Changes in distribution of amino acid N of chopped wheat plants ensiled at shooting and flowering when wilted, and at the milk and dough stages as fresh material, were determined as affected by addition of 0.8% propionic acid (PrA) or 2.2% urea phosphate-Ca propionate (UP-CaPr). Analyses were carried out after an ensiling period of 90 days and after a further aerobic exposure period (AE) of 7 days. Total amino acid (TAA) contents in the dry matter (D.M.) during the fermentation period and in the AE were stable in untreated material (UM) and treated material. Concentration of essential amino acids decreased during fermentation, this decrease being higher in the UM. The free amino acids were low in the fresh material (18.6% of TAA) but increased in the ensiled material to .apprx. 71% of the TAA in the silage. In the AE this level was 63% in UM and 69% in treated material. The NH3-N contents increased during fermentation in UM and especially in the UP-CaPr treatments; the opposite occurred in the PrA treatments. The concentrations of and changes in 21 amino acids (AA) are given. The highest AA concentrations recorded in the fresh material were those of arginine, lysine, glutamic acid, alanine, leucine, proline and glycine. The most marked increments in AA as a result of fermentation were those of ornithine, .gamma.-amino butyric acid, threonine and methionine. Marked decreases were observed in glutamine, arginine and glutamic acid. PrA increased mainly arginine, asparagine and glutamine; .gamma.-amino butyric acid decreased; UP-CaPr increased arginine, asparagine, lysine and glutamic acid (in silage only) and reduced .gamma.-amino butyric acid and glutamine (in AE only).
