“…Treatments A and C had pH values within the recommended rate. This is in line with the report of Leterme et al (1992) who recorded an increase in silage pH when pressed sugarbeet pulp was ensiled with molasses and urea, laying hen excreta or soybean meal and relates such increase to buffering capacity as a result of ash and ammonia from the uric acid hydrolysis. However treatment with Urea have higher pH values (Treatment B and D) even though Akinwande et al (2013) also obtained a pH value of 9.26 when Water Hyacinth was ensiled without additives.…”

The experiment was conducted to examine the physical properties, pH, temperature, proximate composition, fibre fraction, energy content and mineral composition of ensiled rice milling waste (RMW) treated with urea and poultry litter in a completely randomized design. RMW was treated with of Urea and Poultry Litter (PL) and ensiled in in-vitro laboratory silos (946ml). The treatment combinations were; A (100%RMW), B (100%RMW+ Urea), C (80%RMW + 20%PL), and D (60%RMW + 40%PL). The treatments were ensiled for 21 days in triplicates. At the expiration of each ensiling period, samples were taken for analyses. The results for physical properties showed that most of the silages were adequately fermented with sweet aroma. The compounded silages were acidic 4.34 – 4.86 except treatments B and D which had pH of 7.96 and 7.91 respectively. The temperatures of the silages were significantly (P<0.05) different. Based on the physical properties, pH and temperature evaluated, most of the silages can be considered to be well prepared. The proximate composition of silages differ significantly (P<0.05), higher percentages in CF and Ash were recorded in Treatment A. Dry matter content was also significantly different (P<0.05) with treatment A having the highest DM (97.19%). The CP in treatment D (6.13%) proved superior. RMW and Urea mixtures resulted in silages with highest %NDF, %HEM and Energy. Lowest NDF, ADF, CEL and ADL values were obtained in treatment D. The nutritive quality of treatment D was proved to be higher and thus it is recommended for dry season ruminant feeding.

“…All the DPB added silages in this study had pH values in range of 3.85-3.93, which are the embraced by values (3.8-4.2) of good-quality silages formerly stated (Leterme et al 1992). Tannins and phenolic monomers possess antimicrobial activity on both cellulolytic and proteolytic bacteria (Goel et al 2005).…”

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of adding different levels of pistachio by-product (PB) on the fermentation quality, nutritive value and in vitro methane (CH 4 ) production of corn silage. For this purpose, silages were prepared in the 1.5 l glass jars by adding with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% pistachio PB (as a dry matter basis). The results showed that addition of 6%, 8% and 10% pistachio PB levels decreased (P < 0.05) silage acetic acid content. Increment of pistachio PB level increased (P < 0.05) silage propionic acid content, but it decreased (P < 0.05) ammonia nitrogen values. Addition of all levels of pistachio PB decreased (P < 0.05) gas production (from 251.70 to 196.76 ml/g dry matter (DM)), in vitro organic matter digestibility (from 70.26% to 61.62%) and metabolizable energy (from 9.69% to 8.27 MJ/kg DM) values. Similarly, increment-level pistachio PB decreased (P < 0.05) of in vitro methane production level. As a result, pistachio PB might have a potential usage value as silage additive when undesired ruminal methane production is aimed to be suppressed by ruminant. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…All these actions increase silage mass by means of both a reduction in respiration and fermentation, and increased acidity and palatability, and, moreover, a decrease in undesired fermentation of molds and Clostridium spp. [ 70 ]. In addition, the health and welfare status of the animals, the quality of livestock products (milk in particular) and breeder profit will be enhanced.…”

In the past fifty years, agriculture, and particularly livestock production, has become more resource-intensive, with negative implications regarding world environmental status. Currently, the circular economy 3R principles (to reduce, reuse and recycle materials) can offer many opportunities for the agri-food industry to become more resource-efficient. The closed-loop agri-food supply chain has the great potential of reducing environmental and economic costs, which result from food waste disposal. To meet these principles, the use of crop byproducts, such as molasses, in animal nutrition improves the nutritive value of coarse and poorly desired feedstuff, which could present a real opportunity. The aims of this study were to summarize the possible applications of molasses for animal nutrition, to improve hay and silage quality for beef and dairy cattle, to enhance industrial byproduct values using liquid feed in swine production, and to improve extensive livestock production with feed blocks. The study focused on both feed characteristics, based on molasses, and on ruminal fermentation of its carbohydrates; the techniques of the production, conservation and administration of molasses to animals have been widely described as being capable of positively influencing animal performance, milk and meat quality.
