  • Bacterial treatment for silage
    Patent number: 5747020
    Abstract: Silage is preserved by treatment with a small, but silage preserving effective amount of a seven strain inoculant, in which five of the strains are members of the Lactobacillus plantarum taxon and the remaining two strains are members of the Enterococcus faecium taxon. This seven strain inoculant is particularly effective in improving the aerobic stability as well as the rate and extent of digestibility of whole plant corn silage. It is also effective in improving animal milk and meat performance when animals are fed inoculated silage.
