Abstract

Fermentation quality of lucerne laboratory silage treated with <i>Clostridium cellobioparum</i>, formic acid and Lactomix

Highlights

  • Previous experiments (Baranowski and Russel, 1993) indicate that inoculation of direct-cut meadow grass with cellulolytic bacteria culture Clostridium cellobioparum decreases fibre fraction content in silage when compared to untreated silage

  • Clostridium cellobioparum live cellulolytic bacteria culture added in a water suspension at the rate of 10 ml/kg (Cclb) - l x 106 g"1, IV

  • Clostridium cellobioparum bacteria culture - lxlO6 g"1 live cellulolytic bacteria culture added in a water suspension at the rate of 10 ml kg (Cclb) and Lactomix (LAC) - 1.5 g kg"1, V

Summary

Introduction

Previous experiments (Baranowski and Russel, 1993) indicate that inoculation of direct-cut meadow grass with cellulolytic bacteria culture Clostridium cellobioparum decreases fibre fraction content in silage when compared to untreated silage. The reduction in neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre (ADF) content, along with higher amounts of fermentation acids, is thought to occur due to the bacterial degradation of cell wall components and promotes the availability of a more fermentable substrates. RUSSEL experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of adding C. cellobioparum culture on silage fermentation in relation to other additives
