Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Inoculation lowered silage pH from 5.9 to 4.5 within 2 days, while untreated silage did not drop below 5 until day 16.
- Intervention effect Inoculated alfalfa silage had lower pH than untreated silage at all ensiling times.
- Intervention effect Inoculated alfalfa silage had higher lactic acid concentration than untreated silage.
- Intervention effect Inoculated alfalfa silage had lower water-soluble carbohydrates than untreated silage.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased proteolysis in alfalfa silage.
- Intervention effect Inoculation increased non-protein nitrogen in alfalfa silage.
- Intervention effect Inoculation did not affect ruminal degradability of dry matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber of alfalfa silage.
- Observation Effective degradability of dry matter of alfalfa silage averaged 66.
- Observation Effective degradability of crude protein of alfalfa silage averaged 65.
- Observation Effective degradability of neutral detergent fiber of alfalfa silage averaged 62.
- Intervention effect Dairy cows fed inoculated alfalfa silage had dry matter intake similar to cows fed untreated silage.
- Intervention effect Dairy cows fed inoculated alfalfa silage had milk yield similar to cows fed untreated silage.
