RESEARCH NOTE

Data from twenty-two experiments conducted at tour ADAS Research Centres during 1980–92 were used to compare untreated silages with silages treated with formic acid, with or without added formalin, commercial inoculants or molasses. The sillages were made from herbage whose dry-matter (DM) and water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) contents were 277 (s.e. 0.46) g DM kg⁻¹ and 36 (s.e. 8.1) g kg⁻¹ respectively. Inoculant use significantly decreased silage pH and ammonia-N, significantly increased lactic acid and total acid content, and decreased butyric acid and total short-chain fatty acids. Formic acid use significantly increased silage lactic acid and total acid content, and decreased butyric acid content, whereas formic acid+formalin significantly decreased silage ammonia-N level. Molasses had little effect upon silage fermentation. Improvements in silage fermentation, however, produced little benefit in terms of either silage DM intake or liveweight gain when the silages were offered to growing lambs.
It is suggested from the results that inoculant- and formic acid-based additives can be used to improve the fermentation of big-bale silages.     

The effect of an additive containing non-protein nitrogen on some fermentation characteristics of maize silage

A non-protein nitrogen additive containing ammonia, molasses and minerals was applied to precision-chopped forage maize to raise the crude protein content of the ensiled crop from approximately 8% to 10, 14 or 16%. The dry matter content, total nitrogen, water-insoluble nitrogen, and water-soluble nitrogen concentrations were measured at ensiling and 2 and 8 weeks later. The pH and lactic, acetic, propionic and butyric acid contents of the resultant silage were determined 2 and 8 weeks after ensiling. The levels of crude protein achieved were 10.8, 11.5 and 14.2%, which are equivalent to recoveries in the silages of 108, 82 and 89% of the applied nitrogen. After 8 weeks the water-insoluble nitrogen content of the treated silages had increased while the water-soluble nitrogen content had decreased. The increase in water-insoluble nitrogen may have been due to either decreased proteolysis or increased levels of microbial protein. There was a significant increase of 0.6 units in the pH of the silage when comparing the control to the highest rate of additive application. The additive increased the levels of lactic and acetic acid in the maize silage.     

A simulation model of the microbiological and chemical changes accompanying the initial stage of aerobic deterioration of silage

A mathematical model is presented that predicts the time-course of aerobic deterioration in grass and whole-crop maize silages. The model predicts the stability of the silage taking into account the buffering capacity of the silage, the initial contents of organic acids and ethanol, pH, the initial temperature and the initial populations of the microorganisms. The specific processes simulated include the growth of yeast and acetic acid bacteria, the oxidation of fermentation products, the consumption of oxygen and the production of carbon dioxide, the rise in temperature. and the increase in pH.
The deterioration of silage is seen to be initiated by acetic acid bacteria or by yeast, or by both groups together. The factors that determine which groups will prevail are the dry matter contents and the chemical composition of the silage. The output of the model is validated by comparison of the simulated data with data from published work on the deterioration of silage.     

Antimicrobial effects of mineral acids, organic acids, salts and sterilizing agents in relation to their potential as silage additives

Mineral acids, organic acids, salts and sterilizing agents were tested against a range of microorganisms at pH 4, 5 and 6. The antimicrobial spectra obtained revealed that hydrochloric, orthophosphoric, sulphuric and glycollic acids have no specific antimicrobial properties and merely function as acidifying agents. Acrylic acid, sulphamic acid and sodium formaldehyde bisulphite would apparently encourage a lactic acid-type fermentation by suppressing the growth of butyric acid-producing microorganisms. Chlorine dioxide and sodium metabisulphite are both antibacterial and of potential value for restricting silage fermentation Ammonium isobutyrate might find application in the production of a conventional fermented silage which is stable on exposure to air; it would appear particularly suited to silage made from wilted material. Sodium chloride apparently had no potential as a silage additive.     

The antimicrobial spectra of some salts of organic acids and glutaraldehyde in respect to their potential as silage additives

Salts of formic, acetic and propionic acids and glutaraldehyde were subjected to an assay with representatives of the major groups of silage micro-organisms at pH 4·0, 4·5, 5·0 and 6·0. The antimicrobial spectra of the salts suggested that they are most effective against the least desirable components of the bacterial flora of silage, coliforms, Clostridia and bacilli, and would create conditions for a desirable fermentation in practice. In many instances the activity of the salts was better than the corresponding free acid and it was postulated that, if supplemented with acid, aerobic stability of silage might also be improved. Glutaraldehyde, whilst being less selective as an antimicrobial agent, possesses properties which would encourage a lactic-acid fermentation in silage.     

The effect of processing on total organic acids content and mineral availability of simulated cassava-vegetable diets

Changes in pH, titratable acidity and mineral content (Ca, Fe, Mg, Zn) were estimated in processed cassava products while the mineral content of raw and blanched amaranthus vegetable was determined. pH of fresh cassava (6.5) decreased as total organic acid (0.07%) increased with fermentation period. Fufu and lafun had the lowest pH and the highest total organic acids contents. Fermentation of cassava increased the total calcium and iron contents, reduced magnesium level while zinc remained fairly constant in grated cassava but was reduced when soaked in water (for the preparation of fufu and lafun). Fermentation also increased the availability of these selected minerals in both cassva products and simulated cassava-vegetable diets. Blanching reduced the mineral content of amaranthus vegetable but increased mineral availability. Fermentation of cassava and blanching of vegetables play an important role in making minerals more available and these processing methods should be encouraged to potentially ameliorate the disease states associated with mineral deficiency.
