Compound lactic acid bacteria enhance the aerobic stability of Sesbania cannabina and corn mixed silage.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The strategic delay of aerobic deterioration in Sesbania cannabina and corn (SC) mixed silage, coupled with effective fermentation, could increase the protein-rich silage utilization by ruminants. Thus, we sought to investigate the role of a compound lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculant (Lactobacillus plantarum + Lactobacillus farciminis + Lactobacillus buchneri + Lactobacillus hilgardii; at a level of 10⁶ CFU/g fresh weight) in enhancing the aerobic stability of SC mixed silage. Specifically, we focused on the potential for corn supplementation to improve fermentation quality while concurrently increasing the susceptibility of SC mixed silage to aerobic spoilage.

Results

Results revealed that compound LAB additive diversified the microbial community of
