Interaction effect of silo density and additives on the fermentation quality, microbial counts, chemical composition and in vitro degradability of rice straw silage
Abstract
This research evaluated the effect of molasses (M), cellulosic enzymes (E) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) alone or in combination (M + LAB and E + LAB) on the fermentation quality, microbial counts, chemical composition and in vitro degradability of rice straw silages in different silo densities (200, 300, 400 and 500 kg/m 3). The M or E groups alone increased the dry matter (DM) losses at low silo densities. Acetic acid produced by LAB-related groups significantly inhibited yeast and mould at the silo density of 300 kg/m 3. Under high silo densities (>400 kg/m 3), LAB-related additives significantly improved the fermentation quality and reduced the DM losses. The use of E + LAB further improved the in vitro degradability of rice straw silages at high silo densities. In conclusion, higher silo density and appropriate complex additives were of great significance to improve the quality of rice straw silage.

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.
