Objective: To explore feed resources capable of replacing regular poor-quality fodder, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of additives on the fermentation quality, in vitro digestibility and aerobic stability of mulberry leaves silage. Methods: The mulberry leaves were ensiled either untreated (control) or treated with 1×10⁶ cfu/g fresh matter Lactobacillus plantarum (L), 1% glucose (G), 3% molasses (M), a combination of 1% glucose and Lactobacillus plantarum (L+G), and a combination of 3% molasses and Lactobacillus plantarum (L+M). The fermentation quality and chemical composition were analyzed after 7, 14, 30, and 60 d, respectively. The 60-d silages were subjected to an aerobic stability test and fermented with buffered rumen fluid to measure the digestibility. Results: Inoculating lactic acid bacteria (LAB) resulted in more rapid increase in lactic acid concentrations and decline in pH of mulberry leaves silage as compared control. Higher acetic acid and lower ethanol and ammonia nitrogen concentrations (p<0.05) were observed in the LAB-inoculated silages as opposed to control during ensiling. The LAB-inoculated silages contained lower water-soluble carbohydrates compared with control during the first 14 d of ensiling, and lower neutral detergent fibre (p<0.05) concentrations as compared with non-LAB inoculated silages. Adding molasses alone increased (p<0.05) the digestibility of dry matter (DM). The aerobic stability of mulberry leaves silage was increased by LAB inoculation, whereas decreased by adding glucose or molasses. Conclusion: The LAB inoculation improved fermentation quality and aerobic stability of mulberry leaves silage, while adding glucose or molasses failed to affect the fermentation and impaired the aerobic stability. Inoculating LAB alone is recommended for mulberry leaves especially when ensiled at a relatively high DM.

한우 고급육 생산을 위한 사양관리에 있어 기능성 사료의 활용 가능성을 규명하기 위해 뽕나무 사일리지의 기능성 성분 및 항산화 활성효능을 분석하였다. 뽕나무 사일리지의 일반 성분을 분석한 결과, 건물함량 $28.41{\pm}3.12%$, 조단백질 함량 $12.43{\pm}0.28%$, 조지방 함량 $2.47{\pm}0.18%$, 조섬유 함량 $20.29{\pm}0.75%$ 및 조회분 함량 $6.98{\pm}0.12%$였다. 뽕나무 사일리지에 함유된 활성성분의 분석 결과, 대표적 활성성분으로 혈당강하성분인 1-deoxynojirimycin(1-DNJ)의 함량이 0.568mg/g으로 검량되었으며 혈압강하성분인 GABA($\gamma$-Aminobutyric acid)의 함량은 5,936.22 pmol의 농도가 검출되었다. Flavonoid는 본 연구에서 검출이 되지 않았으며 총 phenol이 21.69${\mu}g/mg$ 정도 함유된 것으로 분석되었다. 뽕나무 사일리지의 DPPH radical 소거활성은 뽕나무 사일리지 추출물의 농도가 높아질수록 비례해서 활성효과가 크게 나타나고 있었으며 0.25mg/ml의 농도에서 50% 이상의 활성효과가 인정되었고, Hydroxyl radical 소거 활성 역시 0.5-2.0mg/ml로 농도가 높아질수록 활성 효과가 커지는 것을 알 수 있었으며 2.0mg/ml의 농도에서는 50% 이상의 활성효과를 나타냈다. Alkyl radical 소거 활성은 보다 낮은 농도에서 높은 활성효과를 나타내었는데 0.125mg/ml의 농도에서 50% 이상의 활성효과를 나타내고 있어 이 역시 높은 항산화 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 통해 뽕나무 사일리지의 기능성 가축사료화의 의미를 충분히 가질 수 있을 것으로 평가된다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of wilting and additives on the fermentation quality, structural and non-structural carbohydrate composition of mulberry silages. Methods: The selected lactic acid bacteria strains Lactobacillus plantarum 'LC279063' (L1), commercial inoculant Gaofuji (GF), and Trichoderma viride cellulase (CE) were used as additives for silage preparation. Silage treatments were designed as control (CK), L1, GF, or CE under three wilting rates, that is wilting for 0, 2, or 4 hours (h). After ensiling for 30 days, the silages were analyzed for the chemical and fermentation characteristics. Results: The results showed that wilting had superior effects on increasing the non-structural carbohydrate concentration and degrading the structural carbohydrate. After ensiling for 30 days, L1 generally had a higher fermentation quality than other treatments, indicated by the lower pH value, acetic acid, propionic acid and ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) content, and the higher lactic acid, water soluble carbohydrate, glucose, galactose, sucrose, and cellobiose concentration (p<0.05) at any wilting rate. Wilting could increase the ratio of lactic acid/acetic acid and decrease the content of NH₃-N. Conclusion: The results confirmed that wilting degraded the structural carbohydrate and increased the non-structural carbohydrate; and L1 exhibited better properties in improving fermentation quality and maintaining a high non-structural carbohydrates composition compared with the other treatments.

Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the possible application of Broussonetia papyrifera (B. papyrifera) silage as a functional feeding stuff in dairy cattle. Methods: Seventy-two Holstein cows were divided into four groups randomly and allocated to 6 pens with 3 individuals in each group and fed the original total mixed ratio (TMR) in the dairy farm or the new TMR with 5%, 10%, and 15% B. papyrifera silage, separately. Feed intake were recorded, milk and blood samples were collected, and milk composition, blood metabolites and milk fatty acids composition were measure at the end of the experiment. Results: Dry matter intake of cows decreased when they fed on diet with B. papyrifera, but no differences were observed in body condition score, milk yield, milk protein and lactose, feed efficiency and serum metabolites between groups. Both 10% or 15% of B. papyrifera silage in the diet significantly increased the immunoglobulin A (IgA) and IgG in serum, 15% of B. papyrifera silage increased the content of serum catalase, superoxide dismutase, total antioxidant capacity, and decreased the content of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine. Furthermore, 10% or 15% of B. papyrifera silage resulted in a significant decrease in the milk somatic cell count, and increased the polyunsaturated fatty acids content in the milk. Conclusion: The diets with 10% to 15% of B. papyrifera silage might enhance the immune and antioxidant function of dairy cows and increase the polyunstaturated fatty acid concentration in the milk.
