The effect of silage additives on ensiling characteristics and nutritive value of Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) silages was studied. Napier grass silages were made with no additive, fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLB), molasses or cassava meal. The ensiling characteristics were determined by ensiling Napier grass silages in airtight plastic pouches for 2, 4, 7, 14, 21 and 45 d. The effect of Napier grass silages treated with these additives on voluntary feed intake, digestibility, rumen fermentation and microbial rumen fermentation was determined in 4 fistulated cows using $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. The pH value of the treated silages rapidly decreased, and reached to the lowest value within 7 d of the start of fermentation, as compared to the control. Lactic acid content of silages treated with FJLB was stable at 14 d of fermentation and constant until 45 d of ensiling. At 45 d of ensiling, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of silage treated with cassava meal were significantly lower (p<0.05) than the others. In the feeding trial, the intake of silage increased (p<0.05) in the cow fed with the treated silage. Among the treatments, dry matter intake was the lowest in the silage treated with cassava meal. The organic matter, crude protein and NDF digestibility of the silage treated with molasses was higher than the silage without additive and the silage treated with FJLB. The rumen parameters: ruminal pH, ammonia-nitrogen ($NH_3$-N), volatile fatty acid (VFA), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and bacterial populations were not significantly different among the treatments. In conclusion, these studies confirmed that the applying of molasses improved fermentative quality, feed intake and digestibility of Napier grass.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of harvesting date and additives on the quality of fall sown oat(Avena sativa L.) silage at the department of animal resources science, college of life resources science, Woosuk University, Wanju &om August, 1997 to March, 1998. The experiment was arranged in a split plot design with three replications. The main plots consisted of the harvesting date such as 15 Oct., 23 Oct. and 2 Nov. and different additives as subplots(control, wheat bran, formic acid, lactic acid bacteria, and wilting). The results otained are summarized as follow : The fiesh and dry matter yield of oat were increased by harvesting date delayed, then fiesh and dry matter yield at 2 Nov. were highest as 36,733 and 7,29Okg/ha, respectively. The dry matter content of oat silage was increased significantly by harvesting date delayed(P< 0.05), and DM content of wheat bran and wilting treatment was high at every harvest date. The DM loss was lower in LAB, formic acid and wheat bran treatment, but on significant difference was found among harvesting date(P< 0.05). Average pH of silage harvested at 23 Oct. was lowest as 4.06, and the quality(CP, NDF, ADF, and IVMDM) of oat silage was decreased by harvesting date delayed. The content of acetic acid was no difference among harvesting date, but butyric acid was decreased and lactic acid was increased at 23 Oct. harvest. The result of this study indicate that oat harvested at booting-heading stage of maturity with wilting wheat bran, and LAB could be recommended as producing high quality of oat silage.

전국에서 채취한 사일리지 및 우분 시료로부터 사일리지 첨가제로 사용하기 위한 유산균을 순수 분리하고 그 특성을 조사하였다. MRS 배지에서 성장 속도를 기반으로 16개의 유산균 균주를 순수 분리하였으며 이들은 16S rRNA, RNA polymerase alpha subunit, 60-kDa heat shock protein, phenylalanyl-tRNA synthase alpha subunit 유전자 염기서열에 기반하여 Lactobacillus, Enterococcus, Weissella 속으로 동정되었다. 16균주 중 L. plantarum과 유전적으로 높은 유사도를 보인 균주들은 MRS 배지와 쌀보리 추출배지에서 가장 빠른 성장 및 pH 저하를 나타냈으며 이용 가능한 당 종류 및 생장 가능한 pH, 온도, 염분범위가 상대적으로 넓었다. 또한 이 균주들은 PCR 검사 결과 바이오제닉 아민 생성을 위한 유전자가 없었으며 그 MRS 배지 배양액은 사일리지 부패균에 대한 저해 효과가 상대적으로 큰 것으로 나타나 이 균주들이 우수한 사일리지 첨가제로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 분리된 모든 유산균들의 쌀보리 추출배지 배양액은 사일리지 부패균의 성장에 큰 영향을 미치지 않거나 오히려 촉진시켰으며 선발된 유산균들을 사일리지 제조에 사용하기 위하여 그 원인 구명과 대책마련이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

