Effect of Particle Size of Corn Silage on Digestibility and Rumen Fermentation
Open accessAbstract
Corn in early dent stage, of three theoretical cuts of .62,1.27, and 1.91 cm was ensiled.Diets from each silage were balanced with other ingredients and fed to four mature sheep per diet in a completely randomized experiment to measure digestibility.In addition, each diet was fed to two mature fistulated dairy steers to determine effects on rumen fermentation.Digestibilities of dry matter were 71.8, 72.3, and 67.7% for the .62,1.27, and 1.91 cm silage diets.There were no significant differences in any digestibilities due to cut of silage except digestion of nitrogen-free extract was reduced on the 1.91-cm cut diet.Volatile fatty acid concentrations (umoles/ml of rumen fluid) for the same diets were 51, 80, 44 for acetate; 18, 23, 12 for propionate; and 10, 14, 7 for butyrate.For each acid the concentration on the 1.27 cm cut silage was highest, followed by the .62cm and 1.91 cm cut diets.

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.
