| Abstract | ||||
| Clover as green forage and maize, broken bean and wheat bran as concentrated forage and wheat straw as filling material were used in producing silage ra!ion. Silage mixture was Inoculateo with 2 ml of ! p < /em>.r.I()hl!tcill'J~ culture (LactobRcillu." cese! as aClivator bacteria grown on whey) to obtain Laclobacil/:.Js silage CIS firs experiment. Whereas, Ihe second experiment, silage was inoculated with 2 ml effective microorganisms culture (EM activator grown 011 5% molasses) to obtain EM silage. After incubation the pH values decreased to reach 4.1 and 4.0 in Lactobacillus and EM silages compared with that or the control silage. Volatile acids (butyric and acetic) were lower than lactic acid, which increaSed in all experimenfs during ensiling processes. Moreover, the silage chemical compositions before and after ensiling showed that total inverted sugar at the end was traces. SiI~e microorganisms counts were (1020 and 990 x 109 CFU g") and (410 and 320 x 10 CFU g") lor Lactoacillus and EM silage on basal media and SANM after four weeks, respectively. However, these results clearly indicate that the synthetic medium (SANM) had limited the microorganisms' colonies size and densities that helps in producing silage of 10WI acldlty and high quality silage during the fermentation processes. | ||||
