S.  aCottonseed cake as nutritional additive for sorghum silages.h[electronic resource]  c2023  aOnline.  aThis study aimed to determine the optimal proportion of cottonseed cake (CSC) as an additive in sorghum silage to improve its chemical composition, fermentative profile, microbial populations, losses, dry matter recovery, and aerobic stability. Five treatments were evaluated, varying the inclusion of CSC at ensiling (0, 50, 100, 200, and 200 g kg−1 on fresh matter basis). The results showed that the inclusion of CSC significantly increased the content of dry matter, crude protein, and ether extract in the silages. Water-soluble carbohydrates, buffering capacity, and ammoniacal nitrogen exhibited a linear decrease with increasing CSC inclusion. The populations of lactic acid bacteria and moulds showed a quadratic response to CSC inclusion. The yeast population was completely inhibited with a minimum inclusion of 200 g kg−1 CSC. Aerobic stability and dry matter recovery showed a linear increase with CSC inclusion. These findings indicate that adding CSC to sorghum silage enhances its nutritive value, fermentative profile, dry matter recovery, and effectively inhibits yeast growth, which is recommended to include 200 g kg−1 of CSC for good cost-effectiveness.  aByproducts  aCottonseed  aCottonseed oil  aCottonseed products  aCottonseed protein  aDry matter intake  aGossypium  aLipids  aLipídio  aMatéria Seca  aSilagem  aSorghum Bicolor  aSubproduto  aCaroço de algodão  aSorgo bicolor  aTeor de matéria seca1 aSANTOS, E.
