Impact of mixed forage silage with BRS Capiaçu grass, ground corn, and varying forage palm levels on aerobic stability, fermentation profile, chemical composition, and digestibility

This study aimed to evaluate different proportions of cactus pear in silage with BRS Capiaçu grass, along with a 10% inclusion of ground corn grain, focusing on aerobic stability, fermentative profile, chemical composition, and digestibility. The treatments included cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) at increasing levels of 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60% of the natural matter in the silage with BRS Capiaçu grass, plus 10% ground corn grain. Additionally, a control silage composed of BRS Capiaçu grass without ground [...]
