试验旨在研究氨基酸副产物（amino acid by-products,ABP）对全株红高粱和全株甜玉米发酵品质及消化率的影响,并通过扫描电镜（SEM）探讨ABP对青贮饲料发酵品质及消化率的作用机制。试验设无添加剂的对照组和添加2.0% ABP的试验组Ⅰ、2.0% ABP与饲用菌混合添加的试验组Ⅱ,分别进行红高粱和甜玉米的发酵试验,检测其发酵品质及消化率。结果表明：①试验组Ⅰ红高粱和甜玉米青贮pH降至3.90和3.28,感官评定均属于优质青贮饲料。②对于红高粱青贮,与对照组相比,试验组干物质（DM）含量略有提高,但差异不显著（P>0.05）,粗蛋白质（CP）含量显著高于对照组（P<0.05）,试验组Ⅱ纤维成分略低于对照组,但差异不显著（P>0.05）;各试验组乳酸和乙酸含量显著高于对照组（P<0.05）,试验组Ⅱ丁酸含量显著低于其余组（P<0.05）;试验组干物质和中性洗涤纤维（NDF）消化率均高于对照组,但差异不显著（P>0.05）,酸性洗涤纤维（ADF）消化率显著高于对照组（P<0.05）。③对于甜玉米青贮,各试验组干物质和纤维含量均低于对照组,但差异不显著（P>0.05）,粗蛋白质含量显著高于对照组（P<0.05）;试验组Ⅰ乳酸含量显著高于其余组（P<0.05）,试验组Ⅱ乙酸含量显著高于其余组（P<0.05）,而各试验组丁酸含量显著高于对照组（P<0.05）;试验组各养分消化率均低于对照组但高于未发酵原料,其中干物质和酸性洗涤纤维消化率差异显著（P<0.05）。④SEM结果表明,青贮过程中ABP通过破坏红高粱表面蜡质层促进饲用菌的黏附,并降解其细胞壁纤维成分而改善了青贮发酵品质并提高消化率;但ABP对青贮甜玉米蜡质层及细胞壁纤维结构破坏作用不明显。综上,添加ABP可提高红高粱青贮的发酵品质和养分消化率,但对甜玉米青贮的作用不大。     

Effects of Amino Acid By-products on Fermentation Quality and Digestibility of Silage

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of amino acid by-products(ABP) on fermentation quality and digestibility of red sorghum and sweet corn,and explore the mechanism of action by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).There was a control group without additives,an experimental group Ⅰ with 2.0% ABP,and an experimental group Ⅱ with 2.0% ABP mixed with forage fungus for red sorghum and sweet corn,respectively.The results showed that:①2.0% ABP reduced the pH of red sorghum and sweet corn silage to 3.90 and 3.28 respectively,and they were belonged to the high-quality silage range by sensory evaluations.②For the red sorghum silage,compared with the control group,the dry matter (DM) contents of the experimental groups were slightly increased,but the difference were not significant (P>0.05),while the crude protein (CP) contents were significantly increased (P<0.05).The fiber content of the experimental group Ⅱ was slightly lower than the control group,but the difference was not significant (P>0.05).The lactic acid and acetic acid contents of experimental groups were significantly higher than that of control groups (P<0.05).The content of butyric acid in experimental group Ⅱ was significantly lower than that of the other groups (P<0.05).The dry matter and neutral washing fiber (NDF) digestibilities of the experimental groups were higher than the control group,but the difference were not significantly (P>0.05),and acidic washing fiber(ADF) digestibility was significantly higher than control group (P<0.05).③ For sweet corn silage,the dry matter and fiber contents of experimental groups were lower than those in the control group,but the differences were not significant (P>0.05),the crude protein content was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05).The lactic acid content of the experimental group Ⅰ was significantly higher than the other groups (P<0.05),the acetic acid content of experimental group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of the other groups (P<0.05),and the butyric acid content of each experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05).The digestibilities of the experimental groups were lower than the control group but higher than the raw materials,and the differences of dry matter and acid washing fiber digestibilities were significant (P<0.05).④SEM results showed that ABP promoted the adhesion of forage bacteria by destroying the waxy layer on the surface of red sorghum silage,and degraded the cell wall fiber components to improve the quality of the silage fermentation and improve the digestibility during the silage process.But the destructive effect of ABP on sweet corn silage was not obvious.In conclusion,the addition of ABP could improve the fermentation quality and digestibility of red sorghum,but the effect on sweet corn silage was not obvious.

