Abstract

The ensiling potential of 10 tropical forage legumes and one Brachiaria grass hybrid with dry matter (DM) ranging from 260 to 540g/kg fresh matter (FM), and the effect of 4 treatments (Control, 20g/kgFM sucrose, native Lactobacillus plantarum inoculant, L. plantarum +20g/kgFM sucrose) on the fermentation quality of their silages after 92d storage were assessed at laboratory scale. Best silage qualities were achieved with high DM Clitoria ternatea (542g/kgFM), while worst silages resulted from Centrosema brasilianum (259gDM/kgFM), especially without sugar addition. In general, both additives increased lactic acid production while dropping the pH (P<0.001). High acidification was also correlated with restricted NHâ-N formation (14 to 68g/kg of total N in the combined treatment). Butyric acid concentrations ranged from 0 to 18g/kgDM except for C. brasilianum silages (30g/kgDM in Control, 25g/kgDM in L. plantarum only treatment). No clear effect of treatment could be observed for this parameter. The fermentability coefficient predicted quite well the silage quality for a couple of materials, but not consistently overall. As nitrate was scarce in all plant materials (<2.1g/kg DM), some clostridial activity was probably favored. Acetic acid concentrations were very low (acetic+propionic acid 0 to 18g/kg DM) except for Vigna unguiculata silages (22 to 53g/kg DM). All silages were regarded as aerobically stable during the 4-d period of temperature measurement, except for the Lablab purpureus silages treated with the combined additive. Further research is needed on suitable native lactic acid bacteria strains for tropical forage silages to select the most suitable inoculants for differing forage species and conditions, for improving silage quality. Legume silages in particular can provide a valuable source of protein for improved animal production, which represents a livelihood of many smallholders in the tropical belt.

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.
