Abstract
Ensiling technique is becoming a common way to preserve fresh corn and grass. This study aimed at evaluating the silages’ quality with a new type of inoculants designed based on the microflora information of the native silages. A total of 33 silage samples were analyzed for their microbial community structure by high throughput sequencing. A total of 73 dominant strains were isolated with a clear goal. The corn was ensiled by dominant strains (Lactobacillus buchneri II JC1-5: Acetobacter pasteurianus DHL-8 = 4:3; 109 CFU/g) as inoculants. In a 15-day trial period, the aerobic stability of this inoculated silage was significantly higher than the control group. There was a positive correlati... More >
