THE EFFECT OF HARVEST DATE AND BACTERIAL-ENZYMATIC ADDITIVES ON CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND AEROBIC STABILITY OF SORGHUM SILAGE

J. B. Pys, F. Borowiec, A. Karpowicz, V. Vlizlo

Sorghum forage harvest date determined the nutrient content of the silages made, but had no effect on the quality of the fermentation process occurring in the ensiled biomass. The addition of L. buchneri and P. acidilactici bacteria as well as the celullase and hemicellulase to the ensiled sorghum forage made it possible to obtain silages with the best parameters of fermentation and the greatest resistance to aerobic deterioration.
