Operation of whisky distilling plants throughout the year produces considerable quantities of by-products malt distillers grains (draff) during the summer months. Draff is traditionally used as a ruminant feedstuff with the greatest demand being in winter. Competitive prices during summer make draff a very attractive buy and summer purchase, with subsequent storage on the farm for winter feeding is now a widely accepted, practice. However,, there is little information about the consequencies of long term draff storage or a detailed evaluation of different ensilage methods. This investigation examined the effects of three different storage methods on dry matter losses in the silo, and evaluated the recovered feedstuff using young steers.Storage methods - Each storage method was examined in duplicated sleeper walled silos, each containing approximately 6 tonnes of draff. The silos were roofed and had individual effluent tanks. For method 1 draff was tipped into the pits and a top sheet was held in place by an incomplete surface covering of sandbags.

Dry Matter Loss

Previous work reported at last years' conference (Hyslop, Offer and Barber, 1989) has demonstrated that the inclusion of molassed sugar beet shreds (MSBS) with malt distillers grains (draff) at ensiling; greatly reduces dry matter loss and enhances animal performance compared with ensiling draff alone. It has also been observed that draff may comprise up to 30% of dietary DM in silage based complete diets for dairy cows; without loss of performance (Hyslop and Roberts, 1989). This experiment examines the long term technical and economic consequences of replacing barley and soya with draff plus additional minerals in dairy cow diets. In addition; a comparison is made between draff ensiled alone, or in conjunction with MSBS.

HighlightsTime to bind a round bale was longest for twine (56 s) compared to B-Wrap® (28 s) and net wrap (18 s).Alfalfa cultivar had minimal effects on changes in dry matter and forage quality of round bales stored outdoors.Dry matter losses were 7% for twine bales, 5% for net wrap bales, while B-Wrap® bales maintained DM in outdoor storage.Deleterious changes in forage quality were generally observed after =180 days of outdoor storage. Abstract. Large round bales are commonly fed to livestock; however, it has been well documented that outdoor storage can negatively impact dry matter (DM) and forage quality. To reduce storage losses and improve feeding value, new wrap types and alfalfa cultivars have been developed; however, these options have not been extensively investigated. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to evaluate the time required to bind large round bales, determine changes in DM and forage quality, and examine the economics of reduced-lignin and conventional alfalfa hay bound in twine, net wrap, and B-Wrap® while in outdoor storage. Hay was baled into 24 large round bales; 12 bales each of reduced-lignin and conventional alfalfa. Within each cultivar, four replicates were bound with each wrap type. Using stopwatches, the time to bind each bale was recorded. At the time of harvest, and every 90±3 days for 365 days, individual bales were weighed and cored to determine changes in DM and forage quality. Significance was set at P = 0.05. Time to bind a bale was longest for twine, intermediate for B-Wrap®, and shortest for net wrap (P < 0.01). Alfalfa cultivar had minimal effects on the parameters measured; therefore, the interaction between wrap type and storage length was reported. After 365 days in outdoor storage, DM losses were 7% for twine bales, 5% for net wrap bales, while B-Wrap® bales maintained DM. Changes in forage quality were observed at =180 days of storage where nonstructural carbohydrates were decreased and insoluble fiber components were concentrated. B-Wrap® bales had a higher value compared to net wrap and twines bales at 180 and 270 days in storage. These results suggest that B-Wrap® was better able to shed precipitation which preserved forage quality and bale value compared to large round bales bound in net wrap and twine in long term, outdoor storage.

