Article Description

The research aimed to evaluate the use of additives on the fermentative and bromatological characteristics and the population of yeast of the sugarcane silage. The experiment was carried out in a complete randomized design with four replicates. It was tested different amount of additives added to the sugarcane silage at ensiling (based on the forage fresh matter) which were the following: urea 1.5%; urea 0.5% + corn meal 4%; urea 0.5% + dehydrated cassava 4%; starea 1.5%; sugar cane only. Sugarcane variety RB-72454, at 18 months of regrowth was stored for 180 days in experimental concrete silos (500 kg capacity). Contents of ash, pH, dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, non fiber carbohidrate, ammonium nitrogen, lignin and count of yeasts were evaluated. The greatest contents of dry matter and the lowest contents of neutral detergent fiber are observed in the urea-corn meal treatment, which improves fermentative pattern of the silage. © 2010 Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia.
