摘要

The study was carried out with the main objective to prepare silage using leaves of Melocanna bacifera a dominantly available bamboo species in Mizoram. The chemical composition and fermentation coefficient (FC) of the fresh bamboo leaves were analyzed before silage preparation. The DM content of the fresh bamboo leaves (Melocanna baccifera) was 40.38 g per 100 g of fresh bamboo leaves. The buffering capacity of the bamboo leaves sample was estimated 30.95 mE per 100 g DM. A lower water soluble content (WSC) of the fresh bamboo (4.8%) leaves makes it difficult for ensiling without additives. A uniform spray of molasses solution (4%) was applied and compacted until filled to the bamboo basket and silo bag capacity. Lastly, the basket and silo bags were made airtight and left unopened for 45, 60, 75 and 90 days. By the end of treatment period, portion of the silage materials were taken to evaluate the quality of ensiled bamboo leaves before offering to the lactating dairy cattle. The present research revealed that the duration of storage of bamboo leaves silage, beyond 45 days, resulted in a decline in its nutrient composition, organic acid content, and fermentation characteristics. In comparison to bamboo basket silage (BBS), it was found that silo bag silage (SBS) had the highest quality at 45 days of ensiling for animal feeding.
