Abstract

The effect of applying Lactobacillus buchneri (LB), alone or in combinations with L. plantarum (LP) and yeasts at ensiling, on the ensiling fermentation and aerobic stability of wheat and sorghum silages was studied under laboratory conditions. Treatments comprised LB, LP, yeasts, LB + yeasts, LP + yeasts, LB + LP and B-589 (a lactic acid bacterial strain isolated from wheat silage in Israel) alone. The treatments were also applied to sterilized aqueous extracts of wheat which were incubated at 30°C for 10 days. The pH of all treatments was below 4.0 already on day 4 of the experiment. Silages treated with LB had higher acetic acid concentrations than those treated with LP: 32–34 vs 16–18, and 28–34 vs 4–7 g kg−1 in the experiments with wheat and sorghum, respectively. Similar results were obtained in wheat extracts. In the aqueous phase, marked differences in pH decrease were noticed among the treatments: 4.4 in LB, 6.0 in the yeast, and 3.7 in LP and B-589 (from day 3 and onwards). In both crops LB resulted in aerobically stable silages when applied alone or with LP and yeasts, whereas LP resulted in unstable silages upon aerobic exposure; the stability of the LB-treated silages is attributed to the higher acetic acid concentrations. The isolated strain (B-589) did not exhibit any advantage with regard to aerobic stability.

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.
