| Feedstuff | DM | pH | Lactic Acid | Acetic Acid | n-Butyric Acid | NH3-N |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grass silage | 377 | 4.35 | 266.8 (14.1) | 21.4 (0.0) | 1.5 (0.0) | 1.8 (0.0) |
| PCFPS | 610 | 4.38 | 91.6 (3.5) | 13.7 (0.1) | n.d. | 1.0 (0.0) |
| Corn silage | 328 | 3.80 | 90.9 (1.3) | 17.7 (0.3) | n.d. | 1.5 (0.0) |
DM: dry matter; n.d.: below limit of detection; PCFPS: partial crop field pea silage; DM is given as g /kg; lactic acid, acetic acid, n-butyric acid is given as g/kg DM. NH3-N is given as %/CP. Standard deviation is given in brackets.
