Effects of a Lactobacillus buchneri inoculant on the fermentation profile,

microbial counts and aerobic stability of corn silage

 

Our technical director Silage, Dr. Andreas Milimonka

recently represented ADDCON as a part of Esseco Industrial at  

#Tropentag 2024, a leading conference on tropical and subtropical agricultural research, brought together over 1,000 participants, including researchers, exhibitors and policy makers. It served as a platform to discuss innovative solutions for sustainable resource management and rural development.

This study investigates the effect of a Lactobacillus buchneri inoculant on maize silage fermentation characteristics and aerobic stability. Conducted at the University of Lavras, Brazil, maize was treated with KOFASIL S1.2 (Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus buchneri) and stored in laboratory silos for 90 days. The results showed a lower yeast count, improved aerobic stability, reduced dry matter loss, and lower pH during the aerobic stability test and reduced CO2 emissions. The results indicate the potential of KOFASIL S1.2 to optimise silage preservation and sustainability in dairy production.
