Effect of Formic Acid Addition on the Quality of Barley Silage in Accordance with Growth Stage

Formic Acid 첨가가 보리의 생육단계별 Silage 품질에 미치는 영향

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of formic acid addition(0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% levels) and wilt on the quality of barley silage in accordance with growth stage, and pH and organic acid content were also analyzed. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. In the chemical composition of raw barley, moisture, crude protein and crude fat were decreased with advancing the maturity, but crude fiber and NFE were reversely increased. The water soluble carbohydrate content was 12.7% in the milky stage and was the highest among growth stages. It was also decreased with advancing the maturity. 2. The crude protein content of barley silage was increased by addition of formic acid and wilt treatment. ADF and NDF content were increased with advancing the maturity. ADF content was decreased in proportion to addition of formic acid. 3. pH tended to a little increase with advancing the maturity and was a little low by increasing the level of formic acid. The lactic acid content was the highest in the milky stage and in the 0.6% formic acid addition. Based on the above results, it would be suggested that the superior quality of barley can be produced from the heading stage to the milky stage from 0.4% to 0.6% in the level of formic acid for the making of barley silage.

본(本) 시험(試驗)은 보리를 생육(生育) 단계별(段階別)로 예취(刈取)하여 formic acid를 $0.2%{\sim}0.6%$ 까지 3개 수준(水準)으로 첨가(添加)하고 또 예건(豫乾)하였을 때 silage의 품질(品質)에 미치는 영향을 구명(究明)하고져 원료(原料)의 일반성분(一般成分), 식물세포구성물(植物細胞構成物)을 분석(分析)하였다. 또한 silage의 품질(品質)을 평가(評價)하기 위하여 제조(製造)하여 약(約) 60일후에 pH 및 유기산(有機酸) 함량(含量)을 분석(分析)한 결과로 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 보리의 일반성분(一般成分) 함량(含量)은 생육(生育)이 진행(進行)됨에 따라 수분(水分), 조단백질(粗蛋白質), 조지방함량(粗脂肪含量)은 감소하고 조섬유(組纖維), NFE함량(含量)은 증가(增加)하였다. 수용성탄수화물함량(水溶性炭水化物含量)은 유숙기(乳熟期)가 12.7%로 가장 많았으며 생육(生育)이 진행(進行)됨에 따라 감소하였다. 2. silage의 조단백질함량(粗資白質含量)은 formic acid를 첨가(添加)하므로서 효과가 높았으며 예건(豫乾)도 좋았다. ADF와 NDF함량(含量)은 생육(生育)이 진행(進行)됨에 따라 증가(增加)하고 formic acid의 첨가량(添加量)이 증가(增加)할수록 ADF는 감소하였다. 3. pH는 생육(生育)이 진행(進行)됨에 따라 약간 증가하는 경향이며 formic acid의 첨가수준(添加水準)이 높아짐에 따라 pH는 약간 낮아졌다. 유산함량(乳酸含量)은 유숙기(乳熟期)가 가장 많으며 0.6%의 formic acid를 첨가(添加)하므로서 효과가 높은 결과(結果)를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과(結果)를 종합(綜合)해 보면 보리는 출수기(出穗期)부터 유숙기(乳熟期)에 예취(刈取)하는 것이 좋으며 formic acid를 첨가(添加)하는 경우에는 $0.4%{\sim}0.6%$를 첨가(添加)하므로서 양질(良質)의 silage를 생산(生産)할 수 있다고 사료(思料)된다.
