Abstract

Triticale is a hybrid cereal derived from crossing wheat with rye. In areas where soil and water were as limiting factors for plant growth, the silage of triticale can be used as a substitute for corn silage. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of microbial additives on the morphological characteristics, chemical composition and gas test of triticale silage, in a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments were included of triticale silage without bacterial inoculation (control), triticale silage inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum and triticale silage inoculated with Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum. Dry matter, crude protein, pH, gas test, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, effluent and sensory test of silages were determined. The average of dry matter, crude protein, total nitrogen, the amount of effluent, morphological characteristics, the amount of gas production at the time of 96 hour and the parameters of gas production (B,C) showed no significant differences in all treatments (P>0.05). Also, the average of pH of silages which microbial additives were used in the preparation of them, were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). Dry matter lesions in experimental group which inoculated with lactobacillus plantarum was significantly less than other experimental groups (P<0.05). It can be concluded that because of low dry matter waste and ammonia nitrogen, triticale silages with only Lactobacillus plantarum were better, compared with other silages.
