Natamycin as a Potential Silage Additive: A Lab Trial Using Sugarcane to Assess Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Open accessAbstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate natamycin, Lactobacillus buchneri (LB), or their combination on the chemical composition, loss, fermentative profile, and aerobic stability as well as gas production and composition of sugarcane silages. The treatments were (wet basis): no additive (control), 10 g t−1 of natamycin (N10), 5 × 104 cfu g−1 of LB, and the combination of 4 g t−1 of natamycin and 2.5 × 104 cfu g−1 of LB (NLB). Sugarcane was chopped (10 mm), [...]

Lower ash levels in inoculated silages are possibly related to consumption of plant cell wall constituents by stimulated metabolism of inoculated bacteria, favored in silages with higher moisture content.
“Likewise, the lower ash levels in treated silages are possibly related to the consumption of plant cell wall constituents by the stimulated metabolism of inoculated bacteria [18,30,32], and the extent of this breakage is likely favored in silages with higher moisture content [34].”

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.
