Extract

Yeasts are the first micro-organism that become active in the silage upon exposure to air, using the residual sugars and lactic acid to produce carbon dioxide. Maize silage is particularly prone to spoilage as maize silage tends to have a larger concentration of water soluble carbohydrates, which was considered to be a better substrate for micro-organisms than volatile fatty acids (Auerbach et al., 1998). The aim of this experiment was to measure the effect of inoculating maize silage with Maize-all GS (inoculant) and Sil-all Fireguard (inoculant and preservative) on aerobic stability.
