Biotechnological application of fermented plant extracts in animal nutrition
- Landwirtschaftliche Produktion und Lebensmittel
Abstract
Silages are used to preserve grains and forages for extended periods of time when fresh forage is limited or seasonally unavailable or the fermentation process increases the availability of native compounds for absorption in the gastrointestinal tract (e.g. phosphate release by phytase). However, the inadequate fermentation and poor feed-out management in silos favors the proliferation of mycotoxigenic fungi and spoilage bacteria. The objective is to gain a deeper understanding of the effects and potential benefits of fermented plant extract formulations on livestock digestion by using different analytical methods and model systems.
