Ensiling of forages was recognized as a microbial-driven process as early as the late 1800s,
when it was associated with the production of “sweet” or “sour” silage. Classical …

This study investigated the effects of lactic acid bacteria on bacterial and fungal community
during the fermentation process and aerobic exposure phase of barley ensiled with …

Soil pH is an important predictor of bacterial community composition and diversity.
Examining the effects of pH on diversity, structure, interaction, and function of rhizosphere …

The first objective of this study was to examine effects of adding Escherichia coli O157: H7
with or without chemical or microbial additives on the bacterial diversity and composition of …

Microbial population dynamics associated with corn silage, with and without Lactobacillus
plantarum treatment, was studied. Whole crop corn was ensiled using laboratory silos and …

Background Describing the microbial populations present in small grain silage and
understanding their changes during ensiling is of interest for improving the nutrient value of …

The study investigated the effects of transplantation and reconstitution of indigenous and
exogenous epiphytic microbiota on the fermentation quality and microbial community of red …

The microbiota of pre-ensiled crop and silage were examined using denaturing gradient gel
electrophoresis (DGGE) and next-generation sequencing (NGS). Wilted Italian ryegrass (IR) …

Knowledge regarding bacterial dynamics during crop ensiling is important for understanding
of the fermentation process and may facilitate the production of nutritious and stable silage …

Inhibiting the growth of Escherichia coli O157: H7 (EC) in feeds may prevent the
transmission or cycling of the pathogen on farms. The first objective of this study was to …
