Objective: To measure whether a microbial additive could effectively improve the fermentation quality of delayed-sealing (DS) silage, we studied the effects of inoculants of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cellulase enzyme on microbial populations, ensiling characteristics, and spoilage loss of DS silage of Napier grass in Africa.Methods: Quick-sealing (QS) and DS silages were prepared with and without LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum) inoculant, cellulase enzymes, and their combination. The QS material was directly chopped and packed into a bunker silo. The DS material was packed into the silo with a delay of 24 h from harvest.Results: In the QS silage, LAB was dominant in the microbial population and produced large amounts of lactic acid. When the silage was treated with LAB and cellulase, the fermentation quality was improved. In the DS silage, aerobic bacteria and yeasts were the dominant microbes and all the silages were of poor quality. The yeast and mold counts in the DS silage were high, and they increased rapidly during aerobic exposure. As a result, the DS silages spoiled faster than the QS silages upon aerobic exposure.Conclusion: DS results in poor silage fermentation and aerobic deterioration. The microbial additive improved QS silage fermentation but was not effective for DS silage.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh lama ensilase terhadap kualitas fraksi serat kasar silase limbah pucuk tebu (Saccharum officinarum) yang diinokulasi dengan bakteri asam laktat yang dipilih. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam dua Tahap. Tahap pertama adalah pengayakan dan seleksi bakteri asam laktat dari pucuk tebu dan tahap kedua adalah pembuatan silase pucuk tebu dengan bakteri asam laktat hasil penelitian tahap pertama. Penelitian dilakukan di laboratorium Nutrisi dan Makanan Ternak Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Sriwijaya, Palembang. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 4 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan : P1 (lama fermentasi 7 hari), P2 (lama fermentasi 14 hari), P3 (lama fermentasi 21 hari), dan P4 (lama fermentasi 28 hari). Parameter yang diamati adalah NDF, ADF, selulosa, lignin, pHsilase dan populasi bakteri asam laktat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, perlakuan yang memberikan pengaruh signifikan pada NDF (P1 66.90%, P2 70.79%, P3 70.83% and P4 69.26%) dan ADF (P1 62.78%, P2 63.41%, P3 63.58% and P4 66.94%, sedangkan untuk selulosa, lignin, dan pH silase adalah non signifikan. Disimpulkan bahwa inokulasi bakteri asam laktat terseleksi dapat meningkatkan kualitas fermentasi silase pucuk tebu dan waktu ensilase dapat dipercepat dari 21 hari menjadi 7 hari. kata kunci : lama ensilase, kualitas fraksi serat kasar, inokulasi, bakteri asam laktat. AbstractThe objective of this research was to know the effect of ensilage time on fiber fraction quality of sugarcane top (Saccharum officinarum) inoculated with selected lactic acid bacteria. This research was conducted in two stage. First stage was lactic acid bacteria isolated from sugarcane top and second sugarcane top ensilage with selected lacticacid bacteria. There were held on Animal feed and Nutritive Laboratory Faculty of Agriculture, Sriwijaya University. This research used Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments and 4 replications: P1 (7 days ensilage), P2 (14 days ensilage), P3 (21 days ensilage), P4 (28 days ensilage). Observed parameters were NDF, ADF,cellulose, lignin, pH silage and population lactic acid bacteria. The result showed that treatment gave significant effect on NDF (P1 66.90%, P2 70.79%, P3 70.83% and P4 69.26%) and ADF (P1 62.78%, P2 63.41%, P3 63.58% and P4 66.94%, however cellulose, lignin and pH silage were non significant. In conclution, selected lactic acidbacteria could improved silage fermentation quality of sugarcane top and ensilage time were improved from 21 days to 7 days. key Words: Ensilage time, fiber fraction quality, inoculant, lactic acid bactery

In this study, the microbiological quality of traditionally produced Bez Sucuk in Tokat and its vicinity was investigated. For this purpose, 30 Bez Sucuk samples obtained from butchers, producers of Bez Sucuk, were analyzed for total count of mesophilic aerobic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts-moulds, total coliform, fecal coliform, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Cl. perfringens. Also, the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp. were investigated in all samples. pH and water activity of the samples were determined. As the result of the analysis, the counts of the microbiological parameters investigated were found as follows: total mesophilic aerobic bacteria 3.5×106-4.23×109 CFU/g, lactic acid bacteria 5.55×105-2.45×109 CFU/g, yeasts and moulds 2.50×103-6.90×109 CFU/g, total coliform

This experiment was conducted to determine the ensiling characteristics and microbial changes of fodder ramie silage treated without additive (Control), or with molasses (M), lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and mixtures of lactic acid bacteria and molasses (LABM). Triplicate samples were randomly opened on days 0, 3, 7, 14, 28 and 60 of ensiling for sampling and the contents were processed for quality assessment and laboratory analysis. Compared with control silage, addition of M and LABM decreased pH and butyric acid while increasing lactic acid during ensiling (P < 0.05). For the LAB treatment, the pH value declined slowly at initial days then kept relatively stable at about 5.39 and the concentration of lactic acid increased for the first 7 days then maintained stable until day 60. The control silage showed a rise in pH and a significant decline in lactic acid concentration at later stage. Microbial changes had similar trend during ensiling for all the treatments where the lactic acid bacteria increased at initial days then showed a decline at later stage. Furthermore, LAB treatment had the highest (P<0.05) lactic acid bacteria population at almost all ensiling periods. It was concluded that both M and LABM treatment can improve the fermentation quality of fodder ramie silage to some extent, but the effects of adding lactic acid bacteria still need further research.
