Abstract
There is provided a method for treating silage which comprises adding to the silage a silage inoculant comprising a silage preserving effective amount of Lactobacillus hilgardii. The silage inoculant being effective to prevent or reduce aerobic spoilage.
Description
STABILITY OF SILAGE H‘IOCULANTS AND S FOR IMPROVE‘IG AEROBIC ITY OF SILAGE The present description relates to silage. More specifically to silage inoculants and method of use of silage inoculants for enhancing aerobic ity of silage.
Silage is fermented, high-moisture forage to be fed to ruminants, such as cud-chewing s like cattle and sheep. The silage is fermented and stored in a storage silo, a process called ensilage. Silage is most often made from grass or cereal crops, including ryegrass, a, fescue, corn ) or sorghum. Silage is made from the entire plant, or part of it. Silage can also be made from many other field crops, including sugar cane, and other names such as, for e oatlage for oats, haylage for alfalfa are sometimes used when this is done. Sometimes a mixture is used, such as oats and peas.
The production of silage and the associated crop husbandry have over recent years developed to an extent that a number of ent processes can be defined. These are: (i) the ensiling of young grass with particularly low dry matter, e. g. less than 25%; (ii) the ensiling of higher dry matter, more mature grasses, or the ensiling of high dry matter but young grass achieved by wilting, and (iii) the ensiling of whole maize including stover and cob, usually at a dry matter concentration of about 35%, and whole crop cereals, e. g. wheat, at 45-50% dry matter.
While these ses generally produce a good yield, they are not without their problems. Particularly in cases (ii) and (iii), one major problem occurs on a regular basis. This is the phenomenon known as aerobic spoilage. The process of aerobic spoilage occurs at opening of the silo, when the material is exposed to air. Itcan be divided into specific phases. First, there is an initial phase in which yeasts and sometimes acetic acid bacteria start to respire the preserving organic acids, raising the silage pH, and the temperature begins to rise. After an initial rise in pH, there is a secondary phase in which the ty of bacilli is apparent, and is associated with increasing temperature. A further phase includes activity of various rganisms including fungi.
In those silages which contain a substantial content of dry matter, i.e. over 30%, the problem of spoilage is particularly acute. Spoilage is seen to a greater or lesser extent once a silage clamp is opened and exposed to air.
Biological additives such as ial inoculants have been used widely to improve the silage process, primarily to increase the extent and rate of lactic acid production, and guard against aerobic spoilage. U.S. Patent No. 6,326,037 to Mann et al. es methods and compositions for improving this situation. In ular, there described is based at least in part on identifying the aerobic spoilage process as being closely related to heating in the clamp on exposure to the s of air. Subsequent examination of such silages showed high concentration of thermophilic Gram-positive bacteria, including bacilli, yeasts and molds. This apparently demonstrates the onset of a ary fermentation, akin to that of composting (the primary fermentation being the ensiling process). In this fermentation stage, yeast and moulds predominate. It appears that, in order to prevent ge, the three main categories of organisms that need to be killed or suppressed are spore-forming bacteria, yeasts and fungi. To eliminate only one category may lead to the eration of the remaining categories, so that spoilage is not prevented.
Accordingly, Mann teaches spoilage prevention by using treatment sms that, at least in the first instance, inhibit rganisms that initiate aerobic spoilage, notably yeasts and, at the surface of silage, fungi. An organism capable of doing this may also inhibit the development of other spoilage microorganisms, and may be identified by screening. An organism of the species Lactobacillus buchneri, which meets this requirement, has been deposited at the National Collection of Industrial and Marine Bacteria on 13th Feb. 1996. Its accession number is 40788.
While treatments using Lactobacillus buchneri reduce spoilage in silage, they do so to only a limited extent.

