Ensiling is a microbial-driven process used to preserve fresh forage in bio-refinery and
animal production. The biochemical changes that ensue during ensiling have aided the …

Additives have been available for enhancing silage preservation for decades. This review
covers research studies published since 2000 that have investigated the efficacy of silage …

An overview was made of dry matter (DM) and quality losses that occur during the ensiling
process from the field through the feeding phase. The aim was to review the relevant …

To reveal the mechanism of the survival and adaption of inoculated Lactobacillus plantarum
during ensiling. Alfalfa was ensiled directly (A1), after γ-ray irradiation (A0), and after …

Ensiled forage, particularly corn silage, is an important component of dairy cow diets
worldwide. Forages can be contaminated with several mycotoxins in the field pre-harvest …

The silage quality of forage soybean (FS) rich in protein with crop corn (CN) or sorghum
(SG) rich in water soluble carbohydrate was investigated, and microbial community after …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) comprise a widespread bacterial group, inhabiting the niches of
fermented vegetables and capable of producing beneficial organic acids. In the present …

Feeding environment and feed accessibility influence the dairy cow's response to the ration
and forage composition. Fiber content, physical form, and fermentability influence feeding …

Infectious diseases caused by bacteria that can be transmitted via food, livestock and
humans are always a concern to the public, as majority of them may cause severe illnesses …

The forage lignocellulosic complex is one of the greatest limitations to utilization of the
nutrients and energy in fiber. Consequently, several technologies have been developed to …
