Eight ¾ Indubrazil/Holstein heifers, averaging 160 kg, were assigned to 4 x 4 latin squares, during four periods of 21 days, 15 days of adaptation and six days of samples collection. The animals were fed a diet with 60:40 roughage:concentrate (DM basis), using as roughage sorghum silage, ensiled with DM content of 30%, and as concentrate, corn and soybean meal, with 15.6% crude protein. The treatments were: T1 – control (silage without additive), T2 – silage treated with 2.5% sodium […]

An experiment was conducted using elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) cv. Cameroon, with the purpose of determining the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of effluent released, correlating this with levels of pressure and the quality of silage. The material with 13% of dry matter was ensiled in experimental plastic silos. The levels of pressure were: 356.67; 446.67; 531.33; 684.00 and 791.00 kg/m3. The effluent of silages with high moisture content was collected and measured during seven days. In silages with high […]
