In this review the major nitrogenous components of herbage have been identified and the effects of both plant and microbial enzyme activity on these components during the ensilage process have been described. In particular, the specific effects of the lactic acid bacteria and clostridia on amino acid degradation and the end products of such microbial activity are summarised. The effect of formaldehyde in preventing proteolysis is also discussed.
