Fermentation characteristics and nutritional value of stored and fresh dairy cattle waste ensiled with crop residues
… tanks and dairy waste scraped from the barn were ensiled with ground corn stover, with and without the addition of 5% molasses, to achieve two dry matter levels of 30 and 35%. Fermentation, as measured by pH, lactic acid and disappearance of soluble carbohydrates, occurred in all silage mixtures. …

Fermentation, utilization and palatability of broiler litter ensiled at different moisture levels and with high moisture corn grain
… evaluated. Wood shaving based broiler litter was ensiled in small laboratory silos (about 4 liters) at moisture levels of 15.6 (no water added), 20, 30, 40 and 50%. Maximum fermentation was approached at 40% moisture as measured by silage pH and levels of lactic and acetic acids and water-soluble …

Fermentation, utilization, and palatability of swine waste ensiled with various proportions of ground orchardgrass hay or ground corn grain
… between diets. Swine waste was successfully ensiled with either orchardgrass hay or ground corn grain. Ensiling was an effective way to destroy many potential pathogens. Diets containing these silages were fed to both ruminants and nonruminants. The high levels of fiber in the swine …

Processing and nutritional value of poultry litter and slaughter house by-product
… 1.2 x 1.2 m bins at 15, 25 and 35% moisture, and ensiled at 40% moisture, alone or with 5% added molasses. Litter was also ensiled with rumen contents at ratios of 60:40 and 50:50, wet basis. For digestion and palatability trials, wethers were allotted to five diets: 1) basal alone, or basal and …