The following examples serve to r describe and define the invention, and are not intended to limit the invention in any way.
Example 1: Silage was made with fresh cut sugar cane from plants that were imately 12 months old. The sugar cane was manually harvested and chopped using a laboratory-type chopper (Pinheiro, model: PP-47) to an imate length of 30 mm. 3 kg of the chopped material was mixed with the inoculants and conditioned in PVC plastic buckets (mini-silos, 10 cm in diameter and 60 cm in length), which were sealed with tight lids containing Bunsen valves for gas release. The material in the silo was ted to a density of approximately 630 :: 19.9 kg m-3. The mini-silos were stored at room temperature and analyzed after 61 days of storage, and three replicates were prepared for each silo.
Silage was produced using the Lactobacillus plantarum SIL 34 (L. rum are commonly used as silage inoculant) and the Lactobacillus hilgardil' strains SIL 51 (CNCM I- 4784 filed on June 26, 2013) and SIL 52 (CNCM I-4785 filed on June 26, 2013) as inoculants.
The acillus plantarum and the Lactobacillus hilgardii strains were isolated from sugarcane silage and identified with 98% sequence identity. Silage t any inoculants was used as a control. The inoculants were cultured according to Avila et al. ts of an indigenous and a commercial Lactobacillus buchneri strain on quality of sugar cane silage, Grass Forage Sci 6:3 , 2009). After the final culture, the number of cells was counted on De Man Rogosa Sharpe agar (Oxoid CM361, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England), and the concentration of the culture was adjusted to 9 log cfu ml-l. The culture was mixed with 80 mL of sterile distilled water and sprayed onto the chopped sugar cane to a final concentration of 6 log cfu g-l e.
The control received the same amount of water without any bacteria. For each treatment, a separate sprayer was used to avoid cross-contamination.
The weights of the empty and full silos were recorded. After g, the silos were maintained at room temperature (average of 25 CC) and protected from sunlight and rain. After 61 days of ensiling, the full silos were weighed prior to opening. The loss of dry matter (DM) was calculated using the weight and DM content of the fresh forage and silage. ation with the Lactobacillus plantarum (SIL 34) resulted in silage with a lower DM content, a higher DM losses and a higher NDF compared to the other strains and the l. In the silage inoculated with Lactobacillus hilgardii strains SIL 51and SIL 52, lower DM losses were found compared to the SIL 34 and the control (Table 1). Inoculation with these same strains also resulted in silage with a higher DM content and lower NDF. The ants did not influence the pH value and soluble carbohydrate content of the silage.

One of the samples was weighed and dried in a fan- assisted oven at 55 CC for 96 h; another sample was used to make a water extract to determine the pH value; evaluate the microbial population and detect fermentation end products.
The dried samples were ground in a -type grinder using a 30-mesh sieve and stored in labeled plastic pots. The samples were analyzed for DM content (AOAC (1990) Official methods of analyses. 15th edition. Washington; DC; USA: Association of Official Analytical Chemists); water-soluble ydrates (WSC) by the phenol method s M; Gilles KA; Hamilton JK; Rebers PA; Smith F (1956) Colorimetric method for determination of sugars and related substances.

J Dairy Sci 82:1791-1794; 1999); using an Ankom Fiber Analyser (ANKOM Technology ation; Fairport; NY; USA) and eXpressed on a DM basis.
The levels of ethanol, opanediol and lactic, acetic, propionic and butyric acids were measured by HPLC according to Carvalho et al. ts of propionic acid and Lactobacillus buchneri (SIL72) addition on fermentative and microbiological characteristics of sugar cane silage treated with or without calcium oXide. Grass Forage Sci doi: 10.1111/j.1365- 2494.2012.00863.X). The acids, ethanol and 1,2-propanediol were identified by comparing their retention times with the retention times of known standards. The concentrations of the identified compounds were determined by the external ation method. The HPLC apparatus (Shimadzu model LC-10Ai, Shimadzu Corp., Tokyo, Japan) was equipped with a dual ion system consisting of an ultraviolet detector sSPD-lOAi) and a refractive indeX detector (RID 10A). An ion exclusion column from Shimadzu (Shim-pack SCR-lOlH, 7.9 mm X 30 cm) operated at 50 CC was used for the chromatographic separation. The mobile phase consisted of a 100 mM oric acid solution with a flow rate of 0.6 mL min-1. The acids were detected by UV absorbance (210nm). Ethanol and 1,2-propanediol were identified using the refractive indeX detector. The pH values were ed with a potentiometer domatic n SS-2).
As shown in Table 2, the silage inoculated with the SIL 51 and SIL 52 strains with the lowest loss of DM had a lower concentration of ethanol than the SIL 34 and the control. The SIL 34 strain that resulted in the silage with the greatest loss of DM produced the highest amount of lactic acid. In the silages inoculated with SIL 51 and SIL 52 strains, higher concentrations of acetic acid and 1,2-pronanediol were also noted compared to the SIL 34 and the control. The propionic acid levels were similarly low, consistent with the SIL 34 and the control silage.
