Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Urea added to whole-plant oat silage inhibited butyric acid fermentation and killed clostridial spores.
- Intervention effect Acid whole-plant oat silages free of butyric acid deteriorate quickly in air, unlike urea-treated alkaline silages.
- Intervention effect Mixtures of whole-plant oat silage and grass silage deteriorate quickly in air.
- Intervention effect Alkaline urea-treated whole-plant oat silages are very stable under aerobic conditions.
- Intervention effect Beef cattle may refuse urea-treated alkaline oat silage fed as sole forage, unlike sheep.
- Intervention effect Mixing urea-treated whole-plant oat silage with grass silage made it well accepted by cattle.
