ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to evaluate the
effects of the addition of souari nut peel on the fermentative characteristics
and chemical composition of the Mombasa grass silage. A completely randomized
design with five levels of addition (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% in natural
matter basis) of souari nut peel with three replicates was applied in the
study. The silos were opened at 55 d after starting the ensiling process. The data were analyzed by means of linear/quadratic regression
analysis, according to the best fit of the data and the probability values to
5%, using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS, 2002). There were a linear decreasing
effect on the neutral
detergent fiber (NDF), ash and increasing values for the effluent in the
silage. Quadratic effect was
observed for crude protein (CP), lignin and pH. For
the other factors dry matter (DM), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and gases there
was no influence on the addition of souari nut peel. The 15% addition level of souari
nut peel increased CP content, decreased
NDF and pH, which was recommended to improve the fermentation profile of Mombasa
grass silage.
