The Role of Microbes in Ensiling. [PDF]
MicroorganismsEnsiling is the microbial processing of forage, based on the fermentation of plant sap that acidifies the silage to pH < 5. This acidity threshold prevents microbial activity that could otherwise produce inhibitory, toxic, malodorous or otherwise undesired metabolites.
