The effect of a propionic acid bacterial inoculant applied at ensiling on the aerobic stability of wheat and sorghum silages
Open accessAbstract
The effect of a new strain ofPropionibacterium shermanii (PAB), applied at ensiling, on the aerobic stability of wheat and sorghum silages was studied in several experiments under laboratory conditions. In the one experiment with wheat and in those with sorghum a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculant (Lactobacillus plantarum andPediococcus cerevisiae) was also included. After treatment, the chopped forages were ensiled in 1.5-L anaerobic jars which were sampled in triplicate on predetermined dates to follow fermentation dynamics. At the end of the experiments, the silages were subjected to an aerobic stability test. The PAB inoculant improved the aerobic stability only in one experiment with wheat, in which the decrease in pH was very slow; the final pH remained relatively high (4.5). The PAB-treated silages contained 19.5±2.0 g of propionic acid per kg of dry matter. In the experiments with sorghum, the control and PAB-inoculated silages were stable, whereas LAB-inoculated silages deteriorated. The results suggest that PAB can survive in and improve the aerobic stability of only slow-fermenting silages which are prone to aerobic deterioration.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
