Abstract

The fermentation of grass can be altered by the addition of 2,2′‐dipyridyl so that a lactic acid fermentation occurs rather than a putrefying fermentation (butyric acid fermentation). The combined addition of 2,2′‐dipyridyl and inoculation with Lactobacillus plantarum is even more favourable and results in high quality silage. 2,2′‐Dipyridyl is too toxic for general use, but the results of laboratory‐scale studies suggest that other sequestrants of iron(II) ions warrant further research with respect to their capability to enhance lactic acid fermentations.

Data from 21 experiments, conducted at ADAS Research Centres during 1971-1991, were used to compare grass silage harvested with either a flail-harvester, foragewagon, double-chop or precision-chop harvester. In 15 of the experiments, formic acid was applied at 2)7, 3)1, 2)1 and 2)1 l/t, respectively

Wheat (T riticum aestivum L) straw and corn (Zea mays L) silage were extruded under variable conditions of temperature and screw speed. The resulting extrudates were then tested for their fermentability according to cumulative production of gas, and compared with each other and with the untreated ma
