Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of the bacterial and/or enzymatic inoculants on corn silage degradation. The in situ technique was used in four adult steers in a 4x4 latin square design. The evaluated treatments were: CS (control silage), SBI (silage with bacterial inoculant), SBEI (silage with bacterial and enzymatic inoculant) and SEI (silage with enzymatic inoculant). There was no difference among treatments in soluble fraction (a), potential degradable fraction (b), fraction b rate of degradation (c), potential degradability (PD) and effective degradability (ED) of DM and OM. The ED of CP was higher in SEI treatment (63.13%) and lower in SBEI treatment (53.69%). The b fraction of NDF was higher for SBEI (74.13%) and lower for SBI (64.07%). The NDF indigestible residue (I) did not show any difference among treatments. The ADF b and I fraction and the c rate values did not show any difference among treatments.
