Co-inoculation with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens enhances the fermentation quality and in vitro ruminal digestibility of whole-plant millet silage
Researchers evaluated the effects of single and combined bacterial inoculants on the fermentation quality and nutritional degradability of whole-plant millet silage. Results show that co-inoculating Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens significantly improved fermentation efficiency, gas production, and in vitro digestibility. This multispecies approach offers an optimized, sustainable method for preparing climate-resilient forage.
Why it matters
Optimizing silage fermentation improves livestock nutrition and feed efficiency, which is critical for sustainable agricultural practices involving climate-resilient crops like millet.
