Abstract
This work was designed to process banana wastes as hay and trying to improve its utilization by ensiling either untreated or supplemented with one of two kinds of bacteria inoculants . Determination of silage quality and anti – nutritional factors were studied .The effect of replacing clover hay by banana wastes as hay or untreated or treated silage on DM intakes , digestion coefficients , nutritive values and nitrogen balance. About 650 Kg banana hay were prepared and three tested silages in sixty plastic barrels (20 for each treatment ) with a capacity of 7.5 tons ( 2.5 tons each ) were used for ensiling the untreated silage , silage inoculated by H/MF inoculants ( homo fermentative acidophilic bacteria ) or inoculated by 11C33 inoculants ( Dual purpose contains homofermentative and hetrofermentative lactic acid bacteria ) .
The results indicated that all banana silages were excellent have a firm texture , good smell , free from signs of molds , dust smells , caramelized and tobacco or vinegar . All silages had a normal of pH ( 3.70 to 4.03) with the superiority of those treated by 11C33 inoculants . The overall means of TVFA,s ranged between 7.15 to 7.85 ml mol / 100 ml , being higher for treated silages . Silage treated by (11C33 ) inoculants recorded the least concentration of NH3 – N (2.12 % ) . The fast rate of pH decline with inoculants silages imply a quick establishment of anaerobic in the silo and minimizing time of ensiling by two weeks . Silage treated with dual purpose bacteria inoculants (11C33) remained unspoiled and markedly improved aerobic stability of silage . The ensiling of banana wastes either with or without additives depressed the presence of some anti – nutritional factors . The results showed that fed rams with ensiled banana wastes either untreated or inoculated increased significantly ( P<0.05) the digestibility of OM , CP , CF , NDF and ADL and improved significantly ( P< 0.05 ) TDN and DCP values. Ensiling banana wastes with dual purpose bacterial inoculants had big advantages , improved the aerobic stability of silage and participate in feeding animals and minimize such problems of disposal pollution .
