Evaluation of two methods for ammonia extraction and analysis in silage samples

Three experiments were carried out to evaluate two methods of ammonia extraction and analysis in corn silage samples. In the first experiment ammonia was extracted with a 2 M KCl and measured either by a phenol-hypochlorite or a microdifusion method. Ammonia content of samples analysed by microdifus...

Description
Summary:Three experiments were carried out to evaluate two methods of ammonia extraction and analysis in corn silage samples. In the first experiment ammonia was extracted with a 2 M KCl and measured either by a phenol-hypochlorite or a microdifusion method. Ammonia content of samples analysed by microdifusion were significantly higher (97.9 versus 61.2 mg of NH 3-N/100 g of dry matter) (P
