Effects of inoculant application on fermentation quality and rumen digestibility of high moisture sorghum-sudangrass silage

This study estimated the effects of a new inoculant producing antifungal and esterase activity on quality of high moisture sorghum-sudangrass (SS) silage with two different hybrids (SX-17 and Speed-up). The SS hybrids were chopped, treated without an inoculant (CON) and with an inoculant containing...

Description
Summary:This study estimated the effects of a new inoculant producing antifungal and esterase activity on quality of high moisture sorghum-sudangrass (SS) silage with two different hybrids (SX-17 and Speed-up). The SS hybrids were chopped, treated without an inoculant (CON) and with an inoculant containing Lactobacillus plantarum R48-27 and Lactobacillus buchineri R4-26 at ratio 1:1 (INO), then ensiled into 20-L mini silo in quadruplicate for 60 days. After ensiling, silage was placed under aerobic condition for 8 days to estimate yeast and mold. The INO silages had higher (P
