dc.description.abstractThe objective of this study was to investigate the applicability of whey, whey powder, and homofermentative bacterial inoculant (L. Plantarum, P. acidilactici, P. Acidipropionici) as additives in corn, alfalfa, and lolium silages. It was also aimed to determine the effects of these additives on the nutrient contents, some quality parameters, and in vitro true digestibilities of the silages. Corn and lolium forages were harvested in the dough stage, while alfalfa in the early blooming period. Forages were mixed with whey 30%, whey powder 2%, and inoculant at the recommended level given by the company and ensiled in laboratory type liter jars. Jars were opened after three months. It was revealed that whey and whey powder reduced (2-23%) neutral detergent fiber (NDF), diminished (5-18%) acid detergent fiber (ADF) of corn and alfalfa silages. However, nonsignificant differences in NDF and ADF levels in lolium silage subgroups were observed (P>0.05). Whey added subgroups of all plants portrayed reduced in vitro true digestibilities of whey and whey powder treated lolium (4-5%) and alfalfa (12-13%) silages and reduced pH (6-15%). Dry matter and crude protein levels were higher in whey added alfalfa groups as compared to control and inoculant added alfalfa groups (P<0.05). In conclusion, whey can be applied as a silage additive for better fermentation. It is especially suitable for ensiling of low moisture plants for ensiling.
