Ensiling whole-crop wheat and corn in large containers with Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus buchneri.
Open accessAbstract
The effect of applying Lactobacillus buchneri, alone or in combination with Lactobacillus plantarum, at ensiling, on the aerobic stability of wheat and corn silages was studied in 50-l plastic containers. Treatments comprised control (no additives), L. plantarum, L. buchneri and a combination of L. plantarum+L. buchneri. After 3 months of storage, the wheat silages treated with L. buchneri had higher acetic acid contents than the control or L. plantarum-treated silages, and were free of mold, whereas the top layers of the control or L. plantarum-treated silages were moldy. In an aerobic stability test the L. buchneri-treated silages were stable, whereas those treated with L. plantarum deteriorated. In the corn silages the effects of L. buchneri were not as clear and the top layer was moldy in all silages. However, L. buchneri also improved the aerobic stability of the corn silage, as indicated by lower yeast numbers, less CO(2) production and stable pH. It is concluded that L. buchneri has a potential as a silage additive that protects the silage upon aerobic exposure. The 50-l plastic containers can serve as an appropriate model to test silage additives before conducting full-scale farm experiments.

The effect of inoculation of L. plantarum and L. buchneri on forage fermentation quality in this study was similar to previous research.
“This study showed a similar effect of inoculation of L. plantarum and L. buchneri on forage fermentation quality to previous research (Ranjit and Kung, 2000; Weinberg et al., 2002).”
From Modulation of Metabolome and Bacterial Community in Whole Crop Corn Silage by Inoculating Homofermentative Lactobacillus plantarum and Heterofermentative Lactobacillus buchneri (2019) · cites this paper as Weinberg et al., 2002
The heterofermentative LAB Lactobacillus buchneri inhibits yeast and mold growth by producing high concentrations of acetic acid.
“The heterofermentative LAB Lactobacillus buchneri was shown to inhibit yeast and mold growth by producing high concentrations of acetic acid12–14.”
Over the past two decades, studies of L. buchneri have mainly focused on its fermentative metabolites acetic acid and 1,2-propanediol, which increase the stability of silage against deterioration by yeasts and molds when exposed to air.
“Over the past two decades, studies of the heterofermenter L. buchneri have mainly focused on its fermentative metabolites acetic acid and 1,2-propanediol, which increase the stability of silage against deterioration by yeasts and molds when exposed to air12–18.”
Prior studies also found increases in lactate concentration of corn silage inoculated with L. buchneri and L. plantarum and increases in acetic acid concentration of corn silage inoculated with L. buchneri alone or combined with L. plantarum.
“In agreement, Weinberg et al. (2002), Filya (2003), and Hu et al. (2009) also found increases in the lactate concentration of corn silage inoculated with L. buchneri and L. plantarum and increases in the acetic acid concentration of corn silage inoculated with L. buchneri alone or combined with L. plantarum.”
From Effects of feeding corn silage inoculated with microbial additives on the ruminal fermentation, microbial protein yield, and growth performance of lambs1 (2014) · cites this paper as Weinberg et al., 2002
Weinberg et al. (2002) and Filya (2003a) found that combining L. buchneri and L. plantarum improved the aerobic stability of corn silages.
“In contrast, Weinberg et al. (2002) and Filya (2003a) found that the combination of L. buchneri and L. plan-tarum improved the aerobic stability of corn silages.”
From The effect of Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 or Lactobacillus plantarum MTD-1 on the fermentation and aerobic stability of corn silages ensiled at two dry matter contents (2009) · cites this paper as Weinberg et al., 2002
Inoculants containing L. buchneri have improved aerobic stability in different silages.
“Inoculants containing L. buchneri have improved the aerobic stability of different silages (Driehuis et al., 2001;Weinberg et al., 2002;Kleinschmit et al., 2005).”

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.
