No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 1998-07-01; This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of anhydrous ammonia (NH3) or urea treatment on the occurrence of fungi in hays of Brachiaria decumbens Stapf cv. Basilisk, baled and stored with different moisture contents. The following treatments were evaluated: T1= green forage, soon after the harves...
Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T08:47:25Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 1998-07-01; The effects of the ammoniation of Brachiaria decumbens hay was evaluated. The hay bales were distributed into a complete randomized block design, with four replications and they were submitted to the treatments: untreated or treated with anhydrous ammonia (NH3)(2,0 and 3,0% of the DM) or with urea (3,6 ...
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...
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...
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...
Estudaram-se os efeitos de aditivos na fermentação e composição do bagaço de laranja, em silos laboratoriais de PVC com capacidade para 15 kg, distribuídos ao acaso com três silos por tratamento: sem aditivo (CT), inoculante enzimático microbiano (IN) e ácidos fórmico (FO), propiônico (PP) e acético (AC). As amostras foram tomadas antes (0) e 2, 8, 16, 32 e 64 dias após a ensilagem. Analisaram-se os teores de m...
We aimed to evaluate nutritional quality, fermentation profile, aerobic stability, and dry matter losses in corn (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum 'BRS Umbu') silages. Treatments included uninoculated and inoculated (Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus acidilactici, 1.0 × 105 UFC g-1) wheat silage, corn silage from a conventional hybrid and a transgenic hybrid. Nutritional quality and fermentation pro...
This study evaluated the effects of the rehydration and ensiling of corn grain with two geometric mean diameters (GMD) of 0.55 and 1.83 mm obtained by the diameter of the sieved used on the fermentation characteristics and chemical composition of the silage. The experimental design was completely randomized with two treatments and six replications, as follows: rehydrated fine-corn grain silage (RFS) and rehydra...
Estudaram-se os efeitos da substituição da silagem de milho pela silagem de bagaço de laranja sobre o consumo de nutrientes, a produção e a qualidade do leite de vacas da raça holandesa, num experimento em quadrado latino 4 x 4, com quatro níveis de substituição (0, 25, 50 ou 75% MS) da silagem de milho pela silagem de bagaço de laranja, com base na matéria seca, mantendo-se a relação volumoso:concentrado de 50...
