ESTABILIDADE AERÓBICA DE SILAGEM DE DIETA TOTAL COM DIFERENTES ADITIVOS

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different additives on the losses and aerobic stability of total dietary silage. The experiment was developed at the Federal University of Grande Dourados-MS. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design, with three treatments and ten replications. The treatments were silage control; (Lactobacillus plantarum + Pediococcus acidilactici, 4g / ton KeraSil, Kera Animal Nutrition) and Chitosan (10 g / kg of natural material). The silages were stored for 60 days and after the storage period the losses by gases and effluents and the aerobic stability were evaluated. There was a statistical difference between the treatments evaluated for the production of gases. The total dietary silage added with microbial Inoculant had a lower gas production when compared to the control treatment. The use of the additive in the TMR silage reduces losses and increases aerobic stability.
