Analysis reveals microbial and metabolite variations in eight tropical forage crops, suggesting traits influence fermentation quality.

Optimal fermentation outcomes varied among tropical forages, with sweet sorghum and giant Napier grass showing the highest lactic acid levels.
Over 15,800 metabolites were analyzed, identifying more than 3,000 significant differences linked to forage types and fermentation quality.
Microbial communities dominated by specific bacteria and fungi were correlated with respective silage quality across different crops.
A new framework was proposed explaining how forage traits influence microbial communities and metabolic outputs during silage fermentation.

Lai et al. (2025) studied this question.
