ROMAN “Thesis presented to the faculty of School of Veterinary Medicine, Isabela State University, Echague, Isabela in partial fulfillment of the requirements for degree BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ANIMAL HUSBANDRY (BSAH), major in RUMINANT for the school year 2021-2022. Thesis No._, Department Contribution No. Prepared in the School of Veterinary Medicine under the supervision of MR. ALFORD GLENN C. MANGOBA. ABSTRACT The study was conducted to evaluate the nutritive value of corn (Zea mays) silage with various inoculants for dairy animals at the experimental area in the College of Agriculture, Isabela State University, Echague, Isabela from March to June 2022. The ‘treatments were T\- Control, T:.- Molasses, Ty- Bio-Rumizyme, T,- Lactic Acid Bactena Serum (LABS) and the experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) The crude protein, crude fiber and moisture content which were taken after the samples was analyzed. Insignificant results were revealed in terms of crude protein and crude fiber with treatment means ranging from 9.4 10 10.53 and 23.91 to 26.06 percent Tespectively. However, significant result was observed in terms of moisture content “herein T4 has the highest moisture content Thus, 11 1s therefore recommended that afeeding trial for the produce be undergone and further studied to obtain a more conclusive result Further study must be conducted along this line to make more conclusive result. Keywords: corn silage, nutritive value, various inoculants
