The Bacterial Community Associated with the Amarillo Zamorano Maize (Zea mays) Landrace Silage Process

Abstract: Maize silage is used in the diet of dairy cows, with suitable results in milk yield. In this study, the composition and diversity of the bacterial communities of the silage process of Amarillo Zamorano (AZ) Mexican maize landrace with relation to the Antilope (A) commercial hybrid are described. From both types of maize, seeds were sown in experimental plots, plants harvested at the reproductive stage, chopped, and packed in laboratory micro-silos. Physicochemical parameters were evaluated, and DNA was extract… Show more

“…Notably, the relative abundance of bacteria favoring silage fermentation, such as Lactococcus , Lactobacillus , and Weissella , accounted for less than 1% in all our samples. Lactobacillales ( Lactobacillus , Lactococcus , and Weissella ) are the main heterofermenters in the silage process, inhibiting negative microorganisms and promoting fermentation through the production of metabolites such as organic acids, bacteriocins, and competition for nutrients [ 59 ]. Our results show that the alfalfa phyllosphere lacks beneficial bacteria favoring fermentation.…”

“…But unfortunately, the silage quality and the optimal proportion of the mixture still remain unknown. At the same time, the study of the silage bacterial community is also necessary since the epiphytic microbial species of different raw materials are different (Ramírez-Vega et al, 2020 ).…”
