Cows fed corn silage inoculated with or without LAB did not differ in ruminal ammonia N.
“Bayatkouhsar et al. (2011)also found no differences in the ruminal ammonia N (average of 15.85 mg/dL) of cows fed corn silage inoculated with or without LAB.”
From Effects of feeding corn silage inoculated with microbial additives on the ruminal fermentation, microbial protein yield, and growth performance of lambs1 (2014) · cites this paper as Bayatkouhsar et al. (2011)
Lactating dairy cows had greater intake of corn silage inoculated with a microbial additive, but their milk production was unaffected.
“In contrast, Bayatkouhsar et al. (2011) found greater intake of corn silage inoculated with microbial additive by lactating dairy cows, but milk production was not affected.”

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.
