The Ratio of Fermented Mother Liquor and Molasses as Additives in Making Elephant Grass Silage (Pennisetum purpureum Cv. Thailand) and Corn Cob (Zea Mays. L) on the Quality of Ensilage Results
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of the ratio of fermented mother liquor (FML) and molasses as additives in the manufacture of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Thailand) and corn stalks (Zea mays) silage on the quality of ensilage results in terms of nutrient concentration and in vitro digestibility. The research materials were elephant grass of the Pakchong variety and corn stalks. FML and molasses were added to elephant grass and corn stalks in the processing of ensilage. This study used a Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments and 3 replications in total elephant grass and corn stalks so that 24 experimental research units were obtained. The treatments were P1 = corn cob+ additive (FML 0% + 6% Molasses), P2: (FML 2% + 4% Molasses), P3: (FML 4% + 2% Molasses) P4: (FMl 6% + 0% Molasses) and P1: R. Gajah + additive (FML 0% + 6% Molasses), P2: (FML 2% + 4% Molasses), P3 (FML 4% + 2% Molasses), P4 (FML 6% + 0% Molasses). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), if the results obtained were significantly different, then continued with Duncan’s Multiple Test. The results showed that the treatment had a very significant effect (P <0.01) on the content of BO, PK and LK as well as KCBK and KCBO. The study concludes that the use of the Ratio at P4: (FMl 6% + Molasses 0%) can produce silage in the very good category of ensilage on elephant grass and corn stalks in terms of green forage preservation with a pH below 4.2 and has good nutritional value with a PK content of around 12% and BO digestibility above 60%.
