Abstract

Abstract The production of rapidly acidifying laboratory silage provides support for the hypothesis that rate of fall of pH in the early stages is the vital factor in the preservation of free arginine and lysine produced in ensilage, inhibiting the extensive decarboxylation which occurs under conditions of more gradual production of acid and of high pH.
