Full TextAbstract
Greater feeding value of lucerne silage than lucerne hay has been a common finding of ruminant feeding studies in tropical countries. However, during ensiling, a large proportion of the crude protein (CP) in lucerne is broken down to non protein nitrogen (NPN), (Broderick et al., 1995). Additives such as formic acid may reduce proteolysis during lucerne ensiling. The objective of the present experiment was to compare the nutrient content, and ruminal and postruminal dry (DM) matter and protein disappearance of luceme silage treated with urea and formic acid.
