Description
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the inoculation with Lactobacillus casei subsp. rhamnosus (L.c.r) at ensiling would improve the fermentation and affect the flora of lactic acid bacteria of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L) and timothy (Phleum pratense L) silages. The fermentation quality of orchardgrass and timothy silages were improved by the addition of L.c.r and Lactobacillus casei subsp. casei (L.c.c) except orchardgrass silage stored at 15°C. In orchardgrass and timothy silages, the species of lactic acid bacteria in the control silages was different than the inoculated silages. At 15°C and 35°C, L.c.r was dominant in timothy silage with the addition of L.c.r-inoculant. The L.c.r-inoculant was deemed to have the same great potential with the L.c.c-inoculant.
