Results of domestic research about the effects of silage additives based on zeolite

Abstract

In this paper a summary of domestic results was given about the use of additives based on zeolite in ensiling. Those additives decrease silage contamination with mycotoxins, adsorb part of the ammonia produced and intensify lactic acid fermentation. The positive influence of additives based on zeolite is occurring when material with large quantities of fermentable sugars is used, while its efficiency in lucerne ensiling depends on usage of high doses of zeolite.

U radu je dat pregled domaćih rezultata u vezi korišćenja dodataka na bazi zeolita pri siliranju. Ovakvi dodaci smanjuju kontaminiranost silirane hrane mikotoksinima, adsorbuju deo nagrađenog amonijaka i intenziviraju mlečnokiselinsko vrenje. Pozitivan uticaj dodataka na bazi zeolita ispoljava se pri siliranju materijala sa velikom količinom fermentabilnih šećera, dok je njegova efikasnost pri siliranju lucerke uslovljena korišćenjem znatno većih doza.
