“…Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation is a well-known technique used to preserve high moist forages under low pH and high lactic acid conditions from bioconversion of sugar [3,4]. Silage additives such as molasses and cellulase are normally added when low moist and sugar content feedstuffs are fermented with LAB inoculants.…”

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of Lactobacillus, cellulase, and molasses on chemical composition, fermentation qualities, and microorganism count of sugarcane bagasse silage after 30-days fermentation. The treatments were arranged according to a factorial arrangement (2 × 2 × 2) + 1, in a complete randomized design. The first factor consisted of two levels of Lactobacillus casei TH14 (TH14, 0 and 0.05 g/kg fresh matter; the second factor consisted of two levels of cellulase enzyme (C, 0 and 10 4 U/kg fresh matter); and the third factor consisted of two levels of molasses (M, 0 and 5 g/ 100 mL distilled water). A treatment (+1) referred to the use of rice straw without any treatments. The result showed that dry matter increased by 4% and neutral detergent fiber decreased by 2% of sugarcane bagasse when ensiled as a combination of additives as compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse. The pH and ammonia nitrogen were significantly dropped to 3.5 and 2.3 g/kg dry matter. Furthermore, lactic acid was increased by 64% when compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse, respectively. Lactic acid bacteria count was increased by 28% as compared to untreated sugarcane bagasse. Based on this experiment, fermenting with L. casei TH14, cellulase, and molasses in combination resulted in the promotion of the best qualities of sugarcane bagasse silage.

Forage maize silage and sorghum silage might be comparable in terms of nutrient content, especially in fermentation quality. Many studies have been conducted on this matter, but no comprehensive analysis exists. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the nutrient content of both maize and sorghum silage through a meta-analysis method. A total of 190 articles relevant to the keyword were further selected until 17 scientific articles according to the determined criteria for this study. The articles were entered into the database. Hedges'g effect was used to measure the estimate with a 95% confidence interval (CI) using random-effects models. The results showed that the pH of forage sorghum silage was significantly (p<0.05, Estimate = 1.029, 95% CI = 0.404 to 1.653) higher than that of forage maize silage. And then, lactic acid (Estimate = -1.174, 95% CI = -1.797 to -0.551) and ammonia (Estimate = -3.180, 95% CI = -4.885 to -1.484) were significantly (p<0.05) lower than maize silage and no effect (P>0.05) in ammonia value. Based on this study, sorghum silage potentially a substitute for maize silage.

this experiment compared silages obtained from 3 hybrids of sorghum grown on 2 farms of the po valley (one irrigated and one not), in terms of in vitro degradability, gas production (gp), and energy value. hybrids (forage, sweet or grain genotypes) were sown in experimental plots (3 plots × 3 hybrids), harvested at late-milk stage of maturity, and ensiled into mini-silos (3 silos × 3 hybrids) for 60 d. After ensiling, silages were analyzed for composition and fermentation profile. Two incubations (at 48 h) were carried out to measure ndf degradability (ndfd), gp, and the metabolizable energy (me) content of silages. data of silage composition were submitted to anova, considering farm (f), hybrid (h), and f × h interaction as variation sources. incubation (run) was also considered as a fixed effect in the statistical model for the parameters obtained by in vitro incubation (ndfd, gp, and energy content). on the irrigated farm (farm 2), the dm contents of silages were higher than those of the non-irrigated one (P<0.001) and the fermentation profile was more favorable. values of gp at 24 and 48 h and me content were higher (p<0.05) for silages of farm 2 in comparison with farm 1. Within hybrids, the grain sorghum revealed the greatest dm content whereas the forage sorghum, as expected, was the richest in fibrous fraction content, followed by the sweet and grain genotypes (P<0.001). Consequently, values of GP were significantly (P<0.01) influenced by hybrid (167, 200, 215 ml/g DM and 229, 257, 267 ml/g DM for forage, sweet and grain genotypes after 24 and 48 h of incubation, respectively). The F × H interaction was significant for all considered parameters excluding dm, lignin, ash, ph, and in vitro parameters. on the two farms, in general, forage and grain genotypes were largely different, whereas the sweet sorghum was quite similar to the forage in one case or grain in the other. results of this experiment highlight the large variability of the nutritional values of sorghum hybrids grown in different conditions. Key words: sorghum hybrids, sorghum silage, in vitro degradability, in vitro gas production * Work financed by Veneto Agricoltura Agency.
