Abstract

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the effects of a homolactic acid inoculant on ensiling characteristics and nutritive value of high dry matter (DM) alfalfa. The ensiling characteristics were determined by ensiling inoculated and untreated alfalfa haylage in mini‐silos for 0, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 45 days. Two lactating cows fitted with ruminal fistulas were used to determine ruminal degradabilities of nutrient in inoculated and untreated alfalfa silage (45‐day silage). Effects of feeding inoculated and untreated alfalfa silage on animal performance were determined using 28 lactating dairy cows fed total mixed diets (40% forage and 60% concentrate) with the forage portion consisting of inoculated or untreated alfalfa silage. The pH of the inoculated silage declined from 5.9 to 4.5 within 2 days of ensiling while the pH of the untreated silage did not drop below 5 until day 16 post‐ensiling. At all ensiling times, inoculated alfalfa silage had lower pH than untreated alfalfa silage. The concentration of lactic acid was higher while that of water‐soluble carbohydrates was lower for inoculated than untreated alfalfa silage at all ensiling times. Inoculation increased proteolysis as indicated by a reduction in true protein and neutral detergent insoluble protein and an increase in non‐protein nitrogen. Ruminal degradability of DM, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber of alfalfa silage were not affected by inoculation. The average effective degradability of dry matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber was 66, 65 and 62%, respectively. Dairy cows fed inoculated alfalfa silage had DM intake (average 22 kg day−1) and milk yield (average 42 kg day−1) similar to cows fed untreated alfalfa silage. It was concluded that the inoculant used in this study improved the ensiling characteristics of alfalfa silage with no significant effects on dairy cow performance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
