Effect of epiphytic microflora after aerobic enrichment and reconstitution on fermentation quality and microbial community of corn stalk silage and Pennisetum sinese silage.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of enrichment and reconstitution of the forage epiphytic microflora on the fermentation quality, chemical composition, and bacterial community composition of corn stalk and Pennisetum sinese silages.

Methods

The forage juice of fresh corn stalk and P. sinese were collected, diluted by gradient (10^-1 to 10^-5), and aerobically incubated to enrich and reconstitute the epiphytic microflora. Fresh corn stalk and P. sinese were ensiled for 3, 15, and 45 days after inoculation with either the original (D0) pre-incubated juices, or 10^-1 (D1), 10^-3 (D3), or 10^-5 (D5) diluted and pre-incubated juices.

Results

The lowest pH was found in
