Effect of inoculation of whole plant corn forage with Pediococcus acidilactici and Lactobacillus xylosus on preservation of silage and heifer growth

Whole plant corn silage was ensiled in plastic silo bags, with or without addition of a corn silage inoculant containing Pediococcus acidilactici and Lactobacillus xylosus , to evaluate effects on end-products of silage fermentation, apparent total tract nutrient digestibility, and performance of Ho...

Description
Summary:Whole plant corn silage was ensiled in plastic silo bags, with or without addition of a corn silage inoculant containing Pediococcus acidilactici and Lactobacillus xylosus , to evaluate effects on end-products of silage fermentation, apparent total tract nutrient digestibility, and performance of Holstein heifers. Body weight gains and DM intakes were greater for heifers fed inoculated silage than for heifers fed control silage during the second 42 d of the growth trial, and efficiency of feed utilization was not different between treatments.
