| Abstract | Sugar palm peel silage is utilized as a ruminant feed in Thailand. However, quality improvement of the silage is demanded for development of ruminant production. Fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLB) prepared from natural resources is known as a useful inoculant for successful silage production. Although dragon fruit is widely grown in the country, its peel (DFP) is not utilized meaningfully and becomes a waste. In addition, the characteristics of FJLB from DFP (FJLB-DFP) as an inoculum for ensiling are unknown. Thus, this study had objectives to investigate the characteristics of FJLB-DFP as a silage additive and to clarify the effects of FJLB-DFP addition on the chemical composition and digestibility of sugar palm peel silage. The FJLB-DFP was prepared by a 96-hour anaerobic incubation of DFP (T1) or DFP mixed with additional 5% molasses (T2). Although the counts of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) had no significant difference between the treatments, the pH value was lower in T2 than in T1. The addition of 5% molasses to DFP was evaluated to make a better inoculant. The silage was prepared without addition (S1), with 1% FJLB-DFP (S2) and with 1% molasses (S3). The silage with inoculants decreased pH value and increased crude protein, total volatile basic nitrogen, and non-fibrous carbohydrate concentrations. The lowest cellulose content among the treatments was obtained in S2. No adverse effects were found in digestibility and gas production of the silage with FJLB-DFP. Thus, the addition of FJLB-DFP possibly induces a better nutritional quality of sugar palm peel silage. |
