This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of molasses and $Phellinus$ $linteus$ meal supplementation on the quality of Korean herbal medicine silage. Herbal medicine meal silages were produced by the addition of 0, 15, and 30% of $Phellinus$ $linteus$ meal and 0, 1, and 2% of molasses ($3{\times}3$ factorial design) and stored for 40 days at room temperature. There were three replicates per treatment. Its quality such as chemical composition, pH, organic acids, the number of microorganisms and $in$ $vitro$ dry matter disappearance were determined. As the $Phellinus$ $linteus$ meal level increased, crude protein and crude fat contents increased significantly, but the acid detergent fiber (ADF) content decreased significantly. As the addition of $Phellinus$ $linteus$ meal decreased, and molasses increased, pH tended to decrease, but the lactic acid content trended to increase. The acetic acid content was lower in a higher level (30%) of $Phellinus$ $linteus$ meal, and higher in a higher level (2%) of molasses. As the $Phellinus$ $linteus$ meal level increased, the butyric acid content decreased, and butyric acid of molasses treatment was higher than that of non-supplemented control. Molasses increased the number of Lactobacillus, but decreased the number of fungi in silage. A lower level of $Phellinus$ $linteus$ meal increased the number of Lactobacillus, but decreased the number of fungi. $in$ $vitro$ dry matter disappearance tended to increase by the addition of $Phellinus$ $linteus$ meal and molasses. It is concluded that the addition of molasses and $Phellinus$ $linteus$ to herbal medicine meal silage could enhance its nutritional quality. It is considered that proper levels of molasses and $Phellinus$ $linteus$ meal in herbal medicine meal silage were 2 % and 15% respectively.

당밀의 첨가가 오적산박 사일리지의 품질 및 한국재래산양에 대한 기호성을 조사하기 위하여 두가지 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 I에서는 오적산박에 당밀을 0, 0.5 및 1.0% 첨가하여 사일리지를 제조하였고, 실험 II에서는 오적산박 사일리지의 기호성을 조사하기 위하여 9두의 우리나라 재래산양을 공시하여 당밀 첨가수준별 및 옥수수 사일리지와의 섭취량을 비교하였다. 실험 I에서는 당밀의 첨가에 의하여 젖산함량이 유의하게 많아지고, pH와 낙산은 낮게 나타났다. 당밀의 첨가로 사일리지액의 유산균배지 배양시험에 있어 총균수는 증가하였고, 곰팡이 균주는 감소하였다. 그리고 당밀의 첨가에 따라 체외 건물 소실율이 증가하였다. 실험 II에서는 당밀의 첨가가 사일리지 건물섭취량에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 못 하였으며, 오적산박 사일리지는 옥수수 사일리지에 비하여 기호성이 좋았다. 결론적으로 오적산박 사일리지에 대한 당밀의 첨가수준은 1% 정도면 품질을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 체외 소화율도 개선할 수 있다고 생각된다.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of molasses supplementation levels to silage materials in ensiling herbal medicine meal on the quality of silage, and its palatability in Korean native goats. In experimentⅠ, molasses were added at the levels of 0, 0.5, and 1.0% to herbal medicine (Deasihotang) meal, with three replicates per each level. They were kept at room temperature for 40 d in glass bottles in order to get silage samples. In experiment Ⅱ, nine 1.5-yr-old Korean native female goats were employed to measure their palatability. In experimentⅠ, lactic acid contents in molasses treatments were significantly (p<0.05) higher, and pH and butyric acid contents was lower than those of non-molasses control treatment. In addition, molasses treatments increased total microbial cell counts in MRS medium for lactobacillus, but decreased total microbial cell counts in PDA medium for fungi. Molasses supplementation to silage materials increased in vitro dry matter disappearance rate. Molasses supplementation tended to increase silage intake in Korean native goat (experiment II), however, the difference was not significant. It is concluded that molasses supplementation to silage materials in ensiling Daesihotang meal could improve its preservability and palatability, the larger the amount the better the quality.

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of molasses supplementation to silage materials in ensiling Galgeuntang (herbal medicine) meal on the quality of silage, and its palatability in Korean native goats. In experiment I, molasses was added at the levels of 0, 0.5, and 1.0% to Galgeuntang meal with three replicates per treatment. In experiment II, three 1.5-yr-old Korean native goats were used to measure palatability. In experiment I, lactic acid contents in molasses treatments were significantly(p<0.05) higher, and pH and butyric acid contents were lower than those of non-molasses treatment. In addition, molasses treatment increased total microbial cell counts in MRS medium for lactobacillus, but decreased total microbial cell counts in PDA medium for fungi. Molasses supplementation to silage materials increased in vitro dry matter disappearance. Molasses supplementation tended to increase silage intake in Korean native goat (experiment II), but the difference was not significant(p>0.05). It is concluded that molasses supplementation to silage materials in ensiling herbal medicine meal could improve its preservability and palatability, the higher the better.
