BAGAÇO DE CANA DE AÇÚCAR (Saccharum officinarum L.) NA ENSILAGEM DO CAPIM ELEFANTE (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) COM OU SEM INOCULANTE BACTERIANO

The objective was to evaluate the effect of different levels of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) and sugarcane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum L.) on the use of bacterial inoculant on quality and conservation of silages. A 5 × 2 factorial scheme (with five levels of inclusion of elephant grass 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80%, in the absence (I0) or presence (I1) of bacterial inoculant) was added with urea, in a completely with four replicates. For regression analysis, the effect of pH (P <0.01), effluent loss (P <0.05) and dry matter recovery index (P <0.05) P
