ABSTRACT The current study evaluated the impact of aerobic exposure time (ET) and microbial inoculants (MI) on the fermentative and microbiological characteristics and the nutritional value of relocated whole-plant corn silage (WPCS). Treatments were arranged in a 4 × 5 factorial design: microbial inoculants (without inoculant (WI); L. plantarum (DSM3676; DSM3677) + L. buchneri (DSM13573) (LPLB); L. plantarum (MA18/5U) + P. acidipropionici (MA26/4U) (LPPA); and L. buchneri (DSM13573) (LB)) and non-relocated (NR) or relocated after 12, 24, 48, and 60 […]

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of microbial additives containing heterofermentative or homofermentative bacteria on the chemical and microbiological characteristics of sugar cane (Saccharum spp) silages. Sugar cane was inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum, L. paracasei, L. brevis or L. buchneri previously isolated from sugar cane silages or commercial inoculants containing L. buchneri or L. plantarum. Silages were produced in laboratory silos (10 × 60 cm PVC tubes) and evaluated 90 days after ensiling. A randomized complete […]

Two trials were performed to evaluate the nutritive value and aerobic stability of sugar cane silage, as well as apparent digestibility of diets containing these silages. In trial 1, sugar cane was ensiled without additive or inoculated with strains NCIMB 40788 of Lactobacillus buchneri (5 x 104 cfu/g wet basis). Silages were sampled, analyzed, and compared with fresh sugar cane. Aerobic stability was evaluated by controlling the temperature, pH, and dry matter losses of the silages. In trial 2, twelve […]
