Abstract:

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of addition amount of molasses on nutritional value,fermentation quality and microbial diversity of hybrid Broussonetia papyrifera L. Vent silage. The four treatments were control group(without additive),M5 group(5 g/kg molasses),M10 group(10 g/kg molasses)and M20 group(20 g/kg molasses). Each group had four replicates and ensiled for 60 d. As results,with an increase of molasses addition amount,the contents of dry matter and crude protein of hybrid B. papyrifera L.Vent silages linearly increased(P < 0.05),while the contents of neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber linearly decreased(P < 0.05). With an increase of molasses addition amount,the lactic acid content of hybrid B. papyrifera L.Vent silages linearly increased(P = 0.002),while pH,butyric acid content and NH3-N/TN linearly decreased(P < 0.05). At the phylum level,the dominant phylum in hybrid B. papyrifera L.Vent silages were Firmicutes,followed by Proteobacteria. At the genus level,the proportion of Lactobacillus significantly increased in the M10 and M20 group than the CK and M5 group(P = 0.005),while the proportion of Weissella significantly decreased(P = 0.003). The proportions of Clostridium_sensu_stricto_12 and Enterobacter in the M5,M10 and M20 groups were lower than those in the CK group(P < 0.05). In conclusion,the addition of molasses improved the nutritional value and fermentation quality of hybrid B. papyrifera L. Vent silage,increased the proportion of Lactobacillus,and reduced the proportion of Clostridium_sensu_stricto_12 and Enterobacter. The hybrid B. papyrifera L. Vent silage added with 20 g/kg molasses had the best nutritional value and fermentation quality.
