The results of investigation show that addition of technologically propossed natural zeolite (Min-a-Zel), when ensiling sugar beet pulp, has influence on the increase of lactic acid production, decrease of content of bonded acetic acid and pH value. The influence of adding Min-a-Zel on chemical composition is less pronounced and has mostly relative character. The only real changes occurred as the increase of ash content. With later ensiling of beet pulp more intensive fermentative processes are achieved and more total organic acids are obtained, which has conserving effects on silage. The use of Min-a-Zel even in the material that had sufficient fermentable sugars induces more intensive activity of lactic acid bacteria.
