| Abstract | ||||
| This work was designed to process banana wastes as hay and trying to improve its utilization by ensiling either untreated or supplemented with one of two kinds of bacteria inoculants . Determination of silage quality and anti – nutritional factors were studied .The effect of replacing clover hay by banana wastes as hay or untreated or treated silage on DM intakes , digestion coefficients , nutritive values and nitrogen balance. About 650 Kg banana hay were prepared and three tested silages in sixty plastic barrels (20 for each treatment ) with a capacity of 7.5 tons ( 2.5 tons each ) were used for ensiling the untreated silage , silage inoculated by H/MF inoculants ( homo fermentative acidophilic bacteria ) or inoculated by 11C33 inoculants ( Dual purpose contains homofermentative and hetrofermentative lactic acid bacteria ) . The results indicated that all banana silages were excellent have a firm texture , good smell , free from signs of molds , dust smells , caramelized and tobacco or vinegar . All silages had a normal of pH ( 3.70 to 4.03) with the superiority of those treated by 11C33 inoculants . The overall means of TVFA,s ranged between 7.15 to 7.85 ml mol / 100 ml , being higher for treated silages . Silage treated by (11C33 ) inoculants recorded the least concentration of NH3 – N (2.12 % ) . The fast rate of pH decline with inoculants silages imply a quick establishment of anaerobic in the silo and minimizing time of ensiling by two weeks . Silage treated with dual purpose bacteria inoculants (11C33) remained unspoiled and markedly improved aerobic stability of silage . The ensiling of banana wastes either with or without additives depressed the presence of some anti – nutritional factors . The results showed that fed rams with ensiled banana wastes either untreated or inoculated increased significantly ( P<0.05) the digestibility of OM , CP , CF , NDF and ADL and improved significantly ( P< 0.05 ) TDN and DCP values. Ensiling banana wastes with dual purpose bacterial inoculants had big advantages , improved the aerobic stability of silage and participate in feeding animals and minimize such problems of disposal pollution . | ||||
