“…In studies in sheep fed on grass silage, the DM intake was positively correlated with the DM content and percentage of total organic acids to lactic acid, and was negatively correlated with the acetic acid content and NH 3 -N ratio [40]- [42]. Similar results were obtained in a study of cattle fed on grass silage [43]. In the present study, the DM, TDN, and DE intakes in the SI and HI treatments were improved.…”

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of potassium fertilizer (standard (S) and high (H) levels) on water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) content of timothy (Phleum pratense L.), silage fermentation, nutritive values, and nutrient intake. The silage treatments were as follows: S level without inoculant (SC), S level plus inoculant (SI), H level without inoculant (HC), and H level plus inoculant (HI). The K content was increased by 14.5% in timothy grown with the H levelcompared with the S level. The WSC contents of the S and H treatments were 75.9 and 66.1 g•kg −1 dry matter (DM), respectively. The silage fermentation quality was low with both SC and HC treatments. The addition of inoculant significantly improved the fermentation quality in SI and HI treatments. The addition increased the DM and organic matter digestibilities of silage. The total digestible nutrient (TDN) content of silage was highest with the HI treatment. The DM, TDN, and digestible energy intakes with the SI and HI treatments were improved compared with the SC and * Corresponding author. P. Wang et al. 1031 HC treatments, respectively. This study demonstrated negligible effects of K fertilizer levels and significant effects of the lactic acid bacteria inoculant on the fermentation quality, nutritive values, and feed intake of silage.
