The aim of the study was to determine the effect of whey or molasses on the fermentation quality when added to potato hash silage. In addition, lamb performance, digestibility and feed intake of diets containing potato hash silage were compared…
Evaluation of differential energy and protein supplementation to maize silage for slaughter lambs An investigation was conducted into the effects of dietary protein and energy content as well as protein source in slaughter lamb production on maize silage plus maize…
Maize silage is relatively high in energy but low in protein for the normal lactational requirements of dairy cows. Three trials were conducted to compare the use of urea as opposed to natural protein supplements in balancing the…
The effect of maturity stage, expressed in terms of moisture content (54,5 ± 3,2%; 66,0 ± 5,2%; and 76,3 ± 1,8%), and the effect of different rates of formalin treatment (0; 2,57 ± 0,64; 5,10 ± 0,89; and 7,59 ±…
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the addition of a lactic acid bacterial inoculant to maize at ensiling on the fermentation dynamics during ensiling, aerobic stability of the silage as well as the intake, milk…
Growth, carcass characteristics and eating quality of meat from South African Mutton Merino wethers fed maize or different sorghum silage diets were studied. Forty newly weaned wethers (20 kg) were randomly allocated to 10 dietary treatments, viz. non-bird-resistant grain sorghum…
