Influence of Microbial Inoculants for Corn Silage on Fermentation Characteristics and Nutrient Composition in Vitro, and on Production Responses in Lactating Cows
<p>The effect of three commercial microbial inoculants for corn silage on fermentation and silage composition were evaluated in laboratory silos. Treatments were control and three microbiai inoculants: Nordica Corn Silage Inoculant, AgMaster Corn Silage Inoculant, and Pioneer Silage Inoculant. The …

Investigation of the Interactions Among Grass, Chlorophenols and Microbes
… (TCP) degradation by an unacclimated microbial inoculant and an acclimated microbial inoculant was investigated. The presence of an alternate organic carbon source reduced lag time for both the acclimated microbial inoculant and the inoculant that had not been previously exposed to chlorinated …

Fermentation characteristics and nutritional value of different proportions of alfalfa and wheat straw ensiled with and without different additives
… ensiled with and without molasses, microbial inoculant and molasses + microbial inoculant. In experiment 1, chopped alfalfa harvested at 1/10 bloom and chopped wheat straw were ensiled in the following proportions (DM basis): 0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, 100:0, 0:100 (urea-treated), with O and …