벼 사일리지는 일반적으로 높은 pH와 많은 양의 butyric acid로 인하여 발효 품질이 좋지 못하기 때문에 발효품질 향상을 위해서 첨가제 처리가 요구된다. 하지만, 아직까지 국내에선 첨가제를 첨가하여 벼 사일리지의 발효품질에 대해서 검토된 바 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 생육시기별로 수확된 사료용 벼에 유산균 및 개미산의 첨가수준을 달리하여 사료성분과 발효품질의 변화를 조사하여 양질의 벼 사일리지를 조제를 위한 적정 첨가수준을 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 본 시험은 강원도 춘천시 신북읍 유포리에 위치한 기존 논에서 일품벼mutant(만생종)를 최초 8월 17일부터 10일 간격으로 6회(8월 17일; 수잉기, 8월 27일: 유숙기, 9월 7일; 호숙기, 9월 17일; 황숙기, 9월 27일; 고숙기, 및 10월 7일: 완숙기) 수확하여 수확시기별로 유산균 및 개미산을 각각 원료무게의 0.05, 0.1 및 0.2％ 와 0.2, 0.3 및 0.4％를 첨가하였다. 건물함량, 조단백질, 섬유소 및 TDN 함량은 모든 수확시기에서 첨가제 처리수준에 따른 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다. 유산균 및 개미산 처리가 모든 수확시기에서 무처리구에 비해서 낮은 pH를 나타냈으며, 각 첨가제 공히 첨가수준이 높아짐에 따라 pH가 낮아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 유산 함량은 각 수확시기 모두에서 유산균 및 개미산 처리구가 무처리구에 비해서 유의적으로 높았으며(P< 0.05), 유산균 처리구에서 더 많은 유산이 생성 되었다. 낙산 함량은 모든 수확시기에서 무 첨가구보다 첨가제 처리구에서 공히 낮았고 (P< 0.05), 첨가제 처리수준이 높아짐에 따라 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 암모니아태 질소 함량은 모든 수확시기에서 첨가제 처리구가 무첨가구에 비해서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났으나(P< 0.05), 황숙기 이후에서 첨가수준에 따른 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았다(P<0.05). 본 연구에서 발효품질은 첨가제 첨가수준이 높아짐에 따라 향상되는 경향을 보였지만, 낮은 처리수준에서도 양질의 사일리지 조제가 가능하였다. 따라서 양질의 벼 사일리지 조제를 위한 유산균과 개미산의 첨가수준은 각각 0.5∼0.1％와 0.2∼0.3％가 적정 수준인 것으로 사료된다.

The effects of addition of celulases (A cremonium cellulolyticus and Trichoderma viride, CE), a commercial inoculum containing lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus casei, LAB), fermented green juice (macerated napier grass with water was incubated anaerobically with 2% glucose for 1 day, FGJ) and glucose (G), and regional difference of ensiling on napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) silage were studied by using 900 ml laboratory glass bottle silos under 30 and $40^{\circ}C$ storage conditions in 1995 and 1996. Experiment 1 was carried out to compare the addition of CE, LAB, FGJ and the combinations. Silages were stored for 45 days after ensiling. Experiment 2 studied the effects of applications of CE, LAB, FGJ and G. Experiment 3 was carried out using the similar additives as experiment 2 except for LAB. Silages were stored for 60 days in the experiments 2 and 3. Experiments 1 and 2 were done in Nagoya, and experiment 3 in Okinawa. Sugar addition through CE or G improved the fermentation quality in all the experiments, which resulted in a greater decrease in the pH value and an increased level of lactic acid, while butyric acid contents increased under $30^{\circ}C$ storage condition in CE addition. LAB and FGJ additions hardly affected the silage fermentation quality without additional fermentable carbohydrate. But the combination of LAB, FGJ and glucidic addition (CE and G) improved the fermentation quality. The effect of the regional difference of ensiling between temperate (Nagoya; $35^{\circ}$ N) and subtropical (Okinawa; $26.5^{\circ}$ N) zones on silage fermentation quality was not shown in the present study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of wilting and additives on the fermentation quality, structural and non-structural carbohydrate composition of mulberry silages. Methods: The selected lactic acid bacteria strains Lactobacillus plantarum 'LC279063' (L1), commercial inoculant Gaofuji (GF), and Trichoderma viride cellulase (CE) were used as additives for silage preparation. Silage treatments were designed as control (CK), L1, GF, or CE under three wilting rates, that is wilting for 0, 2, or 4 hours (h). After ensiling for 30 days, the silages were analyzed for the chemical and fermentation characteristics. Results: The results showed that wilting had superior effects on increasing the non-structural carbohydrate concentration and degrading the structural carbohydrate. After ensiling for 30 days, L1 generally had a higher fermentation quality than other treatments, indicated by the lower pH value, acetic acid, propionic acid and ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) content, and the higher lactic acid, water soluble carbohydrate, glucose, galactose, sucrose, and cellobiose concentration (p<0.05) at any wilting rate. Wilting could increase the ratio of lactic acid/acetic acid and decrease the content of NH₃-N. Conclusion: The results confirmed that wilting degraded the structural carbohydrate and increased the non-structural carbohydrate; and L1 exhibited better properties in improving fermentation quality and maintaining a high non-structural carbohydrates composition compared with the other treatments.

