Effects of obligate heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria alone or in combina...

Effect of ensiling on the feeding value of flint corn grain for feedlot beef ca...

Chemical composition, aerobic stability, and fermentation pattern of white oat ...

White oat has good nutritional quality but is not an easy forage to ensile due to its high buffer capacity and moisture content at ensiling moment. Therefore, wilting is necessary to offset such negative aspects. However, this process demands skilled workforce and adequate machinery. In this way, chemical desiccation is a promising technology to reduce the steps needed for wilting. Thus, we aimed to evaluate th...

Okara or soybean grain added to the rehydrated corn grain silage for cattle: di...

The experiment was carried out to evaluate total and partial digestibility of nutrients, the efficiency of microbial protein synthesis, in situ degradability and ruminal parameters in cattle fed diets with rehydrated corn grain silages, okara or soybean grain. Three Holstein steers were distributed in a 3 x 3 Latin square design. The treatments evaluated were: SO (corn grain silage + 30% okara), SSG (corn grain...

Occurrence of visible losses and relationship with corn silage management in da...

The aim of this study was to relate the occurrence of visible losses in silage (effluent, spoiled top-layer and during feedout) with silage-making practices, physical and chemical characteristics of silage, and milk composition in Brazilian dairy herds. One-hundred and eight silos from 95 farms, in the State of Parana, were visited for data collection. Data were analyzed by Fisher's Exact and Pearson Correlatio...

Effects of Lactobacillus buchneri on the nutritive value of sugarcane silage fo...

Participation of the reticulorumen and omasum in the total absorptive surface o...

About 50% of volatile fatty acids (VFA) produced in the reticulorumen are absorbed in this compartment. The other 50% pass with the fluid phase to the omasum and are absorbed before the duodenum. The objective of this experiment was to measure the absorption surface of the reticulorumen and omasum aiming to compare it with the absorption magnitude. Eight adult bovines had their stomachs removed immediately afte...
