Effect of ensiling time on microbial composition and aerobic stability of total mixture ration

In this study, the effects of ensiling total mixed ration (TMR) on aerobic stability properties were investigated. In the study, half of the TMRwith 55% DM content was fresh and the other half was subjected to aerobic stability test after being siled for 30, 60, 90 days. Chemical and microbiological analyzes were performed on the samples at 0., 24., 48., 72. and 96. hours of aerobic stability. During the aerobic stability of the feed samples, imaging was performed with a thermal camera and the obtained data were evaluated in the ThermaCAM software program.In the light of the research data, we can say that 55% DM TMR is suitable for aerobic stability both in siloed and non-ensilaged form. In the research, sensor data, thermal camera, chemical and microbiological parameters were used as aerobic stability evaluation method. It is not always possible to perform chemical and mycobiological analysis under field conditions. From this point of view, thermal cameras and temperature sensors can be used for this purpose
