OBJECTIVE The effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cellulase enzyme on fermentation quality, microorganism population, chemical composition and in vitro gas production of sorghum silages were studied. METHODS Commercial inoculant Lactobacillus plantarum Chikuso 1 (CH), local selected strain Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) TH 14 and Acremonium cellulase (AC) were used as additives in sorgh...

The efficiency of a novel strain of lactic acid bacteria inoculant (Lactobacillus plantarum VTT E-78076, E76) on the fermentation quality of wilted silage was studied. Furthermore, the possibility to improve aerobic stability of silages by combining an inoculant and chemical preservatives was investigated. Two experiments were conducted with wilted timothy-meadow fescue herbage (dry matter 429 ...

Background: Making silage added with additives can improve the quality of nutrition and speed up fermentation process. Molasses are widely used by farmers as for making silage. The use molasses be replaced Fermented Mother Liquor (FML) in Purpose: to determine effect addition on physical chemical corn plant given (FML). Method: Observative data collection direct observations two treatments cons...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of adding citric acid residue (CAR) with or without lactic bacteria (LAB) Napier grass (Cenchrus purpureus; syn. Pennisetum purpureum) cv. Sumu No. 2 at ensiling on fermentation quality and aerobic stability resulting silage. Treatments included: Control (Napier forage additives); inoculated (Lactobacillus plantarum L. buchneri) 1 × 106 cfu/gf...

In our study the presence of bacteria, yeast, and microscopic fungi was evaluated. Three forms corn silage were made including without additive, with microbial additive (lactic acid bacteria), nutritional (urea). Silage additives applied to matter within recommended dosage, then ensiled into plastic bags stored at a constant temperature. After 5.5 months storage, average samples for mycotoxins ...
