Performance of Dairy Cattle on Wilted Formic Acid Silages

The effect of formic acid and urea phosphate-calcium propionate on amino acids in wheat silage

“…In the experiments described here, FA reduced ammonia N production during ensiling and in the AS. This is in agreement with the findings of Derbyshire et al (1976) and Lancaster et al (1977) that FA increased energy recovery, reduced fermentation acids, and decreased protein degradation. Crawshaw et al (1980) reported the inhibitory effect of FA on aerobic deterioration in the AS and on ammonia N production.…”
