“…Castro Neto et al (2008) evaluated the inoculation of sugarcane silages with Lactobacillus plantarum (Biomax 5) and observed that there were no effects on DM and soluble carbohydrates contents, which partially concurs with the present results. In the study of Schneider et al (1995), the inoculation of wet brewer grains silages with Lactobacillus plantarum and Streptococcus faecium did not have effects on DM, CP, NDF or ADF contents, but decreased soluble carbohydrates concentrations, which also partially agrees with the present findings. When Lactobacillus buchneri was inoculated in corn silage, it diminished soluble carbohydrates content, but it did not affect CP, NDF and ADF contents, whereas Lactobacillus plantarum (strains 30115, 1 × 10 6 cfu/g) decreased NDF and ADF contents only (Ranjit & Kung Jr., 2000).…”

-The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition, fermentation patterns and aerobic stability of sugarcane silages with addition of amino acid production (monosodium glutamate) by-product (APB) and microbial inoculants. Mature sugarcane was chopped and ensiled in laboratory silos (n = 4/treatment) without additives and Mercosil Maís 11C33 ® increased the time elapsed to reach maximum temperature. Monosodium glutamate production by-product does not alter fermentation patterns or aerobic stability of sugarcane silages, whereas homofermentative bacteria can provide silages of good quality.

“…All silage treatments had a pH below 4 by day 21 of ensiling. These results are consistent with those reported in several studies in which WDGS were ensiled with forages (Schneider et al, 1995;Garcia & Kalscheur 2007;Anderson et al, 2009). A high rate of fermentation of silage material is desirable as indicated by a rapid decrease in pH ensuring a faster preservation of nutrients (McDonald et al, 1991).…”

Ensiling quality of maize as influenced by the addition of wet distillers grains with soluble

et al. 2016

Wet distillers grains with soluble (WDGS) were blended with whole maize plants on an as-fed basis at 0%, 20%, 30%, and 40% and ensiled in 3 L bottles to evaluate the silage fermentation characteristics and ensiling quality in a complete randomized design. Each treatment was ensiled in 15 mini-silos and three bottles were opened on days 7, 21, 42 and 120. Each treatment was sampled for chemical composition and silage fermentation parameters. There was a steady decrease in dry matter (DM) concentration of silage with increasing WDGS inclusion level over time. Initial pH (at day 0) decreased with increasing level of WDGS inclusion, with 40% WDGS inclusion recording the lowest pH (3.6) at day 120. Lactic acid concentration was slightly lower for WDGS-blended silages compared with the control. In contrast, the acetic acid concentration for WDGS-blended silage increased across all treatments, suggesting a possible diminished effect of clostridium bacteria in the silage owing to a reduced pH. The acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and IVDOM (in vitro digestible organic matter) did not differ at the time of ensiling among treatments. During post ensiling, ADF increased slightly over time for WDGS-blended treatments (at 120 days). The results from this study indicated that WDGS could be ensiled effectively with maize plants without compromising silage quality. ______________________________________________________________________________________

“…Lactic acid content was also lower in BG silage after 56 than after 14 d of storage. It has been shown that good preservation is difficult to obtain with SC ensiled alone (Niwa, 2001), and lactic acid can predominate in BG silage, especially with a short storage period (Schneider et al, 1995;Nishino et al, 2003a). A reduction in lactic acid content coupled with an increase in acetic acid content was shown in SC and BG silages, suggesting that L. plantarum or L. buchneri metabolism was activated.…”

Wet brewers grains and soybean curd residue were stored in laboratory-scale silos without (BG and SC silages, respectively) or with other ingredients as total mixed rations (BGT and SCT silages, respectively). Silages were opened after 14 and 56 d, and microbial counts, fermentation products, and aerobic stability were determined. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was carried out to examine bacterial communities, and several bacteria that appeared to be involved in fermentation were identified. Lactic acid content was greater in SCT than in BGT silage, but lower in SC than in BG silage. Ethanol content was greater in BG than in SC regardless of silage type. Aerobic deterioration occurred promptly in ensiling materials (nonensiled by-products and total mixed ration mixtures) and in silages stored alone; however, SCT and BGT silages resisted deterioration and no heating was found for more than 5.5 d regardless of storage period. Silages were stable even with high yeast populations at silo opening, whereas prolonged ensiling decreased yeast counts in the 2 total mixed ration silages. The denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis profiles appeared similar between SCT and BGT silages but not between SC and BG silages. Weissella spp. and Lactobacillus brevis were common in aerobically stable SCT and BGT silages, and Lactobacillus buchneri was detected only in BGT silage. Both L. brevis and L. buchneri were found in silage but not in ensiling materials. Several other lactic acid bacteria were also identified in SCT and BGT silages, but did not appear to be related to fermentation and aerobic stability.
