“…The effects of CCA addition on increasing silage pH and organic acids concentration regardless of the preensiling moisture levels of TMR is likely attributed to the high buffering capacity of CCA. The findings of the present study are in agreement with Wilkin-son and Davies (2013), Haag et al (2015) and Niu et al (2018) reports in which improvements in organic acids concentration and buffering capacity of silages were observed. The content of ammonia nitrogen was increased with greater levels of CCA addition.…”

“…The lactic acid content in each group was low in the early stage of fermentation, and then the activity of lactic acid bacteria was enhanced to produce a large amount of lactic acid, which gradually increased to the maximum. The increased lactic acid content began to inhibit the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria, and the lactic acid content began to decrease until it reached a stable level, which was in line with Nicola et al's study [31]. The addition of cellulase supplied a fermentation substance for lactic acid bacteria to produce lactic acid and reduce silage pH.…”

The aim of this experiment is to investigate the effects of lactic acid bacteria and cellulase on the fermentation quality, chemical composition, aerobic stability and ruminal degradation characteristics of mixed silage prepared with amaranth and rice straw. Lactic acid bacteria and cellulase were used as silage additives, and the four treatments were as follows: control group (CON, no additive), lactic acid bacteria group (LAB, additive amount was 5 mg/kg fresh matter), cellulase group (CEL, 2 mg/kg) and lactic acid bacteria and cellulase group (LBC, additive amount was the same as in the individual treatments). All treatments were ensiled for 60 days. The dry-matter, crude-protein, neutral-detergent-fiber and acid-detergent-fiber ruminal degradability of silage were analyzed utilizing the nylon bag method. Compared with the CON group, the inoculation of lactic acid bacteria and cellulase individually promoted the fermentation of mixed silage to a certain degree. The combined inoculation of mixed silage significantly increased (p < 0.05) the concentrations of lactic acid and dry matter, while it reduced (p < 0.05) the pH and ammonia nitrogen/total nitrogen, harmful microorganism counts and contents of acetic acid, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber. In addition, the aerobic stability time of the LBC group was lower (p < 0.05) than that of the other groups. The ruminal degradation rate of dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber in the LBC group was significantly increased (p < 0.05) compared to the CON group. Overall, the addition of the additives mentioned earlier improved the quality of mixed silage composed of amaranth and rice straw, and the best results were obtained by combining the inoculation of lactic acid bacteria and cellulase.

“…In addition, Mn also can increase the growth rate of LAB because it plays a role in detoxifying peroxides (Pahlow, Muck, Driehuis, Oude Elferink, & Spoelstra, 2003). However, Haag et al (2015) reported that maize silage ensiled with MnSO 4 (1 and 3 lg/g FM) had a low production of lactic acid in the first days, which was attributed to the fact that higher concentration of Mn can be toxic to LAB. Given the similar chemical-compositional characteristics and equal level of Mn (4 to 8 lg/g FM), it can be deduced that Mn might also have had a negative effect on the growth of LAB in the first days.…”

“…In general, starch cannot be utilized by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) but can be degraded by many aerobic microorganisms (Jones, ; Sun et al., ), so high starch content could help aerobic microorganisms prevail in silages and lead to more rapid aerobic deterioration. However, high BC is likely to favour the production of organic acids (Haag, Steinbrenner, Demmig, Nägele, & Oechsner, ; Wilkinson & Davies, ), and a high concentration of organic acids helps to improve the aerobic stability of silages (Muck & O'Kiely, ; Nishino et al., ). Therefore, we hypothesized that starch content and BC might be two crucial compositional factors affecting the aerobic stability of silage.…”

Chemical‐compositional characteristics of crops are crucial factors affecting the fermentation profile and aerobic stability of silages. To evaluate the effects of starch content and buffering capacity, fresh smooth bromegrass was ensiled alone (control), with 9% maize meal (MM), or with a mixture of 9% maize meal and 1.5% limestone (MX) on a fresh matter basis in sealed plastic bags. After 1, 3, 14 and 56 days of ensiling, triplicate bags of each treatment were opened for chemical and microorganism analyses, and then the samples ensiled for 56 days were placed in polyethylene containers to evaluate their aerobic stability. During the early days of ensiling, the mixtures of maize meal and limestone favoured lactic acid bacteria growth, lactic acid production and decrease in pH values. After 56 days of ensiling, the MX‐treated silages had significantly higher (p < .05) lactic acid, ammonia‐N and buffering capacity compared with the silages treated with other additives. The aerobic stability of MM‐treated silages was significantly lower (p < .05) than that of the control silages, but the MX‐treated silages showed higher (p < .05) aerobic stability than the other groups. The changes of organic acids and pH in the MX‐treated silages were also delayed, which inhibited the growth of aerobic bacteria and yeasts. These results indicate that maize meal improved the fermentation profile of smooth bromegrass silage but had a negative effect on its aerobic stability; however, limestone played important roles in both accelerating fermentation and the improvement of aerobic stability.
