The Influence of Treatment with Dual Purpose Bacterial Inoculants or Soluble Carbohydrates on the Fermentation and Aerobic Stability of Bermudagrass
TL;DR: BB and molasses treatments improved the digestibility and fermentation of bermudagrass and produced higher quality silages that were stable for 6.9 d, suggesting that a clostridial fermentation had occurred.

Effect of Fibrolytic Enzymes on the Fermentation Characteristics, Aerobic Stability, and Digestibility of Bermudagrass Silage
TL;DR: Results show that when applied at ensiling, certain fibrolytic enzymes (particularly Promote) can improve the digestibility, fermentation, and aerobic stability of bermudagrass silage.

Effect of Method of Adding a Fibrolytic Enzyme to Dairy Cow Diets on Feed Intake Digestibility, Milk Production, Ruminal Fermentation, and Blood Metabolites#
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of applying a fibrolytic enzyme (Promote®; Cargill; Minnetonka, MN) on the performance of lactating dairy cows was investigated.

Nutritional characterization of Mucuna pruriens: 3. Effect of replacing soybean meal with Mucuna on intake, digestibility, N balance and microbial protein synthesis in sheep
S.K. Chikagwa-Malunga,Adegbola T. Adesogan,Nancy J. Szabo,Ramon C. Littell,S.C. Phatak,Sam Churl Kim,Kathy G. Arriola,C.M. Huisden,D.B. Dean,N.A. Krueger +9 more
TL;DR: Mucuna pruriens seeds have relatively high crude protein concentrations, but little is known about their potential to replace commonly used CP supplements in ruminant rations.

TL;DR: Yang et al. as mentioned in this paper found that enzyme application to the dietary forage or the TMR should be more effective than application to concentrate because of greater opportunity for enzyme-induced fiber hydrolysis.