Objective: Effects of newly isolated Lactobacillus plantarum on the fermentation and chemical composition of fresh rice straw silage was evaluated in this study. Methods: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from good crop silage were screened by growing them in MRS broth and a minimal medium with low carbohydrate content. Selected LAB (LAB 1821) were Gram-positive, rods, catalase negative, and were identified to be Lactobacillus plantarum based on their biochemical characteristics and a 16S rRNA analysis. Fresh rice straw was ensiled with two isolated LAB (1821 and 1841), two commercial inoculants (HM/F and P1132) and no additive as a control. Results: After 2 months of storage at ambient temperature, rice straw silages treated with additives were well-preserved, the pH values and butyric and acetic acid contents were lower, and the lactic acid content and lactic/acetic acid ratio were higher than those in the control (p<0.05). Acidity (pH) was lowest, and lactic acid highest, in 1821-treated silage (p<0.05). The $NH_3-N$ content decreased significantly in inoculant-treated silage (p<0.05) and the $NH_3-N$ content in 1821-treated silage was lowest among the treatments. The dry matter (DM) content of the control silage was lower than that of fresh rice straw (p<0.05), while that of the 1841- and p1174-inoculant-treated silages was significantly higher than that of HM/F-treated silage. Microbial additives did not have any significant (p>0.05) effect on acid detergent fiber or neutral detergent fiber contents. Crude protein (CP) content and in vitro DM digestibility (IVDMD) increased after inoculation of LAB 1821 (p<0.05). Conclusion: LAB 1821 increased the CP, IVDMD, lactic acid content and ratio of lactic acid to acetic acid in rice straw silage and decreased the pH, acetic acid, $NH_3-N$, and butyric acid contents. Therefore, adding LAB 1821 improved the fermentation quality and feed value of rice straw silage.

Objective: To effectively use corn stover resources as animal feed, we explored the chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of corn stover during field exposure and the fermentation characteristics of silage prepared with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cellulase. Methods: Corn ears including the cobs and shucks were harvested at the ripe stage. The corn stover was exposed in the field under natural weather conditions. Silages were prepared after 0, 2, 4, 7, 15, 30, and 60 d of exposure. Corn stover was chopped into approximately 1 to 2 cm lengths and then packed into 5 liter plastic silos. The ensiling density was $550.1{\pm}20.0g/L$ of fresh matter, and the silos were kept at room temperature ($10^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$). Silage treatments were designed as follows: without additives (control), with LAB, with cellulase, and with LAB+ cellulase. After 45 d of fermentation, the silos were opened for chemical composition, fermentation quality and in vitro digestion analyses. Results: After harvest, corn stover contained 78.19% moisture, 9.01% crude protein (CP) and 64.54% neutral detergent fiber (NDF) on a dry matter (DM) basis. During field exposure, the DM, NDF, and acid detergent fiber (ADF) contents of corn stover increased, whereas the CP and water-soluble carbohydrate contents and in vitro digestibility of the DM and CP decreased (p<0.05). Compared to the control silage, cellulase-treated silage had lower (p<0.05) NDF and ADF contents. The pH values were lower in silage treated with LAB, cellulase, or LAB+cellulase, and lactic acid contents were higher (p<0.05) than those of the control. Silage treated with cellulase or LAB+cellulase improved (p<0.05) the in vitro DM digestibility (IVDMD) compared to that of the control or LAB-treated silage. Conclusion: Corn stover silage should be prepared using fresh materials since stover nutrients are lost during field exposure, and LAB and cellulase can improve silage fermentation and IVDMD.
