Abstract
Effects of crop species on indigenous microflora and of silage additives on the microbial succession during the ensiling process (1991)
Highlights
Indigenous microorganisms are important in silage preservation
This study considered the effects of crop species and silage additives on six categories of indigenous microorganisms important to silage fermentation, and on the microbial succession during the ensiling process
Alfalfa treated with Biomate® inoculant and the combination of dextrose and Biomate showed higher lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts than the control and dextrose treatments at 1 day post-ensiling
Summary
Indigenous (epithytic) microorganisms are important in silage preservation. are they responsible for silage fermentation, but they influence the effectiveness of silage additives.
