Abstract
The effect of adding the inoculant blend of Enterococcus faecium (BIO 34, DSM 3530), Lactobacillus brevis (IFA 92, DSM 19456) and Lactobaccillus plantarum (IFA 96, DSM 19457), to medium-wilted legume-grass silage was evaluated. Two silages were prepared from a grass-legume sward treated with either inoculant or no additive (control). Herbage was wilted to a dry matter (DM) content of 320 g kg-¹ and mean crude protein and water soluble carbohydrate concentrations in DM at ensiling were 174 and 88 g kg-¹ respectively. Treatment resulted in significantly higher crude protein in DM (149.4 vs. 159 g kg-¹; P<0.05) and digestible protein (108.9 vs. 117.8 g kg-¹; P<0.01) concentrations. Inoculant treatment increased fermentation rate, resulting in a significant (P<0.05) pH drop and in a significant (P<0.05) increase of total fermentation acids concentration compared with the control. The inoculant produced higher (P<0.01) lactic acid content and numerically higher acetic acid content compared with that of the control. Butyric acid and ammonia N concentrations were significantly (P<0.01) decreased by application of inoculant blend. DM loss values were significantly (P<0.01) lower for treated grass-legume silages.
