The Role of Microbes in Ensiling

Microorganisms
Ensiling 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 ...

Physicochemical properties, fermentative profile, microbiological quality, and pathogen contamination of baled silage during long-term storage. [PDF]

J Sci Food Agric
Abstract BACKGROUND Baled silage is expanding in Mediterranean regions due to climate change and demand for high‐quality forage; therefore, evaluating the effects of long‐term storage on microbiological and fermentative quality is essential. RESULTS In this study, 115 baled silages were sampled from different farms at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 270 days ...

Effects of Rosemary, Citronella, and Tea Tree Essential Oils on Fermentation Characteristics and Aerobic Stability of Sorghum Silage. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Rosemary, citronella, and tea tree essential oils were evaluated as natural additives for sorghum silage at four inclusion levels (0, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg kg−1 of fresh forage). Rosemary essential oil improved fermentation by increasing crude protein while reducing ammonia nitrogen and butyric acid concentrations.
