“…This is partly due to restricted fermentation, a lack of sufficient energy for optimal multiplication and growth of lactic acid bacteria. The present result confirms previous findings on the benefit of molasses addition when ensiling tropical grasses because it stimulates maximum growth of lactic acid bacteria and consequently higher lactic acid concentrations in the silage (Baskay et al, 1999;Aminah et al, 2000;Bureenok et al, 2005). At all ensiling times acetic acid concentration in unwilted silages was lower in the molasses added silage than those without molasses (Table 3).…”

Silages made from directly cut or wilted Digitaria eriantha treated with or without molasses were evaluated to determine fermentative characteristics. The grass was harvested at the boot stage of growth and the material was ensiled in 1 kg mini-silos. Treatments were arranged in a factorial design of two moisture levels (directly cut or wilted) and two molasses addition (with or without molasses). Each treatment was ensiled in 12 separate bottles. The pH of molasses added silage declined faster than the pH of silage without molasses. The pH of unwilted silages continued to decline up to day 120 post ensiling compared to wilted treatments. Lactic acid concentration was higher for molasses added silage than those made without molasses at all ensiling times, and also higher for directly cut silage than those wilted prior to ensiling. In direct cut silages, acetic acid concentration was lower for molasses added silage than those made without molasses at all ensiling times. In both silages, with or without molasses, the acetic acid concentrations were significantly higher for unwilted silage than silage wilted prior to ensiling. The ammonia nitrogen (NH 3 -N) as percentage of total nitrogen (N) was higher in unwilted silage than prior wilted silage without molasses, while in the presence of molasses the effect of wilting on NH 3 -N as percentage of total N was not significant.

“…When the epiphytic LAB reach at least 10 5 cfu g −1 of FM, good quality silage can be made (Bureenok et al . ). In this study, LAB, aerobic bacteria, coliform bacteria, molds and yeasts were found in the native grasses and the aerobic bacteria dominated the microorganisms before ensiling.…”

Silage was made from the dominant native grasses growing on the Inner Mongolian Plateau, including Baical needlegrass (Stipa baicalensis), China leymus (Leymus chinensis), Scabrous hideseedgrass (Cleistogenes squarrosa), Ruthenia medic (Melissilus ruthenicus) and Slenderleaf pulsatilla (Pulsatilla turczaninovii) and their microbial populations, chemical composition and silage fermentation were studied. Before ensiling, these grasses contained per g of fresh matter (FM) 105 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cell‐forming units (cfu), 107 aerobic bacteria, 103–105 coliform bacteria, yeasts and molds. The LAB counts increased rapidly after 2 days of fermentation and remained dominant during the fermentation process. After 7 days of ensiling, the coliform bacteria and molds were below detectable levels in all silages. The crude protein (CP) of these grasses ranged from 8.93 to 14.95% of dry matter (DM), and the neutral detergent fiber (NDF) comprised 58.29–70.05% of DM. Crude protein content of Ruthenia medic was higher and the NDF and acid detergent fiber (ADF) contents of Slenderleaf pulsatilla were lower than those of the other grasses. During ensiling, the organic matter, CP, ether extract, NDF and ADF contents in each kind of silage did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). During the progression of ensiling, the lactic acid and acetic acid contents increased in all silages, while the pH decreased. At day 30, all silages had similar fermentation patterns; more than 0.58% FM lactic acid was produced and the pH was reduced below 4.44. The results suggest that the native grasses can be used to prepare good quality silages.

Two additives (bacterial inoculants and fibrolytic enzymes) were tested for their effects on fermentation characteristics, in vitro digestibility, mold counts and aflatoxin (B1, B2, G1 and G2) content in corn silages. Whole‐plant corn was harvested with one‐half milk line stage and ensiled after the following treatments: (i) untreated (CON); (ii) bacterial inoculants at 105 CFU g−1 of fresh forage (B); (iii) fibrolytic enzymes at 100 U g−1 of fresh forage (E); and (iv) mixture of bacterial inoculants and enzymes at 105 CFU g−1 and 100 U g−1 of fresh forage, respectively (B+E). All the additives increased the lactic acid content and in vitro dry matter digestibility (P < 0.05), decreased ammonia nitrogen content (P < 0.05). E and B+E decreased the neutral detergent fiber content and increased the crude protein, in vitro digestibility of neutral detergent fiber and crude protein (P < 0.05). Aflatoxins content and mold counts for treated silage were lower than untreated silage (P < 0.05) throughout the air exposure stages (0, 1, 5, and 10 days). Additionally, the aflatoxins were not detected in B treated silage after 0 day exposure to air and in B+E throughout the air exposure stages.