Six experimental diets were formulated having 100% maize silage (MS), maize silage and concentrate as 50:50 (MSC), 100% sorghum silage (SS), sorghum silage and concentrate as 50:50 (SSC), 100% millet silage (MiS) and millet silage and concentrate as 50:50 (MiSC), respectively. For this purpose, 24 Sipli lambs were randomly allotted to six experimental diets in a completely randomized design for 90 days, four lambs per diet. The results indicated that among various silage diets, lambs fed MS diet consumed higher dry matter (DM) than those fed SS and MiS diets. Likewise, lambs offered MSC had higher dry matter intake than those fed SSC and MiSC diets. Crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fibre (NDF) consumed by the lambs also followed the similar trend. Higher DM, CP and NDF digestibilities were also observed in lambs fed MS and MSC diets than those fed SS, SSC, MiS and MiSC diets. Overall digestibilities of DM, CP and NDF were higher in experimental diets containing silage with concentrate. Lambs fed MS diet had 2.79 g/day and 4.45 g/day higher N retention than those fed SS and MiS, respectively. Similarly, lambs fed MSC diet had 2.24 g/day and 5.12 g/day higher N retention than those fed SSC and MiSC diets, respectively. The results showed that lambs fed MSC gained more daily weight gain had better feed conversion ratio than those fed MS, SS, SSC, MiS and MiSC diets. The findings of the present study indicated that lambs fed MSC diet had higher nutrients intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance and weight gain.     

Dry Matter Intake and Apparent Digestibility of Nutrients in the Ration of Mangalarga Marchador Weanling Horses Fed Sorghum Silage Versus Grass Hay

In central Brazil, there are two well-defined climatic periods, the rain and the dry season, the latter being marked by massive forage shortages in pastures. In this context, forage conservation such as making hay and silage for herbivores is imperative during the dry season. Grass hay is most commonly used for horses, but sorghum silage is often used for ruminants. The objective was to compare the nutrient digestibility, fecal production, and dry matter intake (DMI) of sorghum silage (Sorghum bicolor l. Moench CV. BRS 655) to that of vaquero hay (Cynodon CV. 90160 CD × CV. Mirage). Twelve Mangalarga Marchador fillies (8 months of age) were divided into two groups: S (sorghum silage, n = 6) and F (vaquero hay, n = 6). The ration was formulated to supply 3.0% body weight in dry matter (DM) per day, with a forage:concentrate ratio of 50:50 on a DM basis. The concentrate used was a corn-based ration formulated to meet or exceed requirements for growth when fed at 1.5% body weight DM to young horses. The animals were housed in individual stalls (3 × 3m) for a period of 25 days, with 21 days for adaptation, followed by 4 days of total collection of feces. During the collection period, an external marker of digestibility, Purified and Enriched Lignin (LIPE), was added to the concentrate as an external marker to determine the apparent digestibility coefficients of DM, crude protein, gross energy, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, hemicelluloses, and cellulose. The forage DMI was calculated by subtracting the quantity supplied at each meal minus the amount of forage that was not eaten by the next meal (orts). The measures of digestibility of the sorghum silage were not different (P > .05) from that of vaquero hay. However, DMI of the sorghum silage was lower (P < .05) than the vaquero hay and may be of concern if fed for prolonged periods of time and not supplemented with carefully balanced concentrates. Purified and Enriched Lignin can be used as a marker for evaluation of digestibility of nutrients in weanling horses.     

Comparison of feed intake, digestibility and fattening performance of Brahman grade cattle (Bos indicus) and crossbred water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Twenty growing crossbred cattle and crossbred water buffalo (carabao) with an average age of 22 (18–24 months) months were equally distributed into two treatment groups according to species. The animals were fed with the same ration made up of corn silage (50%) + wet brewer's spent grain (30%) + concentrate mixture (20%), and their fattening performance was monitored. The digestibilities of the different nutrients were likewise determined. The economics of raising the animals under intensive production system was calculated. Species differences did not influence total dry matter intake of the animals, when expressed as percentage of the bodyweight and per metabolic body size. There were no significant differences in digestion coefficients of the different nutrients, except for crude protein in crossbred water buffalo and crossbred cattle, although the digestibility of dry matter, organic matter and nitrogen free extract tended to be high in the former than in the latter. Likewise, average daily gain (ADG) was similar, although crossbred water buffalo had numerically higher ADG (828.6 vs 785.5 g) than crossbred cattle during the 6 months feeding. During the first 3 months of feeding (1–90 days), the ADG of crossbred water buffalo was 1066.1 g compared to 940.1 g for crossbred cattle. From 91 to 180 days, the crossbred cattle had slightly higher ADG (630.1 vs 591.1 g) but also the difference was not significant. The return above feed cost was comparable for crossbred cattle and crossbred water buffalo during the first 90 days of feeding. However, extending the feeding period from 91 to 180 days , income over feed cost was higher (P < 0.05) for crossbred cattle by PhP 5.3/kg gain than crossbred water buffalo. Results showed that crossbred water buffalo could attain similar growth rate with that of crossbred cattle under intensive system, when fed with high quality feed materials.
