Improved Quality of Corn Silage When Combining Cellulose-Decomposing Bacteria and Lactobacillus buchneri during Silage Fermentation

Figure 1

Effects of cellulose-decomposing bacteria and heterolactic lactic acid bacteria on CO₂ gas production in corn silages within 10 days after opening the fermentation bag. K, untreated corn silage with no inoculant applied; Y, heterolactic lactic acid bacteria; YX, heterolactic lactic acid bacteria and cellulose-decomposing bacteria; M, treatment; D, day; M × D, treatment × day; DM, dry matter. Columns with different letters are significantly different at the 5% level using Duncan’s test. P < 0.05.
