Community Synergy of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Cleaner Fermentation of Oat Silage Prepared with a Multispecies Microbial Inoculant.

ABSTRACT: To investigate community synergy of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cleaner fermentation of oat silage, oat silages were prepared with or without (control) commercial LAB inoculants LI1 (containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lentilactobacillus buchneri, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, and Pediococcus acidilactici) and LI2 (containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lentilactobacillus buchneri). The microbial community, LAB synergy, and cleaner fermentation were analyzed at 1, 3, 6, 15, 35, and 90 days of ensiling. The LAB inoculant improved fermentation quality, with significantly (P < 0.05) lower pH, ammonia nitrogen content, and gas production and higher lactic acid and acetic acid contents than those of the control. Enterobacteriaceae was the main bacterial commu
