The effect of inoculants and cellulase on the fermentation and microbiological composition of grass silage: II Microbiological changes in the silages
Four experimental silages were made into bunker silos by adding lactic acid bacteria and cellulase enzyme. The control silages were made without any additives and with AIV II solution (80 % formic acid, 2% orthophosphoric acid). The microbial compositions of the experimental silages were studied in...
