Abstract

The microbial and chemical changes, and characterization of the predominant acid-producing bacteria in the swine manure ensilage blended with corn meal at a ratio of 50:50 were studied, The fermentation was dominated by Lactobacilli, which multiplied rapidly for the first 24 hrs. The acid production during the fermentation process caused rapid pH drop to 4.5, and controlled the population of E. coli and other organisms in the feedlot waste.(중략)