Abstract This research evaluated the storage and feeding value of residual from edamame soybean production on a laboratory scale. Two types of residual or waste material (waste from harvesting, and waste from processing stored material) were ensiled in 500-gram silos (≥ 3 silos per treatment). Material from harvest (a single trip) was ensiled either without wilting (fresh, 71% moisture) or after wilting to a target of 60% moisture; while material from processing (4 replicate trips) was ensiled at 80 (fresh), and targets of 65, 50, and 35% moisture; material at each targeted moisture level was ensiled with and without a commercial lactic acid bacterial inoculant (Lactobacillus buchneri). Dry matter loss and pH were determined after 42 (harvest waste) or 50 (processing waste) days of ensiling. Pre-ensiled processing waste material was 57% NDF, 39.4% ADF, 12.1% CP. and 8.1% ash (average of material from 3 trips). For harvest waste, there was an inoculant by ensiling DM interaction (P = 0.05) for post-ensiling pH. Ensiled fresh material without inoculant had the lowest pH (5.3) and fresh material ensiled with inoculant had a greater pH (5.5) but both were lower than either inoculant treatments using dryer material (6.5). Recoveries of DM after ensiling tended to be greater with the inoculant (89.8 vs. 86.2%). For processing waste, there was a quadratic effect of ensiling DM (P < 0.01), with post-ensiling pH being lowest for fresh and 22% DM (4.4 and 4.6) then increasing to 5.2 and 6.7 when ensiled at 46 and 74% DM. There was no effect of inoculant or an inoculant by ensiling DM on post-ensiling pH. As expected, ensiling wetter material resulted in a lower post-ensiling pH for both residual materials. Adding a silage inoculant had minimal effects on pH but tended to increase the recoveries of DM from the harvest waste.

The Impact

Ex-arable land-use change is a global issue with significant implications for climate change and impact for phytocenosis productivity and soil quality. In temperate humid grassland, we examined the impact of climate variability and changes of soil properties on 23 years of grass productivity after conversion of ex-arable soil to abandoned land (AL), unfertilized, and fertilized managed grassland (MGunfert and MGfert, respectively). This study aimed to investigate the changes between phytocenosis dry matter (DM) yield and rainfall amount in May–June and changes of organic carbon (Corg) stocks in soil. It was found that from 1995 to 2019, rainfall in May–June tended to decrease. The more resistant to rainfall variation were plants recovered in AL. The average DM yield of MGfert was 3.0 times higher compared to that in the AL. The DM yields of AL and MG were also influenced by the long-term change of soil properties. Our results showed that Corg sequestration in AL was faster (0.455 Mg ha−1 year−1) than that in MGfert (0.321 Mg ha−1 year−1). These studies will be important in Arenosol for selecting the method for transforming low-productivity arable land into MG.

In a model of the functioning of short term memory, the encoding of information for subsequent storage in long term memory is simulated. In the encoding process, semantically equivalent paragraphs are detected for recombination into a macro information unit. This recombination process can be used to relieve the limited storage capacity constraint of short term memory and subsequently increase processing efficiency. The results of the simulation give a favorable indication of the success for the use of cluster analysis as a tool to simulate the encoding function in the detection of semantically similar paragraphs.

The digestibility coefficients of old barley straw fed with a basal ration of oats, bran and maize to two adult horses and of the same straw after treatment by Beckmann's method were ascertained. The coefficients of the nitrogen-free extractives and the crude fibre of the untreated straw were 33·23 and 38·24 respectively and of the treated straw 54·14 and 63·71. There was a reduction in the digestibility of the small quantity of protein and fat.Taking into account the 14·5% of dry matter lost during treatment, the starch equivalent value of the treated material was somewhat higher than that of poor quality meadow hay.The digestibility coefficients were considerably lower for an immature horse previously maintained entirely on fresh grass.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the long-term effects of the surface application of lime on soil fertility and on the mineral nutrition and grain yield of soybean, and of black oat and sorghum in crop succession. The experiment was carried out on a clayey Oxisol, in a randomized complete block design, with four replicates. Treatments consisted of lime the rates of 0, 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 kg ha-1, applied in October 2002 and November 2004. Soil samples were collected at five soil layers, down to 0.60-m depth. Surface liming was effective in reducing soil acidity and increasing Ca2+ and Mg2+ contents in the subsurface. Moreover, it increased available phosphorus contents and soil organic matter in the long term (48 to 60 months after the last lime application). Surface liming improved plant nutrition, mainly for N, Ca, and Mg, and increased dry matter production and grain yield of the crops, even in years with regular distribution of rainfall. The greatest productivities of soybean, black oat, and sorghum were obtained with the respective estimated lime doses of 4,000, 2,333, and 3,281 kg ha-1, for shoot dry matter, and of 2,550, 3,555, and over 4,000 kg ha-1, for grain yield.
