Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensiling is a technique that is used to store food, mainly vegetable crops, to feed the herd when the forage supply from the pastures is not enough to maintain the productive performance of the ruminant animals. However, silage can also be used as substrate for biogas production and other different purposes. In the past years, we have seen many advances in the knowledge about silage production utilization, and this book is a compilation and discussion of the outstanding scientific research activities concerning actually the most recent advances and technologies that have been studied about silage and future demands. It is directed to a broad public of readers - farmers, academics, students, or anyone just curious or interested in the subject.

Download or read book Biochemical Evaluation of Silage Corn Varieties written by Daniel Craig Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical and biological evaluations were conducted to provide chemical composition and digestibility information, in addition to yield data, for silage corn varieties produced on poorly drained Dayton soil series. Each variety was subjected to a Kjeldahl nitrogen, acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, cell wall, and residual ash test. Subsequently cell contents, cellulose, and hemicellulose were calculated by difference. The objectives of this study were to determine if significant differences in nutrient composition and digestibility existed among silage corn varieties grown under similar cultural conditions, and whether such differences could be detected by the detergent analysis scheme in a non-pasture forage. Finally, a comparison of in vitro (artificial rumen) and summative equation digestibility coefficients would indicate the possibility of using the latter for estimating nutritive value in forage crop experimental work. In addition, grass and legume samples, varying widely in nutritive value, were subjected to detergent analysis to ascertain the systems capabilities for assessing differences in chemical composition between forage types. Statistical analysis of the data for chemical composition of the silage corn varieties showed that no significant differences among varieties existed at the five percent probability level. Biological availability of the nutrients of the silage corn varieties was measured by the in vitro (artificial rumen) technique. No significant differences were noted in the 24-hour trials. However, in the 12-hour trials varieties two and four gave coefficients that were significantly (P

This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maize is a globally important crop mainly utilized as feed, food and raw material for diverse industrial applications. Among cereals, it occupies third place after rice and wheat and is a staple food for a large segment of population worldwide particularly in the Asian as well as African countries. This monogram discusses various aspects of nutritional quality of maize such as quality protein maize which has been considered as most significant discovery in enhancing nutritional quality of cereals in terms of increasing the concentration of essential amino acids. The biochemistry of starch which is an important industrial product of maize has been discussed in detail. Further, the role of maize oil which is highly regarded for human consumption as it reduces the blood cholesterol concentration has also been elaborated. Naturally, maize is a rich source of carotenoids such as beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, cryptoxanthin which have highly diverse health benefits ranging from maintaining normal vision to lowering of oxidative stress. The need for biofortification of maize for provitamin A carotenoids and their role in alleviating vision impairments have also been discussed. The effect of various biotic and abiotic stresses particularly carbon dioxide and temperature on quality has been discussed thoroughly. Many value-added products as well as fermented foods that have been produced from maize which is consumed in different forms worldwide are also discussed. The aspects related to the maize application as fodder and as a source of malting have also been covered concisely. Overall, the book provides complete information about various quality aspects of maize. The various stakeholders such as maize researchers, extension specialists, students, teachers as well as farmers will be immensely benefitted from this monogram.

Download or read book Evaluation of an Amylase enabled Corn Silage in Lactating Cows written by Sergio Cueva Welchez and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of an amylase-enabled corn silage on the lactation performance, enteric gas emission and rumen fermentation of lactating dairy cows. The amylase-enabled corn hybrid (Enogen; Syngenta Seeds LLC) was harvested, ensiled, and included in the diet at 40% of dry matter (DM) of the cows. The Enogen corn silage (ECS) was compared with silage from a control (CON) isogenic corn hybrid without the amylase trait. Both silages were included at the same inclusion rate of dietary DM and the diet fed, with exception of the silage source, was identical between the treatments. The purpose of the experiment was to investigate the effect of ECS on lactational performance, enteric gas emission, and rumen fermentation of lactating dairy cows. Both corn hybrids were grown for approximately 130 d, and silages were fermented for approximately 220 d before the beginning of the animal experiment in April 2019. At harvest, the CON hybrid yielded approximated 1.1 t of DM/ha more than the ECS hybrid. Crude protein concentration was 6% lesser in ECS when compared with the CON hybrid. Acid detergent fiber was also 3.9% lesser for ECS. Furthermore, the ECS was greater in starch content, when compared with the CON (9.3%, on average). As expected, the amylase activity in ECS was 13-fold greater when compared with the CON silage. Nevertheless, the differences mentioned in the nutritional content of the silages, did not result in major differences in fermentation end-products between the silages. Inclusion of ECS at 40% dietary DM did not affect DMI but increased MY (40.8 vs 38.8 kg/d), improved feed efficiency (1.55 vs. 1.47 kg/kg) and tended to improve energy-corrected milk yield (ECM) feed efficiency in lactating cows (1.50 vs. 1.45 kg/kg). Milk lactose was greater (4.92 vs 4.86 %) for cows fed the ECS diet, relative to CON, but milk protein and fat contents were similar. Methane emission intensity (per unit of milk yield) was decreased by the ECS diet compared with CON; however, treatment did not affect CH4 emission intensity expressed per kilogram of ECM. Rumen fermentation, apart from a decreased molar proportion of butyrate in rumen fluid of ECS-fed cows, was not affected by treatment. Amylase activity was numerically, but not statistically, greater in rumen fluid of ECS-fed cows, however, the difference could be related both to a greater amylase activity in ECS (as previously described) and greater starch intake with the ECS diet, when compared with CON. As suspected, intake of starch was greater in cows fed the ECS diet relative to CON, and apparent total-tract DM digestibility also tended to be greater in cows fed the ECS. There were no differences in intakes in any of the other nutrients or their apparent total-tract digestibility. Nitrogen intake and utilization, as well as urinary purine derivative excretion, were not affected by the silage treatment. Effects induced by ECS were likely a result of the greater starch content in ECS and greater overall availability of digestible nutrients. Moreover, given that ECS decreased CH4 emission intensity (per unit of MY, but not of ECM), data would suggest that the carbon footprint of milk production could be reduced by inclusion of ECS, Inclusion of an amylase-enabled hybrid in dairy rations showed promising effects by improving feed efficiency and ECM feed efficiency in dairy cows. However, the amylase-enabled corn silage used in the current experiment tended to have a greater overall availability of digestible nutrients and was greater in starch content, when compared with its isogenic counterpart. In this regard, effects observed on cow performance can be attributed, at least partially, to differences in silage nutritional composition. Research investigating the effects of feeding amylase-enabled corn silages to dairy cows is limited. This makes it challenging to concretely determine the mode and extent of action of the amylase enzyme in the current study. Thus, future research on amylase-enabled hybrids should be focused on determining modes and stages of action of the enzyme, potential nutritional and environmental benefits in dairy cows, and possible interactions with other additives or dietary ingredients. The amylase-enabled technology seems to be promising, however, questions remain that must be answered to fully understand the benefits of the inclusion of amylase-enabled corn in dairy cow diets.
