Abstract
Studies were conducted on the effect of additives on microbial succession and silage fermentation of two alfalfa cuttings, each harvested at three maturities, and three whole-plant com hybrids. The alfalfas were treated with dextrose at 2% (DM basis), Biomate~inoculant (Lac- tobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus cerevisiae), a combination of dextrose and Biomate~. or left untreated (control). The com hybrids were treated with 1174~inoculant (L plantarum and Enterococcus faecium) or left untreated (control). Counts of the lactobacilli, pediococci, and leuconostocs group were higher for the alfalfa silages treated with Biomate~than for the control silage and the silage treated with dextrose only at d 1 of the ensiling period. Addition of 1174 inoculant to the com silages did not influence the counts of the group that includes lactobacilli, pediococci, and leuconostocs. The numbers of other
