“…TTie lowest amounts of acetate, ammonia nitrogen and propionate were observed in silages that had been ensiled with barley. These observations are consistent with changes observed when barley was added to high-moisture grass silage (Anderson and Jackson, 1970;Jones, 1988;Moseley and Ramanathan, 1989;Offer and Al-Rwidah, 1989;Jones et al, 1990). Previous research has reported both increases and decreases in propionate when ground or rolled barley was added to grass silage (Anderson and Jackson, 1970;Moseley and Ramanathan, 1989;Offer and Al-Twidah, 1989).…”

“…Previous reports have shown that addition of cereal grains to wet forage can benefit overall silage management. The absorptive capacity of dry grain has proven to be effective in reducing effluent (Anderson and Jackson, 1970;Jones et al, 1990), improving forage fermentation (Anderson and Jackson, 1970;Jones, 1988;Moseley and Ramanathan, 1989;Offer and Al-Rwidah, 1989;Jones et al, 1990) and reducing dry matter (DM) losses in the silo (Anderson and Jackson, 1970;Jones et al, 1990). These observations have been made when cereal grain was added in either ground or rolled form.…”

The effect of adding rolled barley on the ensiling characteristics and nutritive value of luceme and com {Zea mays) forage was studied using 19-1 plastic mini-silos. Other factors evaluated with luceme were the effect of wilting and added lactic acid bacteria. Rolled barley was added at rates of 0, 50, 100 and 150gkg"' (wet weight) to luceme or com forage. Luceme was ensiled at 170-330 gkg"' dry matter (DM) and lactic acid bacteria were applied at lO'g"' wet forage. Addition of rolled barley consistently improved the fermentation of luceme by lowering the pH and decreasing the concentration of acetate and ammonia nitrogen. Wilting of luceme had variable effects on fermentation in two experiments. The addition of lactic acid bacteria improved fermentation by decreasing the concentrations of acetate and ammonia nitrogen, improved the nutritive value by increasing the in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), and was associated with decreased amounts of lactic acid. Com was ensiled at 250gkg-' DM, and added rolled barley had little effect on the fermentation of com silage. The digestibility of all silages determined in vitro was improved by the addition of rolled barley.

“…The material was ensiled in air-tight metal silos. The composition of the grass and silages have been reported previously (Anderson & Jackson, 19706). The mean barley meal contents in the dry matter eaten by the sheep were 0, 29-1 and 57-1 % respectively.…”

Experiments were carried out to assess the effect of the following diets: unwilted and wilted silage, barn-dried hay and wilted silage and ensiled mixtures of grass and barley on the ruminal VFA patterns in sheep.There was a tendency for the unwilted silage to result in a slightly higher level of rumen acetate and a lower level of propionate than grass, wilted silage or barn-dried hay. In two of the experiments (Exps. 2 and 4) significant direct relationships were found between rumen acetate and the crude-fibre content of the diets and significant inverse relationships were found between the rumen propionate and the crude-fibre content of the diets.Significant relationships were also found between the rumen acids and the metabolizable energy content of the diets and in Exp. 2 there was a significant relationship between the rumen acetate and the water-soluble carbohydrate content of the diet.The addition of barley meal to grass produced different ruminal VFA patterns in sheep fed the ensiled material and the resulting silage.2-9 % for acetate, propionate, butyrate and higher Relationships between the molar proportions of acids respectively in the rumen liquor of a cow fed volatile fatty acids (VFA's) present in the rumen 31-
