Effect of Complex Lactic Acid Bacteria on Silage Quality and In vitro Dry Matter Digestibility of Corn Straw

The study was carried out to evaluate the effect of complex lactic acid bacteria on the silage fermentation quality of corn straw and the silage in vitro dry matter digestibility. In the first experiment, the complex lactic acid bacteria inoculants was applied at 3.0x10(5) cfu g(-1) consisted of 1.0x10(5) cfu g Enterococcus faecalis TBT608 and 2.0x10(5) cfu g(-1) Lactobacillus plantram TBT717. Uninoculated silage served as control. After 150 days of storage, the treatment silage had significantly (p<0.05) lower pH values, butyric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, ammonia N concentration and had significantly (p
