“…Previous studies have shown that adding legumes to forage silage can improve the fermentation quality and optimize the microbial community structure, which is a feasible strategy to improve the utilization rate of forage and meet sustainable utilization throughout the year [21]. Stylosanthes guianensis is one of the most adaptable, productive, and quickly growing tropical forage legumes, and it is also widely used in livestock production in many places with tropical or subtropical climates [24,25]. S. guianensis has good feeding nutritional value, such as high crude protein (15-20%), dry matter (15-25%) and good palatability, which can be used as a substitute for reducing protein concentrate in beef cattle breeding diet in tropical conditions [24,26,27].…”

Mixed ensiling of Stylosanthes guianensis and Pennisetum sinese is an alternative method to improve the nutrient composition of feeds for healthy and green ruminant production in the tropics. This study examined the fermentation quality, nutritional composition, and microbial population in silage to select the most suitable ratio of mixed silage containing different proportions of S. guianensis and P. sinese. It was completely randomized and consisted of four treatments with five replications based on fresh weight as follows: S0, 100% P. sinese; S15, 85% P. sinese + 15% S. guianensis; S30, 70% P. sinese + 30% S. guianensis; and S45, 55% P. sinese + 45% S. guianensis. The silage samples were opened and detected after ensiling for 30 days. The results showed that the content of dry matter and crude protein in mixed silage increased with the increase in S. guianensis, while the content of acid detergent fiber decreased significantly, and the maximum or minimum value appeared in the S45 group. As the proportion of S. guianensis increased, the pH, ammonia nitrogen, and acetic acid in mixed silage gradually increased, but the lactic acid content decreased. In addition, the content of lactic acid bacteria and yeast showed a significant downward trend. Further study showed that there was a complex correlation between nutrient compositions, fermentation characteristics, and microbial numbers in mixed silage, especially dry matter, crude protein, and lactic acid bacteria. From the sensory evaluation of silage, S30 was excellent and exhibited an aromatic smell, a hazel color, and the loosest texture. However, from the results of the proportion of organic acids in mixed silage fermentation and further principal component analysis, the highest comprehensive score was in the S15 group. Considering the nutritional compositions and fermentation quality, the optimum ratio of mixed fermentation between S. guianensis and P. sinese in this experiment was 30:70.

To better understand the mechanism underlying water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC)-regulated silage fermentation, the bacterial community and fermentation quality of stylo (Stylosanthes guianensis) ensiled without (sterile distilled water) (CK) or with 10 g/kg sucrose (S), 10 g/kg glucose (G), and 10 g/kg molasses (M) were investigated. Each treatment was ensiled in three plastic bag silos for 30 days. The DM of stylo was 301.0 g/kg (fresh matter basis), while the contents of CP, WSC, NDF and ADF were 104.9, 12.3, 510.4 and 407.6 g/kg (dry matter basis), respectively. The bacterial community was characterized by using 16Sr DNA sequencing technology. The addition of WSC significantly altered both fermentation quality and the bacterial community of stylo silage. The additive treatment resulted in higher lactic acid (17.2 vs. 67.0 g/kgDM), lower pH (4.68 vs. 4.46), and lower acetic acid (37.0 vs. 28.9 g/kgDM) compared with the control. In addition, no propionic acid and butyric acid were detected in the additive treatment groups. These results indicated that WSC additives helped to produce greater quality stylo silage. Meanwhile, the Shannon index was higher, and the Simpson index was lower in the WSC additive-treated groups compared with the control, indicating that WSC improved microbial diversity. Furthermore, WSC treatments increased the abundance of acid-producing bacteria Megamonas and Bacteroides, decreased the abundance of Weissella, and inhibited the growth of the undesirable Enterobacter. Our results confirmed that sucrose, glucose and molasses have similar beneficial effects on both bacterial community and silage fermentation of stylo. Molasses was recommended to be used in stylo silage for economic benefit and resource utilization.
