Different dry matter contents on the fermentation and preservation of wilted ryegrass silage with or without microbial inoculants
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of two different dry matter contents at ensiling on the chemical composition, fermentation products, microbial profile, and aerobic stability (AS) of wilted ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) silages, with or without microbial inoculants. The ryegrass was wilted in the field until it reached 32 or 45% DM. In addition to DM contents, the effect of adding or not adding microbial inoculants to the forage was evaluated, resulting in the following [...]
