Laboratory silos were used in three trials to evaluate sudangrass (slightly or
moderately wilted) and high moisture corn silages, each receiving the following
treatments: (1) control (no additive); (2) CULBAC® dry; (3) CULBAC® liquid; and
(4) ADD-F® (formic acid). Although the 12 silages were well preserved visually,
there were differences in their chemical compositions. Silages treated with
CULBAC dry had the highest DM recoveries and probably the most efficient
fermentations. As expected, formic acid restricted the amount of fermentation, but
surprisingly, it did not improve DM recovery.
