Enhancing Bio-Methane Potential from Sugarcane Leaves through Innovative Silage Additives

Short Introductive summary

In this study, we explore the potential of enhancing bio-methane production from wilted sugarcane leaves (WSCL) silage through the application of various additives. These additives, including hydrogenic effluent (HE), methanogenic effluent (ME), Lactobacillus plantarum (LAB), and distilled water (dH2O) as a control, were examined for their impact on lactic and acetic acid concentrations, pH levels, and lignocellulose degradation in the silage. Our findings highlight distinct patterns in acid concentrations and degradation rates, with ME silage exhibiting the highest lignocellulose degradation at 45.52%. Furthermore, the maximum methane yield (MY) in silage ensiled with ME, HE, and LAB surpassed that of the control, suggesting that ensiling, with improvements ranging from 21% to 37%, holds promise as a viable strategy for optimizing biogas production from WSCL.
