Abstract
Effects of Lactat Acid Bacteria Inoculan and Additive on Quality and Characteristics of Brown Midrib Sorghum Mutant Line Silage (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench)
Highlights
Forage is basic feed of ruminant cattle consumed more than 70% of total ration (Abdullah, 2014)
This study has shown there is no interaction (P>0.05) of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation and additive addition on nutritional content (DM, crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), EE and ash) of silage of BMR sorghum mutant line Patir 3.7
LAB addition does not give significant effect (P>0.05) on dry matter content (DM) increase.The second major finding was that no interaction between factor A (LAB addition) and factor B on fiber faction content
Summary
Forage is basic feed of ruminant cattle consumed more than 70% of total ration (Abdullah, 2014). Forage must be included in ruminant ration because of lower forage production cost than concentrate and more eco-friendly to develop sustainable livestock industry. The availability of sustainable forage is still a problem because of season. To overcome the fluctuation of fodder forage, preservation of forage can be done when the production level is high, by implementing fermentation technology. One of fermentation implementations is ensilage process to produce silage. Silage is a preservation procedure of forage in anaerobic condition to make healthy fodder forage needed by ruminant cattle when this forage is not available, especially in winter season (Saricicek et al, 2016)
