Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Wheat Bran, EM Bacteria, Ammonium Nitrate and Fungal Additives on Fermentation and Forage Quality of Rice Straw SilageBin Yang, Jiahuan Liu, Dongmei Ma et al.The global ruminant industry is constrained by a persistent shortage of high-quality roughage, thus rendering the bioconversion of agricultural residues, such as rice straw, a critical priority. Nevertheless, the high lignification, silicification, and nitrogen deficiency of rice straw pose significant biological barriers to traditional ensiling. This study investigated the impact of various additives on rice straw silage quality. Six treatments … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2026 · 642 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynergistic Effects of Wheat Bran and Inoculants on Fermentation and Nutritional Quality of Soybean Straw SilageLie Yang, Rundong Qin, Jiahuan Liu et al.The efficient valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass from soybean straw into high-quality silage remains a pressing challenge for sustainable livestock production. This study employed a 3×3 factorial design to systematically investigate the interactive effects between wheat bran additions (0%, 10%, 20% of fresh weight) and microbial inoculant regimes (control, Effective Microorganisms, EM+Trichoderma longibrachiatum) on soybean straw silage quality. Two-way ANOVA revealed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,109 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Effects of the Addition of Salt, Type of Additive and the Shelf Life, on Chemical Composition of Pennisetum purpureum (Schumach) (Maralfalfa) Silages in NigerMaman Lawal Abdoul Aziz, Seydou Korombé Hamza, Djibo Ibrahim et al.Seasonal variations in the quantity and quality of fodder constitute an obstacle to the development of ruminant breeding in Niger. This is why this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of salt addition, shelf life, and type of additive on the chemical composition of Pennisetum purpureum Schumach (Maralfalfa) silages. These aspects were retained because salt, in addition to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2024 · 4,720 accessesView PDF Cite
