The Effects of Different Additives on the Fermentation and Physical Characteristics of Lenox Silage

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the effects of different additives on the fermentation and physical characteristics in Lenox Silage. For this purpose, Lenox sample was collected and chopped by using scissors. Then, Lenox was treated with 10% barley (B), 0.5% formic acid (FA), 5% sugar (S), and 5% molasses (M), respectively. Treated lenox samples with silage feed additives were ensiled in glass jar with 5 replicates for 90 days and, the silage was analyzed in terms of physical characteristics and fermentation pattern. The results revealed that the smell of Lenox silage in molasses and sugar group was significantly better in all other groups (P<0.05). No statistical difference was observed among all the groups in terms of structure and color value (P>0.05). Dry matter of the silage was significantly affected by addition of barley and molasses (P<0.05). Flieg point significantly increased by addition of molasses, but pH decreased (P<0.05). It was also found that ammonia-nitrogen/total nitrogen (NH3-N/TN) concentration of the silage ranged from 0.48 to 0.67% but the difference between them was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Based on the results, Lenox silage can be used as an alternative roughage in the field of animal nutrition and in the future studies.
