Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation Silage dry matter ranged from 32 to 34%.
- Intervention effect Lactic acid rose with ammonia through 1.04%.
- Intervention effect Lactic acid declined at higher ammonia percentages.
- Observation Recovery of added nitrogen was 95%.
- Observation Total nitrogen for five respective treatments was 1.28, 1.66, 2.04, 2.44, and 2.92%.
- Observation Forty percent of added ammonia in fresh corn was recovered in insoluble nitrogen.
- Mechanism That recovery accounted for all increased insoluble nitrogen in unfermented silage.
- Observation Insoluble nitrogen after fermentation was .71, .98, 1.11, 1.26, and 1.26% across treatments.
- Observation Twenty-eight percent of added ammonia was recovered as insoluble nitrogen after fermentation.
- Observation Direct incorporation accounted for 59% of increased insoluble nitrogen.
- Mechanism The remaining 41% increase was attributed to reduced plant-protein breakdown.
- Observation Eighty to ninety percent of ammonia in insoluble nitrogen remained ammonia.
- Observation Ten to twenty percent of ammonia in insoluble nitrogen was nonammonia nitrogen.
- Mechanism Papain digestion suggests microbial incorporation of ammonia.
