There is considerable scope for modifying the extent of fermentation during silage production by selecting an appropriate silage additive, with chemicals such as formic acid restricting fermentation and/or fermentable carbohydrates stimulating the natural fermentation in the silo. Both approaches can achieve satisfactory preservation but can produce silages of quite different chemical compositions. The objective of this experiment was to compare the pattern of rumen fermentation and digestibility of a silage, which had 50 kg of molassed sugar beet pulp (MSBP) applied at harvesting, with those of an untreated silage and a silage treated with formic acid.

Faecal Ph

Previous work has shown that an increase in readily fermentable carbohydrates (CHO) in the diet of pigs is reflected by a decrease in faecal pH (Canh et al., 1998). It is well documented that a similar increase in CHO in the diet of equids is reflected by a decrease in caecal pH (McLean et al., 2000). Little work has been undertaken to determine if such a relationship exists in equids or indeed if there is a correlation between dietary pH and faecal pH.The feed pH and faecal pH of six groups, each of 8 horses, receiving a variety of diets were examined. The dietary groups covered a wide range of feeds from purely forage based to predominantly concentrate based. Diet 1 consisted of 100% Hay (Hy), diet 2 of 100% grass (Gr), diet 3 of a 70:30 mix of Haylage (Hg) and grass (Gr): stud nuts, diet 4 of a 50:50 mix of haylage and competition mix, diet 5 a 30:70 mix of haylage to race mix and diet 6 a 60:40 mix of haylage, alfalfa and sugar beet pulp: rolled oats.

Beet Pulp

Due to its slower rate of rumen degradation, molassed sugar beet pulp (MBP) is considered to result in a higher pH in rumen fluid wnen compared with cereals and to be of benefit in diets where maximum fibre digestion is desired (Fahmy et al., 1984). Sodium hydroxide-treatment of MBP, by increasing feed pH may increase the value of MBP still further in these situations. The most common method of processing whole cereal grains is dry rolling. Sodium hydroxide pre-treatment has also been shown to increase the digestibility of whole cereal grains close to thai achieved by dry rolling (Orskov, 1979). Little information is available on the relative effects on rumen fermentation of both processing methods. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine the effects of treating MBP with NaOH and (2) compare the effects of rolfing (R) and S as processing methods for barley and wheat, on rumen fermentation and dry matter (DM) degradability (DMD) in steers offered grass silage.

The influence of benzoic acid and formic acid (positive control) of ensilaged maize and pressed sugar beet pulp on quality fermentation processes was studied in a laboratory experiment. The effect of additive on the quality of fermentation process during maize ensiling was studied in a first model experiment. Preservatives such as formic acid and benzoic acid were added to ensiled maize at the concentration of 1L/t and 1 kg/t, respectively. When benzoic acid was used as a preservative, the pH and the N-NH3/ N total ratio decreased statistically (P<0.05) significantly while the titration acidity increased (P<0.05) in comparison with the control values. The addition of HCOOH to the maize silage reduced the level of acetic acid in dry matter by 11.3% while the overall level of acids decreased by 1.8%. The minimum loss of dry matter (2%) was found in the silage treated with formic acid in comparison with that of the control (11.0%).Sugar beet pulp silages with benzoic acid or formic acid after 32 days of storage had a better sensuous evaluation than the control silage. The most intensive decrease of pH value was observed after formic acid addition as compared with control silage. The statistically significantly (P<0.05) highest lactic acid content (49.64 ± 0.28) as well as the highest ratio of LA/VFA were found in the sugar beet pulp silage with benzoic acid. Lactic acid constituted the highest percentage (P<0.05) of all fermentation acids in the silage with benzoic acid additive (65.12 ± 0.80). Undesirable butyric acid (BA) was not found in any variant of silages. The positive correlation between the titration acidity and acids sum in dry matter of silage conserved with formic acid was found. The additive of organic acids reduced significantly TA and fermentation acids content. Between the pH value and lactic acid content, no correlation was found.
