Effects of Bacillus coagulans and Lactobacillus plantarum on the fermentation quality, aerobic stability and microbial community of triticale silage Open
Background Due to its hollow stem, ensiling triticale presents a challenge as it may cause an overabundance of oxygen during the fermentation process. This study investigated the effects of Bacillus coagulans (BC) and Lactobacillus plantar…
Effects of Bacillus coagulans and Lactobacillus plantarum on the Fermentation Quality, Aerobic Stability and Microbial Community of Triticale Silage Open
The present study investigated the impact of L. plantarum and B. coagulans on the fermentation characteristics, microbial community, and aerobic stability of ensiled triticale. Fresh triticale was wilted at a dry matter content of 35%. The…
PSVIII-30 Reduced-lignin alfalfa digestibility and effects on performance of growing beef steers Open
Novel alfalfa varieties have been developed to have less lignin by genetic modification, (HarvXtra, Forage Genetics International) and by conventional breeding, (HiGest 360, Alforex Seeds). Second crop (d 29) of these alfalfas and a contro…
Resilience, Stability, and Productivity of Alfalfa Cultivars in Rainfed Regions of North America Open
Resilient, stable, and productive forage systems are needed to endure increasingly frequent climatic extremes. Resilience is the ability of a forage system to withstand a climatic crisis with high yields, stability is the minimal variabili…
Forage Management: Low Lignin Alfalfa and Leaf Loss at Harvest Open
This information was presented the 2017 Herd Health and Nutrition Conference, organized by the PRO-DAIRY Program in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. Softcover copies of the entire conference proceedings m…
Effect of Hay-Rake Type on Exogenous Ash Content of Alfalfa Hay Open
Ash content of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) hay typically ranges from 6% to 8% dry matter (DM) with ash contents > 8% indicating hay that is likely contaminated with soil. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of rake-…
