Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Gallnut tannin and L. plantarum alone or in combination decreased dry matter losses, pH and non-protein nitrogen in alfalfa silage.
- Intervention effect All additive treatments decreased in vitro ruminal methane production.
- Intervention effect All additive treatments increased Fibrobacter succinogenes numbers in the rumen fluid of alfalfa silage incubations.
- Intervention effect LP treatment increased nutrient degradation of alfalfa silage.
- Intervention effect LP treatment increased cellobiase, pectinase and protease activities in alfalfa silage.
- Intervention effect LP treatment increased Prevotella ruminicola abundance in alfalfa silage incubations.
- Intervention effect High-dose GT treatment inhibited nutrient degradation, cellobiase, pectinase and protease activities and P. ruminicola abundance.
- Intervention effect LP together with GT alleviated the adverse effects of high-dose GT supply alone.
- Intervention effect LP together with GT enhanced pectinase and protease activities compared with high-dose GT alone.
- Intervention effect LP together with GT enhanced Rumincoccus flavefaciens and P. ruminicola growth compared with high-dose GT alone.
- Recommendation A GT and LP combination can be used as an efficient additive to improve alfalfa silage quality and utilization by ruminants.
- Mechanism GT and LP may alleviate inhibitory effects of tannins on feed digestion by modulating ruminal microbiota.
