“…The lowest pH was found out in experimental silage made of pressed sugar-beet Table 1 pulp treated with KEM preservative in the dose of 6 l/t (3.66 ± 0.01). These data are in agreement with results published by Moore and Kennedy (1994). The application of KEM corroborated the statement published by Baintner et al (1983), who observed that a combination of organic acids strengthened the synergic effect, decreased the pH value and improved the bactericidal effect of additives.…”

“…and accounted only for 20.91% and 31.58%, resp., of all acids. These results corresponded with data published by O'Kiely (1992) and Moore and Kennedy (1994), who observed a marked decrease in production of VFA, LA, ammonia and alcohol after the application of formic acid as an additive into the experimental silages. The regression analysis of the effects of different concentrations of chemical preservatives on the total production of fermentation acids (and/or LA) revealed a very close linear relationship between the dependent and independent variables.…”

This study deals with effects of pressing of ensiled sugar-beet pulp and of application of a chemical preservative on the quality of fermentation process. The experimental silages had a better sensory evaluation than the control ones. In silages treated chemically with a mixture of acids, statistically significantly (P < 0.01) higher dry matter content, lowest pH value, the value of lactic acid and the lowest content of all acids in dry matter were found after 180 days of storage from the beginning of the experiment. The statistically significantly (P < 0.01) highest lactic acid content (43.39 ± 1.25 g/kg DM) was determined in the control pressed silage. The highest LA/VFA ratio (1.40 ± 0.18) was calculated for non-pressed experimental silage (D -3 l/t of KEM). As compared with untreated control the highest percentage (P < 0.01) of lactic acid and of all fermentation acids was found out in silage D treated with 3 l/t of KEM (58.18 ± 0.47 g/kg DM). Undesirable butyric and propionic acids were not found in chemically treated silage samples (C, D, E, F). However, the highest (P < 0.01) contents of butyric acid (26.37 ± 0.91 g/DM) and propionic acid (4.58 ± 0.78 g/DM) were measured in untreated non-pressed silage samples (B). The highest (P < 0.01) contents of acetic acid and ethanol were found in control silage samples. The quality of these silages was evaluated as very low.

“…Conversely, in this study, as ground corn was added to the cabbage, its moisture-absorption capacity decreased (0.82, 0.71, 0.65, 0.69, and 0.68 g of moisture per gram of ground corn added at 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 g kg -1 of cabbage, respectively). Normally other products like citrus and beet pulp are used as an additive for grass silages due to their high capacity to absorb moisture and high WSC content, respectively (Moore and Kennedy, 1994;Bernardes et al, 2005). However, the use of a starch-rich source (i.e., ground corn) seems more appropriate for diets used in the ruminant and monogastrics nutrition aiming to reduce costs associated with animal feeding.…”

“…There are conflicting data in the literature regarding the effect of molasses on N concentration of silage. Some researchers reported that the addition of molasses to silage increased the N concentration of silages (Lattemae et al, 1985;Kennedy, 1990;Baytok et al, 2005), others did not observe an effect (Spoelstra et al, 1990;O'Kiely 1992;Van Niekerk et al, 2007) while some reported a decrease in the N concentration of silages (Moore & Kennedy, 1994). In this study molasses…”

Silages made from directly cut or wilted Digitaria eriantha treated with or without molasses were evaluated to determine fermentative characteristics. The grass was harvested at the boot stage of growth and the material was ensiled in 1 kg mini-silos. Treatments were arranged in a factorial design of two moisture levels (directly cut or wilted) and two molasses addition (with or without molasses). Each treatment was ensiled in 12 separate bottles. The pH of molasses added silage declined faster than the pH of silage without molasses. The pH of unwilted silages continued to decline up to day 120 post ensiling compared to wilted treatments. Lactic acid concentration was higher for molasses added silage than those made without molasses at all ensiling times, and also higher for directly cut silage than those wilted prior to ensiling. In direct cut silages, acetic acid concentration was lower for molasses added silage than those made without molasses at all ensiling times. In both silages, with or without molasses, the acetic acid concentrations were significantly higher for unwilted silage than silage wilted prior to ensiling. The ammonia nitrogen (NH 3 -N) as percentage of total nitrogen (N) was higher in unwilted silage than prior wilted silage without molasses, while in the presence of molasses the effect of wilting on NH 3 -N as percentage of total N was not significant.
