Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of some organic acids as additive on chemical composition, fermentation characteristics and aerobic stability of whole-crop triticale silage. Triticale harvested in early dough stage, chopped at 20 mm length and ensiled in 4-L polyvinyl tubes for 45 days. Treatments were control (no additive), 4 L formic acid per ton of fresh forage and 4 L mixtures of formic acid and propionic acid (2:1) per ton of fresh forage. Silage treated with formic acid had higher dry matter content compared to other treatments. However, crude protein and NDF concentration of silages were not influenced by acid treatments. The pH value of silage treated with mixture of formic and propionic acid was lower than the control (4.48 vs. 4.70). Application of formic acid alone or in combination with propionic acid decreased ammonia nitrogen concentration of silages (p<0.05). Furthermore, aerobic stability of silage supplemented with mixture of formic and propionic acids was 1.6 times higher compared to control. The results indicate that ensiling triticale herbage with mixture of formic and propionic acids could improve some fermentation characteristics and aerobic stability of its silage.
