Track 1-11: Advances in Forage Conservation to Improve Quality
Characterization and Identification of Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Silage Prepared in Lao PDR
Description
Silage is now the most common preserved cattle feed in many countries and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play an important role during silage fermentation process. In order to establish an animal feed production system to cover the shortage of animal feed in the dry season of Lao PDR, silage fermentation technology is needed that has potential application in poor villages. Therefore, the characterization of LAB in various forage crops and their species identification requires further study. In the present study, the characterization of LAB species isolated from forage crops in Lao PDR was examined. In order to determine their taxonomic status, these strains were also studied by 16S rRNA sequence analysis.
