Title

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Slurry treatment did not affect dry matter yield in HARV2, which was 781 kg/ha.
- Observation All alfalfa silages appeared well preserved without odors characteristic of clostridial fermentation by May 2013.
- Observation Clostridium tyrobutyricum was undetected in forage before or after ensiling.
- Intervention effect Pre-ensiled Clostridium cluster 1 counts in HARV1 were greater with slurry, 4.44 versus 3.29 log10 genomic copies/g.
- Intervention effect Pre-ensiled Clostridium cluster 1 counts in HARV2 were greater with slurry, 4.99 versus 3.88 log10 genomic copies/g.
- Intervention effect Post-ensiled HARV1 clostridial counts were greater for slurry applied to regrowth than to stubble, 5.51 versus 5.17 log10 genomic copies/g.
- Intervention effect Post-ensiled HARV2 clostridial counts were greater for slurry applied to regrowth than to stubble, 5.84 versus 5.28 log10 genomic copies/g.
- Intervention effect HARV2 clostridial counts were greater after a two-week slurry application delay than after one week, 6.23 versus 5.45 log10 genomic copies/g.
- Intervention effect The authors infer greater risk of clostridial fermentation after slurry application.
- Recommendation The authors prefer slurry application to stubble over delayed application to growing alfalfa.
