Implications of the ability of Enterococcus spp. to survive the ensiling process and bovine gastrointestinal tract on the risk of bovine mastitis
… the ability of Enterococcus spp. surviving the ensiling process and bovine gastrointestinal tract could impact risk of bovine mastitis. The first study determined ability of enterococci to survive 3 wk ensiling. Grass and corn crops were divided into 3 treatments: 2 commercial silage inoculants, …

Fermentation characteristics, nutritional value and palatability of ensiled seafood wastes and low quality roughages
… Johnsongrass with and without molasses. After ensiling, average pH for mixtures with fish waste was 6.5, compared to 8.0 for mixtures with crab waste. Addition of dry molasses resulted in a decrease (P <.01) of pH to 5.6 for the ensiled fish mixture but had no effect on the crab waste mixtures. …

Fermentation, utilization, and palatability of swine waste ensiled with various proportions of ground orchardgrass hay or ground corn grain
The feasibility of ensiling swine waste (primarily feces) with ground orchardgrass hay or with ground corn grain was determined by mixing and ensiling the following proportions of each (as is basis): 80:20, 70;30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70 and 20:80. In the swine waste-orchardgrass hay trials, …

An Ultrastructural Study of Fresh and Ensiled Alfalfa Using the Light and Transmission Electron Microscope
… prior to cutting and after 17 and 51 days of ensiling. Leaf and stem tissue were separated and immediately placed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde followed by 1% osmium textroxide for fixation. Following acetone dehydration, samples were embedded in Spurr plastic for examination under the light (LM) and …

Milk fat response to chopped and ground hay when added to or ensiled with corn silage and fed in complete rations to dairy cows
… at 12.5% of the total forage dry matter before ensiling (CE and GE). Chopped or ground hay was also added to the control silage at the same rate prior to feeding (CA and GA). Silages were supplemented to contain 14% crude protein and 1.67 Mcal/kg on a dry matter basis and fed as a total mixed …

Processing and nutritional value of poultry litter and slaughter house by-product
… by; 2) deep stacking at 15% moisture; 3) ensiling; 4) ensiling with 5% molasses; and 5) basal and ensiled rumen contents and litter (50:50, wet basis). Freshly collected rumen contents and blood, mixed in proportions of 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1, wet basis, were ensiled with wheat straw (60:40) …

Methods of preserving and enhancing fermentation and nutritional value of caged layer waste-wheat straw silages fed to sheep
… or chemically-treated wastes. Adding molasses at ensiling reduced pH and increased lactic acid. Digestibilities of organic matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber were lower (P<.05) for the diet containing silage made from untreated waste, compared to diets containing silage made from …

Fermentation, utilization and palatability of broiler litter ensiled at different moisture levels and with high moisture corn grain
The feasibility of ensiling broiler litter alone, with added water or with high moisture corn grain was 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 …

Fermentation characteristics and nutritional value of stored and fresh dairy cattle waste ensiled with crop residues
… dairy waste and crop residues to achieve good ensiling. Slurry waste that had been accumulated in slurry storage 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 characteristics and nutritional value of different proportions of alfalfa and wheat straw ensiled with and without different additives
… in alfalfa. The WSC decreased (P < .01) after ensiling. Microbial inoculant did not affect pH or lactic acid content in the silages. In vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) increased (P < .01) linearly with level of alfalfa, and molasses increased (P < .01) IVDMD. In experiment 2, chopped …

From field to rumen: foliar fungicide application on corn and its effects on the corn plant, corn silage, and Holstein cow performance
… P = 0.03). In part two, the effect of treatment, ensiling time, and treatment by ensiling time was evaluated on a laboratory scale. Samples of the chopped corn were collected at harvest, prepared as 0.9-kg silos, and vacuumed sealed (28 × 36 cm). Chopped corn ensiled for 0 d was frozen on the day …
