Alternative … Chemical treatment gave the higher water soluble carbohydrates (WSC) contents and produced the most … Key words: additive, … INTRODUCTION Progress in improving silage quality and nutrient use efficiency, advances in plant breeding and additives for manipulating silage fermentation made silage of topmost importance feed. In recent times whole-crops cereals have increased in popularity and have partially and successful replaced grass silage or cereal in the diet [1]. Therefore, these studies were aimed to determine the effect of formic-propionic acids-based preservative on the fermentation characteristics and aerobic stability of whole-crop winter wheat and spring barley. MATERIALS AND METHODS Spring variety of barley from one field … Whole-crop cereals was … RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The DM, crude protein and WSC … After ten weeks storing … Table 1.
