“…Although the lactic acid, acetic acid and ethanol contents in the TMR silages in the present study were markedly lower than those in the simple AP silage reported by Alibes et al (1984), our data indicate that when AP was mixed with other materials during silage preparation, the ethanol and lactic acid contents showed a reverse change as the proportion of AP increased. The highest lactic acid content and the highest ethanol content were found in the LAP and HAP TMR silages, respectively.…”

Four Japanese black beef cows were used in a 4 × 4 Latin square to evaluate the fermentation quality, digestibility, ruminal fermentation and preference of total mixed ration (TMR) silages prepared with differing proportions of apple pomace (AP). Experimental treatments were the control (no AP added, CAP), 5% (low, LAP), 10% (medium, MAP) and 20% (high, HAP) of TMR dry matter (DM) as AP. All TMR silages were well preserved. Ethanol was produced in silages containing AP and the amount increased with the proportion of AP (P < 0.05). Nutrient digestibility with LAP, MAP and HAP treatment was lower than that with CAP treatment (P < 0.05). The ruminal molar proportion of acetic acid increased (P < 0.05), but the ruminal ammonia-N concentration decreased (P < 0.05) as the proportion of AP increased. The preference of the animals was highest for HAP, followed by MAP, CAP and LAP. This study demonstrates that decrease in nutrient digestibility might be related to the ethanol produced naturally from AP. Therefore, the proportion of AP in TMR silages should be less than 5% of dietary DM.

“…when ensiling dried apple pomace with wilted alfalfa (100 g dried apple pomace kg −1 wilted alfalfa). Although lactic acid concentrations of silages are dependent on their moisture content, values obtained in the present study are much higher than those observed by Alibes et al . when ensiling apple pomace and barley straw, but are within the range of values reported by Ke et al .…”

“…For example, the complementary composition of AP (low protein concentration) (Alibes et al, 1984;NRC, 2001;Pirmohammadi et al, 2006) and TP (high protein content) (Fondevila et al, 1994;Del Valle et al, 2006;Gasa et al, 1989;Weiss et al, 1997) is suggested. In other words, these by products are proposed to be used together.…”

The effect of ensiled mixed tomato and apple pomace on Holstein dairy cow

et al. 2010

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of replacing alfalfa hay with ensiled mixed tomato and apple pomace (EMTAP) on ruminal fermentation, blood metabolites, chewing activity and apparent digestibility of diets. Six multiparous mid-lactating Holstein dairy cows were used in 3×3 Latin square design. The animals were fed with a control (0%EMTAP) and two different levels of EMTAP (15, 30%) containing diets. Results showed significant differences between treatments. The substitution of EMTAP in dairy cow’s diet was associated with a reduction of chewing activity, better DM and OM digestibility and higher blood metabolites concentration. Feeding EMTAP resulted in a significant higher concentration of acetic, propionic acids, and total volatile fatty acids in rumen, and lower rumen pH. It was concluded that, EMTAP might efficiently comprise up to 30% of the diets. The nutritive value of tomato and apple pomace could be improved when they are used together (50:50) in dairy cows diet
