| The aim of this study was to evaluate the fermentation quality and nutritive value of fermented total mixed ration (FTMR) treated with various level of the fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLB). The TMR was prepared using ground rice straw, cassava chips, soybean meal, cotton seeds, tomato pomace, dried brewers grains, molasses, urea and vitamin-mineral supplement in ratio of 20.35:40.79:7.24:10.0:5.04:5.04:7.33: 1.37:2.84, respectively, on a dry matter basis. The moisture of all TMR was adjusted with water to 45%. The TMR was treated with the FJLB at 0, 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5% (w/w) of fresh TMR. The FTMR were opened after 1, 3, 5, 7, 14and 25 days, respectively, after ensiling for the chemical analysis. All treated FTMR were well preserved,... |
