Abstract
The effect of the addition of molasses—and inoculation with a mixed lactic culture and Dahi culture—on the fermentation pattern of buffalo dung wastelage was studied. The rate of fermentation increased with the addition of molasses. On addition of mixed lactic culture, the fall in pH was maximum and the lactic acid/total VFA ratio was highest. Coliform bacteria could not be detected in wastelage prepared with mixed lactic inoculum and Dahi cultures and Clostridial growth was restricted. The wastelages from lactic and Dahi cultures showed equally good aerobic stability after 20 and 40 days of fermentation.
