Another toxicological problem that can result from excessive nitrate in plant material is the generation of toxic nitrogen dioxide gas (see Section 11.3) during the fermentation of ensilage composed of chopped plant matter contaminated with nitrate. The toxic effect of N02 from this source has been called silo-filler s disease.

Nitrate content is also one of indicators of fodder quality. Numerous cases of cattle poisoning by nitrates present in fodder have been reported in various countries, and many heads of cattle were lost from affected herds. Feed beetroot, cabbage, mustard, sunflower, oat, as well as various types of ensilage used as green fodder may contain potentially toxic levels of nitrate. The toxic level of nitrate for animals is... 

USE Both forms of lactose are employed, with the a-form predominating as a nutrient in preparing modified milk and food for infants and convalescents (Whittier, "Lactose and Its Utilization. foe. cit review with 327 ref). In baking mixtures. Pharmaceutic aid (tablet and capsule diluent). To produce lactic acid fermentation in ensilage and food products. As chromatographic adsorbent in analytical chemistry. In culture media. For many other uses see the comprehensive review by Weisberg Recent Progress in the Manufacture and Use of Lactose, toe. cit. 

Many other products than ensilage com may be siloed with greater or lesB difficulties. 

Detailed studies of many kinds of ensilage were made from the time the material entered the silo and at frequent intervals until ensilage was formed. The following kinds of ensilage were examined cane, kaffir, cane fodder, alfalfa, and several kinds of ensilage made... 

Some species of the LAB group such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum, and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis, are known for their capability to produce diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) from citrate, and this metabolism appears especially relevant in the field of dairy products (Figure 13.4). Actually, selected strains belonging to the above species are currently added as starter cultures to those products, e.g., butter, in which diacetyl imparts the distinctive and peculiar aroma. Nevertheless, in particular conditions where there is a pyruvate surplus in the medium (e.g., in the presence of an alternative source of pyruvate than the fermented carbohydrate, such as citrate in milk or in the presence of an alternative electron acceptor available for NAD+ regeneration) (Axelsson, 2(X)9, pp. 1-72), even other LAB such as lactobacilli and pediococci can produce diacetyl by the scanted pyruvate (Figure 13.5). Thus, in addition to butter and dairy products, diacetyl can be present in other fermented foods and feeds, such as wine and ensilage (Jay, 1982).
