Abstract

Process for ensiling green fodder using bacterial preparations of lactic acid-producing bacteria, in which Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 3676 and/or Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 3677 is used.

Description

The invention relates to a process for acidifying green fodder by using bacterial preparations of lactic acid-producing bacteria.
Silage making from green fodder has enormous economic 5 importance, and various processes and additives have been proposed for accelerating the ferment at ion of green fodder batches or for improving silage making. These include the addition of lactic acid-producing bacteria, because the fermentation of lactic acid is an essential process in 10 silage making from green fodder.
At the end of fermentation, a good silage should contain about 2 to 3% lactic acid by weight. The bacteria added should be able to ferment all or as much as possible of the sugar contained in the green fodder. But this aim has not 15 been adequately achieved by the known bacteria which have previously been added to silage (cf 0E~A 262 040).
The problem which the present invention seeks to solve., therefore, is to provide bacterial preparations or bacteria which yield improved silage, or which in particular effect 20 a stronger acidification in a quicker time, while substantially avoiding a butyric acid fermentation. - 3 - The invention accordingly provides a process for the acidification of green fodder using bacterial preparations of lactic acid-producing bacteria, which is characterized by the use of Lactobacillus plantarum DSH 3676 and/or 5 Lactobacillus plantarum DSH 3677.
It has surprisingly been found that the two microorganisms DSH 3676 and DSH 3677, when used together, have a synergistic action. It is therefore preferred to use a mixture of 10 to 90% Lactobacillus plantarum DSH 3675 and 10 90 to 10% Lactobacillus plantarum DSN 3677, referred to the number of cells present. A mixture of 30 to 70% DSM 3676 and 70 to 30% DSM 3677, especially 40 to 60% DSM 3676 and 60% to 40% DSM 35/7, is particularly preferred.
The invention relates also to the use of Lactobacillus 15 plantarum DSM 3676 and/or Lactobacillus plantarum DSH 3677 for the ensiling of green fodder.
The two microorganisms mentioned above, used in accordance with the invention, have not been described heretofore.
One of these microorganisms was originally labelled by the 20 applicant with the designation B5 and deposited on 12 March 1986 in the German collection of microorganisms, Grisebachstr 8, D-3400 Goettingen, and received the deposit number DSH 3676. (Deposit according to the Budapest Treaty on the international recognition of deposits of micro-25 organisms for the purposes of patent procedures).
The second microorganism was originally labelled by the applicant with the designation W2 and likewise deposited on , 12 March 1986 at the same depository. It was accorded the deposit number DSH 3677. . 30 Both microorganisms were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, subspecies arabinosus. They exhibit the following properties: . 4 - 5 10 15 20 25 no gas formation DL - lactic acid no ammonia from arginine optimum temperature c 35' no growth at 45°C growth at 15°C cell wall component: diami nopimo1inic acid sugar fermentation g1ucose mann i to 1 g1ycer i n arab i nose sucrose 1actose mel1ibiose dextrin starch esculin (? illegible) maltose melicitose xylose ribose t r i h a 1 o s e raffinose sorbitol salicinose rhamnose 30 pos i t ive pos i t i ve negative pos i t ive pos i t ive pos i t i ve pos i t ive positive (in the case of W2) (weaker in the case of B5) neg ati ve pos it ive positive pos it ive negat ive positive pos it ive positive pos i t i ve pos i t i ve positive (in the case of W2) (negative in the case of B5) D i fferences: W2 forms mucus B5 forms no mucus - 5 - Acetate tolerance: 1.5% for W2 0.5% for B5 Morphology: 5 MZ = single rods 85 = short rods in chains Acidification in HRS pH 3.81 for B5 pH 3.79 for W2 10 Metabolism determined for B5: 2 mol lactate are formed from one mol glucose,, 1 mol lactate plus 0.65 mol acetate and traces of ethanol are formed from 1 mol dripose.
The microorganisms can be cultivated in conventional manner. Suitable culture conditions in HRS medium: 15 pH before sterilization: 6.9 sterilization 20 minutes at 121°C pH after sterilization: 6.6 behaviour towards oxygen: microaeroph i1ic (1) 20 On preservative agar with refrigerator storage.
Incubation temperature: 25 to 32°C Duration of incubation: 24 hours Sub-cultivation interval: about 3 months.
Suitable storage conditions: 25 a) master culture in preservative agar (conventional for Lactobacilli). After initial growth, storage in y refrigerator. b) Freeze-dried culture has almost unlimited storage life at -20°C. 30 Conditions for viability testing: Poured plate or master culture in HRS-media. - 6 - The new microorganisms are characterized by special capabilities in the intensity and speed of fermentation of sugars, such as are present in green fodder, at normal silage temperatures. 5 The microorganisms were isolated from green fodder silage in the early phase of fermentation.
The following tables describe the results achieved during acidification of grass or lucerne using the microorganisms according to the invention, and silage media of the present 10 state of the art. The lower the pH value, the stronger is the acidification achieved, and the better are the results for the s i1 age.
The following abbreviations are used in the tables: TS: dry substance 15 Kofa-Lac (registered trade mark): commercial state-of-the- art preparation Kofa-Plus: commercial state-of-the-art preparation based on chemicals 5 6 The numbers 10 or 10 represent the numbers of cells 20 per 1 ml or 1 g of the fresh batch (inoculation strength). Unster: unsterile Biomax (registered trade mark): commercial state-of-the- art preparation 25 The figures given in the tables are the respective pH values.

If necessary a substance having an alkaline reaction can be added to the nutrient medium during cultivation, in order to prevent the pH value from dropping too low. Examples of such alkaline substances are potassium hydroxide solut ion, sodium hydroxide solution, soda solution. The separation of the cells can be carried out in conventional manner. For example the cells can be separated in a centrifuge. A protective substance, for example a protective colloid, eg powdered milk can then be added to them. Other protective substances can also be used, for example lactose^ ascorbic acid.
The cells can then be freeze-dried. A stable preparation is obtained, which contains the active bacteria and can be stored for a long time without losing its activity.
The preparation can be added to the silage mix in known ' manner by hand, or by the use of metering devices, powder sprays and the like.
US-A-4 528 199 and AT-A-262 040 describe use of Lactobacillus plantarum preparations for ensiling green rodder. As compared with the preparations described therein, the bacteria used according to the invention have unexpectedly improved properties with regard to the speed of ensiling. -12-
