e0“the addition of 0.5% and 1.0% urea to sorghum silage is sufficient to improve aerobic stability”
Title
Effects of urea addition on the fermentation of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) silage
Ana Paula Maia dos Santos; Edson Mauro Santos; Juliana Silva de Oliveira; et al. African Journal of Range and Forage Science 2018. doi:10.2989/10220119.2018.1458751
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Urea increased lactic acid bacteria up to 60 g/kg DM.
- Intervention effect Urea reduced dry matter losses relative to control.
- Intervention effect Urea linearly increased ammoniacal nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Urea linearly increased crude protein.
- Intervention effect Urea linearly reduced ethanol content.
- Observation The pH of urea-treated silage indicated better preservation.
- Recommendation Authors recommend 2% urea to improve fermentation and reduce loss without lowering lactic acid.
- Recommendation Authors say 1.0% urea suffices for aerobic stability.
