Abstract

The antifungal and antagonistic properties of the most effective microorganisms of lacto, bifido and spore bacteria, which are part of the bioconservant “IMBIOCON”, have been studied. It was shown that the studied cultures had the highest antagonistic activity against conditional pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus morganii 399, Serratia marcescens, Listeria monocytogenes as well as antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus, Vertisilium dahlium and Alternaria alternata.

Highlights

  • Nowadays, one of the priorities of modern agricultural production is to provide the population with sufficient quantities of highquality livestock products

  • After 3 months of silage, Lactobacillus dominated the bacterial population of silage and reached 59.5, 92.5 and 98.2% in untreated silage treated with L. plantarum and L. buchneri, respectively

  • The lactic acid content was higher in silage with L. plantarum compared to untreated silage and silage treated with L. buchneri

Summary

INTRODUCTION

One of the priorities of modern agricultural production is to provide the population with sufficient quantities of highquality livestock products. High concentrations of lactic acid were observed in silage with the addition of the association of cultures Pp, Lp, Ef and Lp Pp Ef. The quantitative composition of the microflora of silage on the 14th day showed the dominance of L. plantarum, Weissella cibaria and L. pentosaceus after fermentation in all treatment options. It was found that lactic acid bacteria producing class IIA bacteriocin improve the quality of fermentation of silage, reduce the amount of mold and yeast aerobic stability, to a greater extent than inoculation with Lactobacillus plantarum MTD/1, a proven and widely used inoculant, which does not produce bacteriocin. In the contents of the colon, the amount of Lactobacillaceae was significantly higher only in pigs receiving fermented liquid feed with the addition of nonfermented coarse cereals In this variant, an increase in the number of bacteria belonging to the genus Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium was observed. The aim of the investigation was to study the antagonistic and antifungal activity of probiotic strains of microorganisms, preserving feed, promising for the preparation of the biological product "IMBIOCON"
