Estabilidad aeróbica del ensilaje de pasto Xaraes fertilizado con diferentes niveles de quelato de zinc.

Abstract

The present research work was carried out in the Río Suma experimental farm in the extension of the canton El Carmen, province of Manabí, with the objective of evaluating the aerobic stability of the silage of Xaraes grass fertilized with different levels of zinc chelate, a completely random block design (DBCA) was used, which had 5 treatments which were 0 liters of chelate (control). 0.50, 1.00, 1.50 and 2.00 liters of zinc chelate per hectare and each of these treatments had 4 replications. In addition, all the data obtained were processed using Tukey's 5% test. The chelated doses significantly influenced aerobic stability, both in temperature and pH, demonstrating that the cutting age of 35 days and the zinc chelate did influence statistically, which improved the durability and conservation of the silage of the Xaraes grass.
