Use of acids as additives in sugarcane silage

Abstract: SummaryBackground: sugarcane silage often becomes a problem for the producers due to its high population of yeast and its high content of soluble carbohydrates. Objective: to evaluate the effect of formic and phosphoric acid on the chemical composition, fermentation characteristics, and digestibility of sugarcane silages. Methods: sugarcane was ensiled in experimental mini-silos. Five treatments were evaluated in the ensilage process (sugarcane added with 0.5 or 1% formic acid and 0.5 or 1% phosphoric acid, an… Show more

“…The crude protein content of sugar cane silage (13.36 %) was higher than that without the addition of inoculums (8) . Silage pH value reflected good fermentation (8) and was around to those reported in pure sugar cane and sugar cane plus 0.5 and 1 % of formic acid (32) .…”
