Impact of Cellulase and Lactic Acid Bacteria Inoculant to Modify Ensiling Characteristics and In Vitro Digestibility of Sweet Corn Stover and Cassava Pulp Silage

Improving the productive performance of agricultural residue silage has practical relevance to sustaining livestock production. Sweet corn stover (SCS) and cassava pulp (CSVP) are widespread in tropics as low-cost feed resources. To efficiently prepare SCS CSVP silage, impact adding Acremonium cellulase (AC), Lactobacillus casei strain TH14 inoculant (TH14), their combination (AC+TH14) on ensiling characteristics, microbial population, chemical compositions, vitro digestibility were tested comparison control (no additive). After 60 d ensiling, pH value ammonia nitrogen content lower (p < 0.05) when AC was used additive. Compared with other treatments, provided abundant lactic acid fermentation silage. All additives increased crude protein (CP) decreased neutral detergent fiber (NDF) In only AC+TH14 altered CP NDF content. addition, greater dry matter a digestibility. Overall, optimized either or can be recommended an attractive additive improve characteristics significantly modifies
