- Association In on-farm Juncao silage samples, carbon supplementation was significantly positively correlated with total digestible nutrients, relative feed value and ether extract.
- Association In on-farm Juncao silage samples, carbon supplementation was significantly positively correlated with sensory evaluation.
- Observation Grey Relational Analysis of the on-farm Juncao silage samples identified J2, J3, J6, X6 and J5 among the top-ranked treatments.
- Intervention effect Fiber content of Juncao silage increased significantly with cutting height.
- Intervention effect Crude protein and total digestible nutrients of Juncao silage decreased significantly with cutting height.
- Intervention effect Juncao cut at 200-250 cm gave the highest total volatile fatty acids and lactic acid concentrations in silage.
- Intervention effect Juncao cut at 200-250 cm gave the lowest pH and ammonia nitrogen to total nitrogen ratio in silage.
- Intervention effect Mature Juncao silage under natural fermentation showed significantly higher degradation rates of ADF, NDF and ADL than with microbial inoculant.
- Intervention effect Natural fermentation of mature Juncao silage maintained a lower pH than microbial inoculant treatment.
- Intervention effect Cutting Juncao below 200 cm provides higher nutritional value.
- Recommendation For on-farm production, carbon supplementation is recommended to improve silage quality.
- Recommendation A cutting height of 200-250 cm is advised for Juncao silage to ensure optimal fermentation characteristics.
