Abstract

The experiment was carried out at the College of Agricultural and Veterinarian Sciences of São Paulo State University, campus of Jaboticabal, Brazil to evaluate fermentation characteristics, nutritive value of the no wet, wilted and no wet plus citrus pulp (5.0% of fresh forage) Tifton 85 silage. The samples were taken 80 days after ensiling, and at 15, and 30 days after air exposition. We evaluated the silage dry matter (DM) content, fermentation characteristics (pH, ammonia N, organic acids), crude protein (CP), cell wall contents (CWC), and
