The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of chemical additives on the fermentative dynamics and chemical composition of sugarcane silages. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete design with five replications. Sugarcane was ensiled without additives or with calcium oxide and limestone (1% as-fed basis) constituing three treatments. The fermentative dynamic was analyzed based on gas losses, organic acids and ethanol production and, silages chemical composition. The calcium oxide and limestone treatments showed the lowest values […]
