Effects of Vanillic Acid on Dynamic Fermentation Parameter, Nitrogen Distribution, Bacterial Community, and Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Stylo Silage.

ABSTRACT: Vanillic acid (VA) is a phenolic acid derivative commonly found in plants and foods, with a pleasant creamy odor and pharmacologic activities, which is hypothesized to help improve silage fermentation. The silage profile of stylo silage ensiled with addition of VA was evaluated. The results showed that VA addition resulted in the decrease of pH value (5.22 vs. 4.33), dry matter loss (5.37 vs. 2.51% DM), and ammonia-N proportion (14.57 vs. 1.51% CP) of stylo silage as well as the increase of lactic acid concentration (0.51 vs. 1.17% DM), true protein proportion (51.18 vs. 58.47% CP), and saccharification yield (113.64 vs. 126.40 mg/g DM). Meanwhile, bacterial community of stylo silage was altered, where the relative abundance of Enterobacter, Clostridium, and Kosakon
