Silage review: Recent advances and future uses of silage additives

Richard E. Muck, +5 more
- 01 May 2018 - 
TL;DR: Research indicates that these products are improving aerobic stability, but feeding studies are not yet sufficient to make conclusions about effects on animal performance, so future silage additives are expected to directly inhibit clostridia and other detrimental microorganisms, mitigate high mycotoxin levels on harvested forages during ensiling.

Ensiling characteristics, structural and nonstructural carbohydrate composition and enzymatic digestibility of Napier grass ensiled with additives

Seare T. Desta, +3 more
- 01 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: In summery the ensiling quality structural and nonstructural carbohydrate and ED value of mature Napier grass silage improved through additives.

Effect of additives on fatty acid profile of high moisture alfalfa silage during ensiling and after exposure to air

Q.H. Liu, +2 more
- 01 Feb 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the changes of total fatty acid (FA) content and fatty acid composition in high moisture alfalfa (DM = −229g/kg fresh weight) silage treated without (Control) or with Lactobacillus buchneri (LB), L. plantarum (LP), propionic acid additive (PA), and tea polyphenols (TP) during ensiling and after exposure to air.

Effects of chitosan and whole raw soybeans on ruminal fermentation and bacterial populations, and milk fatty acid profile in dairy cows.

Filipe Zanferari, +8 more
- 20 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: Evidence indicates that supplementing diets with unsaturated fat sources along with chitosan negatively affects nutrient intake and digestibility of cows, resulting in less milk production and diet supplementation with CHI or WRS can improve feed efficiency and increases unsaturated FA concentration in milk of dairy cows.

Meta‐analysis of the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus buchneri on fermentation, chemical composition and aerobic stability of sugarcane silage

Carlos Henrique Silveira Rabelo, +3 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of Lactobacillus plantarum and Buchneri on the fermentation, chemical composition, and aerobic stability of sugarcane silage.

- 01 Jun 1963 - 
TL;DR: A simple technique for the determination in vitro of the dry- or organic-matter digestibility of small (0·5 g) samples of dried forages is described, which involves incubation first with rumen liquor and then with acid pepsin.

Antibacterial activity of chitosans and chitosan oligomers with different molecular weights.

Hong Kyoon No, +3 more
- 25 Mar 2002 - 
TL;DR: Antibacterial activities of chitosan was inversely affected by pH (pH 4.5-5.9 range tested), with higher activity at lower pH value, and bactericidal effects with gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria in the presence of 0.1% chitOSan.
