This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on fermentation quality, mycotoxin concentrations, and microbial communities whole-crop corn silages infested with mycotoxigenic fungi. Cultured spores (106 cfu/mL) Aspergillus flavus Fusarium graminearum were sprayed (5 mL) forage 27 July 10 August 2018. On 21 2018, (FI; 3 plots) unsprayed (NFI; harvested at 1/2 kernel milk line stage, followed by chopping ensiling without inoculants (CON), or Lactobacillus...
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of citric acid residue (CAR) and lactic bacteria (LAB) on fermentation quality aerobic stability alfalfa silage. Alfalfa treated as follows: (1) control without additive (CON); (2) LAB (L); (3) 12 g/kg CAR (C); (4) + (CL) fermented for 3, 6, 9, 15, 30 45 days. The residual silages ensiled days were evaluated stability. results showed that addition with or inoculant decreased pH, acetic acid, ammonia nitrogen , neutral detergent fibre,...
Cellulase-producing Enterococcus species isolated from the rumen of Tibetan yak (Bos grunniens) were characterized, and their combined effects on silage quality various forages studied.The two strains with high cellulolytic potential identified as faecalis (EF85) E. faecium (EF83) by 16S rRNA sequencing. Both EF85 EF83 could grow well at 15-55°C, pH 3·0-6·0 in 3·0-6·5% NaCl. The cellulase secreted showed good stability temperatures 20 to 45°C 4·5 7·0. A commercial inoculant (CLP), a (CE)...
The interest of ensiling total mixed ration for ruminants re-emerged in the last decades. In many situations, ensiled (ETMR) has been a sustainable alternative to efficiently handle wet by-products ruminant diets. purpose this study was assess effect replacing common vetch with brewers' grains (WBG) at different proportions on fermentation quality, nutritive value, aerobic stability, vitro gas production kinetics and digestibility ETMR. Four ETMR formulations were designed according varied...
Abstract The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels citric acid residue (CAR) on fermentation quality and aerobic stability Napier grass. grass ensiled with no additives control (CON), 1.2% CAR (C1), 3.6% (C2) 6.0% (C3) a fresh weight basis in laboratory silos for 3, 6, 9, 15 45 days. After opening silos, silages were subjected analyzing chemical microbial compositions, residual days evaluated stability. Addition increased lactic acid/acetic acid, dry matter,...
The present study is aimed to reveal the variations in epiphytic microbial composition among six whole crop corn (WCC) varieties and their contributions on ensiling characteristics of WCC silage. Six (JS06, YS23, BS20, JS39, JS40 JS26) were ensiled for 90 days. All well fermented with low pH value (<4·0) high LA (73·6-124 g kg-1 DM, dry matter) concentration. Of varieties, had highest (124 DM) concentration, which was supported by relative abundance Lactobacillus. Pantoea most dominant...
Aims This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of sorbic acid (SA) as a silage additive and its effects on fermentation quality aerobic stability high dry matter (DM) silage. Methods Results High DM rice straw was ensiled with distilled water (C), 1 × 106 CFU per gram fresh weight (FW) Lactobacillus plantarum FW buchneri (LP+LB) or SA for 45 days subsequent test. After ensiling, LP+LB had highest lactic (LA) content lowest pH value, whereas water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) contents,...
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of adding citric acid residue (CAR) with or without lactic bacteria (LAB) Napier grass (Cenchrus purpureus; syn. Pennisetum purpureum) cv. Sumu No. 2 at ensiling on fermentation quality and aerobic stability resulting silage. Treatments included: Control (Napier forage additives); inoculated (Lactobacillus plantarum L. buchneri) 1 × 106 cfu/gfresh weight (FW) 36 g residue/kg FW a mixture CAR LAB (CL). Forty-five days after silages were...
To improve the utilization efficiency of total mixed ration (TMR) on Tibetan plateau, effects different additives fermentation quality and aerobic stability ensiled TMR prepared with local feed resources were studied. A 150 experimental silos in a completely randomized design to evaluate following treatments: (a) control; (b) Lactobacillus buchneri; (c) acetic acid; (d) propionic (e) 1,2-propanediol; (f) 1-propanol. After 90 days ensiling, opened for vitro parameters analysis, then subjected...
Abstract BackgroundWhile most insects rely on gut bacteria to digest cellulose and produce sugars or fatty acids that are then available the host, this has been disputed in Lepidopteran larvae due their simple morphology rapid digestive throughput. The European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), is a devastating pest feeds lignocellulose-rich tissues of maize plants. However, potential role ECB microbes degrading remains unexplored. Here, we investigate microbiota fed with...
Abstract This study was conducted to assess the effect of different additives on fermentation characteristics, in vitro digestibility and aerobic stability fermented total mixed ration (FTMR) prepared with local feed resources Tibet, China. Additives added FTMR were Lactobacillus buchneri (1 × 10 6 cfu/g fresh weight (FW)), acetic acid (0.3% FW), propionic (0.4% 1,2‐propanediol 1‐propanol (0.5% FW). opened after 90 days subjected a 14‐d test. The results showed that L. , increased ( P <...
