Abstract

The crude by-product left after industrial processing of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) was ensiled in microsilos and sampled at different times. To evaluate its suitability as animal feed, various fermentative, chemical and phytosanitary parameters were determined. The by-product showed a good aptitude for ensilage, having a pleasant smell and good visual characteristics. The DM content was 297 g kg^-1, and no effluents were detected. It stabilized after 12 days of ensiling and showed a pH value of 4.1 at the end of the process. Only small losses were detected in its chemical value after the ensiling period. Prometryn was the only phytosanitary product found at day 0 (0.04 ppm a concentration below the maximum amount permitted by law), but was not detected after 12 days of ensilage. It is concluded that the silage by-product can be used as animal feed.
