The Effect of Treating Whole-Plant Barley with Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 on Silage Fermentation, Aerobic Stability, and Nutritive Value for Dairy Cows
Open accessAbstract
Chopped barley forage was ensiled untreated or treated with several doses (1 x 10(5) to 1 x 10(6) cfu/g of fresh forage) of Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 in laboratory silos and untreated or treated (4 x 10(5) cfu/g) in a farm silo. Silage from the farm silos was fed to lactating cows. In the laboratory silo, the effects of inoculation on fermentation and aerobic stability were also compared to silage treated with a commercial inoculant and a buffered propionic acid additive. Inoculation with L. buchneri 40788 decreased the final concentrations of lactic acid but increased concentrations of acetic acid and ethanol in silage from laboratory and farm silos. Silages stored in laboratory silos did not heat after exposure to air for 7 d and were then mixed with alfalfa silage and a concentrate to form total mixed rations (TMR) that were further exposed to air. The TMR containing silages treated with L. buchneri 40788 or a buffered propionic-acid-based additive took longer to heat and spoil than the TMR containing untreated silage or silagetreated with the commercial inoculant. Silage stored in a farm silo and treated with L. buchneri 40788 had fewer yeasts and molds than did untreated silage. Aerobic stability was greater in treated silage alone and in a TMR containing treated silage. Dry matter intake (18.6 kg/d), milk production (25.7 kg/d), and milk composition did not differ between cows fed a TMR containinguntreated or treated silage. These findings show that L. buchneri can improve the aerobic stability of barley silage in laboratory and farm silos and that feeding treated silage had no negative effect on intake or performance.

TL;DR
Treating whole-plant barley silage with Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 increased acetic acid and ethanol, reduced lactic acid, improved aerobic stability in laboratory and farm silos, and had no negative effect on intake or milk production in lactating dairy cows. The highest laboratory dose was most effective for TMR stability, while farm-treated silage had fewer yeasts and longer stability than untreated.
Key findings
- In laboratory silos after 120 d, L. buchneri 40788 lowered lactic acid (control 3.53% vs 2.11–2.51% for LB1–LB3) and raised acetic acid (control 2.48% vs 4.06–4.98%) and ethanol (control 0.43% vs average 0.91% for treated); propionic acid was greater for LB2 (1.29%) and LB3 (1.44%) than control (0.28%).
- Laboratory silages did not heat after 7 d air exposure, but TMR containing L. buchneri-treated barley was more stable than TMR with untreated silage (95 h); BPA was 105 h and LB1/LB2 averaged 106 h, with the highest dose most effective.
- In the farm silo after 10 mo, treated barley silage had fewer yeasts (2.63 vs 4.89 log10 cfu/g) and greater aerobic stability (190 h vs 66 h) than untreated; TMR stability was also greater with treated silage.
- Lactation study: DMI (18.6 kg/d), milk production (25.7 kg/d), and milk composition did not differ between cows fed TMR containing untreated vs treated barley silage.
Methods
- Laboratory silo study: chopped whole-plant barley wilted to ~36% DM, ensiled in macro silos in triplicate with untreated, L. buchneri 40788 at 1 × 10^5, 5 × 10^5, or 1 × 10^6 cfu/g plus enzymes, a commercial inoculant, or a buffered propionic acid additive; stored 120 d at 20–27°C, then analyzed for fermentation, microbes, DM recovery, and aerobic stability alone and in TMR.
- Lactation study: barley harvested at early heading, wilted to ~40% DM, ensiled untreated or treated with L. buchneri 40788 at 4 × 10^5 cfu/g in a bag silo; after 10 mo, 20 Holstein cows (14 multiparous, 6 primiparous; average 25 kg milk/d, 184 ± 28 DIM) were used in a crossover design with two 4-wk periods, last 2 wk collection, fed TMR with 35% untreated or treated barley silage, 15% corn silage, 50% concentrate.
- Analyses: microbial data log10-transformed; chemical data on DM basis; ANOVA via SAS GLM, Tukey’s test, P < 0.05.
Limitations
- Stated: the lactation study was designed to evaluate potential negative effects of feeding L. buchneri-treated silage during moderate weather (22–28°C), not to show positive effects under severely hot weather and/or poor management.
- Stated: 1,2-propanediol was not measured, and some findings (e.g., propionic acid increases, lower starch/CP in LB2) were unexplained.
- Evident: the farm-scale silo comparison used one bag silo split into untreated and treated halves rather than replicated farm silos; laboratory silages did not heat after 7 d, so TMR stability was assessed using alfalfa silage with high yeast/mold counts (5.17 and 3.00 log10 cfu/g) that spoiled after 124 h.

“As in past studies, treatment with L. buchneri 40788 and enzymes had no effects on the ADF, NDF, CP, or starch content of silage (Ranjit and Kung, 2000;Kung and Ranjit, 2001).”
§ The Effect of Treating Whole-Plant Barley with Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 on Silage Fermentation, Aerobic Stability, and Nutritive Value for Dairy Cows 1 > DISCUSSION
What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites Ranjit and Kung, 2000 sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Silage Composition section (page not specified) reports no treatment effect on CP or ADF and no NDF difference for the L. buchneri treatments. This paper does not report starch content or test a treatment combining L. buchneri 40788 with enzymes, so it supports only part of the attributed claim. (LLM, conf=0.88)
- Partly supportedcites Kung and Ranjit, 2001 sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Results (page not provided) report that L. buchneri did not affect CP, and that the two higher application rates with enzymes did not affect fiber or starch content. But the lowest rate increased starch and reduced NDF, so the claim of no effects across treatments is too broad. (LLM, conf=0.90)

The Results and Discussion report increased propionic acid in barley silage treated with L. buchneri, supporting this paper’s citation for an increase in some silages. The Materials and Methods identify the organism only as L. buchneri, not strain 40788, so our copy does not verify the strain-specific attribution. The citing sentence assigns the ‘not all’ finding to a different citation. (LLM, conf=0.82)
- Supportedcites Ranjit and Kung, 2000 source
The citation to Ranjit and Kung (2000) supports the 'but not all silages' portion of the sentence. In the Discussion, the authors say they did not observe the increase in propionic acid reported elsewhere; Silage Composition likewise reports negligible propionate in the L. buchneri treatments. The statement that the reason is unclear is the citing authors’ framing, not a finding attributed to this source. (LLM, conf=0.94)

Lactobacillus buchneri inhibits the proliferation of yeasts in silage via the production of acetic acid.
“Lactobacillus buchneri has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of yeasts in silage via the production of acetic acid.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Higher concentrations of acetic acid inhibit yeasts.
“Thus, silage treated with L. buchneri 40788 often has a moderately high concentration of ethanol despite having lower numbers of yeasts, which are inhibited by the higher concentration of acetic acid.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
