types of silos (plastic bags and PVC silos) and three additives ([CON] without additive; 50 g of ground corn [GC], and Lactobacillus plantarum and Propionibacterium acidipropionici, with five replicates per treatment. We evaluated the chemical analyses, in vitro gas production, losses, aerobic stability, pH, ammoniacal nitrogen, and microbial population of the silages. The use of GC in the ensiling process improved the chemical composition of the silages. The additives and the type of silo did not affect (p > 0.05) the gas production kinetics, ammoniacal nitrogen, and population of lactic acid bacteria and fungi. Thus, the use of ground corn improved the nutritional value of the pearl millet silage. In turn, the inoculant provided better aerobic stability for the pearl millet silage.The plastic bag silos without vacuum were not efficient in the ensiling process like the PVC silos, which resulted in low-quality silage.

“…In an in vitro work, the chemical composition, fermentation characteristics, and aerobic stability of cabbage silages either mixed with 40 g ground corn or treated with bacterial inoculant in an attempt to increase DM have been evaluated by Rezende et al (2015) , and it was observed that the inoculant was unnecessary, and the inclusion of ground corn would increase the cost of the silage and, therefore, was impracticable. Previous work on feeding fresh cabbage leaves or cauliflower leaves to goats showed no difference in performance [in terms of apparent digestibility of DM, OM, CP, acid detergent fiber (ADF), efficiency of nutrient utilization, and dry matter intake (DMI)] compared to other green forages ( Wadhwa et al, 2006 ), but it has been illustrated that dietary inclusion of fresh cabbage (up to 200 g/kg diet in concentrate basal feed) to lambs reduced their growth rate (232 vs. 271 g/d) probably due to the presence of S-methylcysteine sulfoxide and glucosinolates, which depress feed consumption ( Nkosi et al, 2016 ).…”

The effect of feeding broccoli byproduct-wheat straw silage (BBWS) (69:31 ratio, DM basis) on performance, microbial N synthesis (MNS), rumen and blood parameters in Fashandy lambs were evaluated. Three diets, with equal metabolisable energy and crude protein (CP) with a forage to concentrate ratio of 27:73 (DM basis), were formulated in which forage (lucerne and wheat straw) was replaced by BBWS (0, 100, or 200 g/kg of diet DM). These were assigned to 3 groups (n = 15/group) in a completely randomized block design for a 70-d period in which diets were offered as a total mixed ration. For each animal, dry matter intake (DMI), average daily gain (ADG), in vivo apparent digestibility, MNS, N retention, rumen and blood parameters were measured. The BBWS diets had no influence on DMI, ADG, and feed conversion efficiency, in vivo apparent digestibility coefficients of DM, OM, CP, and ash-free NDF. Neither MNS and N retention nor serum concentrations of glucose, triglycerides, creatinine, cholesterol, urea N, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, total protein, albumin, and globulin were affected. Rumen pH, NH3-N, short-chain fatty acid concentrations, the ratio of acetic to propionic acid, and protozoa numbers were, also, not influenced. In summary, BBWS may be fed to Fashandy lambs up to 200 g/kg of diet DM without any adverse impacts on growth performance.
