“…Several studies have shown that the application of homofermentative LAB strains can positively affect the content of crude protein, neutral-detergent fiber and acid-detergent fiber depending on the amount of inoculant (Choi et al, 2015(Choi et al, , 2016Kim et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2018). The positive effect of ho LAB on fermentation parameters of rye silages was also confirmed (Kim et al, 2017;Choi et al, 2015Choi et al, , 2016Haag et al, 2016. According to the results of several studies (Haag et al, 2016;Kim et al, 2017;Morais et al, 2017;Lee et al, 2018;Paradhipta et al, 2020;, the use of heterofermentative LAB ( he LAB) strains increased the concentration of acetic acid and decreased the content of lactic acid, while the pH value decreased compared to the control silage. While Paradhipta et al (2020) and Joo et al (2017) achieved positive results in the chemical composition of silage using he LAB, Kim et al (2017) and Lee et al (2018) found an adverse effect.…”
