This study examined the potential of duckweed powder (DWP) on in vitro fermentation characteristics, nutrient degradability, microbial change, and methane (CH) production using in vitrostudy technique. This investigation used a 2 × 6 factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design (CRD) by different roughage-to-concentrate (R: C) ratios of 60:40 and 40:60 combined with DWP supplementation levels at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10% of the total dry matter (DM) substrate, respectively. There was an interaction effect by R: C ratios combined with DWP supplementations that changed gas production rate, pH value (4 h; h), volatile fatty acid (VFA) (8 h), in vitro dry matter degradability (IVDMD) at 12 h, and concentration of ammonium nitrogen (NH-N) (p < 0.

This study aimed to assess and compare the impact of both the chopping method and different yeast strains on ensilage quality including the in vitro evaluation of corn silage. Both types of corn, including chopped and shredded, were harvested on the same day from the same field where the same corn hybrid (Suwan 5) was grown.
