ABSTRACT
Two forages, maize (Zea mays) and lucerne (Medicago sativa),
having opposite fermentability coefficient, were ensiled in big bales for 120 days
without and with application of a dual purpose bacterial inoculant containing
Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus buchneri at 1.5 × 105 cfu/g of fresh forage.
The experiments were performed using the random sampling method, where
each big bale was an experimental unit. The combination of each raw material
and the inoculant was replicated ten times. Inoculated maize and lucerne
silages had greater level of lactic acid (P < 0.01) and acetic acid (P < 0.01) as
well as reduced pH value (P < 0.01) than not inoculated ones. Application of
bacterial inoculant decreased yeast (P < 0.01) and mould (P < 0.01) counts and
increased lactic acid bacteria count (P < 0.01). Inoculant had a positive effect
on aerobic stability by delaying aerobic deterioration time. The inoculation of
maize and lucerne was effective at improving the fermentation aerobic stability
and decreasing yeast and mould growth.
