This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the addition of two L. buchneri strains on the aerobic stability of the Mombaça grass silages. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with three replicates in split-plot in time scheme, so that the treatments (silages without inoculant and with experimental or commercial inoculants) were randomized on plot and in times of aerobic evaluation of the silages (0, 2, 8, and 10 days after the opening of the silos) […]

Two experiments with a total of 120 weanling pigs (21 to 56 d of age) were conducted to evaluate the effects of antimicrobials and herbal extracts on intestinal microbiota (experiment 1) and on fecal score (experiments 1, 2 and 3). Pigs were allotted in pairs (pens with a barrow and a female) to a randomized complete block design 12 replications of five treatments. Treatments consisted of: control – basal diet; antimicrobial – basal diet plus Zn bacitracin, olaquindox, and colistin […]

The experiment was carried out to evaluate the fermentation characteristics, Listeria sp. and molds occurrence on Tifton 85 silage no wilted, wilted for one and two hours and no wilted with or without citrus pulp (5.0 % of fresh forage). The samplings were taken at the opening of the silos (80 days after ensiling), 15, and 30 days after air exposition to evaluated dry matter (DM) content, chemical changes (pH, ammonia N, organic acids) and Listeria sp., and molds occurrence.
