Description

Oxygen exposure changes microbial and chemical profiles of silages after silo opening. Yeast and fungi are the main active microorganisms responsible by consumption of nutrients and fermentative residual products, which increases temperature in the ensilaged mass. The Lactobacillus buchneri (L. buchneri) has been considered an aerobic stability controller. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of L. buchneri in ensilage process of high moisture maize.
