Implication

Experimental study reveals enhanced aerobic stability and fungal suppression in inoculated maize silage, indicating improved forage preservation upon air exposure.

Key Points

To assess the effects of co-inoculating maize silage with Lentilactobacillus buchneri and Lentilactobacillus hilgardii on microbial community dynamics and stability during aerobic exposure.
Ensiled whole-plant corn in bag silos either untreated (control) or inoculated with L. buchneri NCIMB 40788 and L. hilgardii CNCM-I-4785.
Opened silos after 159 days of fermentation and conducted a 10-day aerobic stability assay, sampling at 24-hour intervals to assess pH, fermentation products, mycotoxins, and microbial populations.
Inoculated silage maintained stable pH and lactic acid concentrations throughout the 10-day aerobic exposure, characterized by elevated microbial alpha-diversity and persistent Lactobacillus populations.
Control silage exhibited rapid lactic acid loss, rising pH, blooms of lactate-assimilating yeasts (Pichia, Issatchenkia) and bacteria (Acetobacter, Paenibacillus), with Penicillium and the mycotoxin roquefortine C detected by day 8.
