Extract

Microbial inoculants are generally used to provide a better fermentation condition in silage making. A decrease in yeast and mould numbers with improvement in aerobic stability of high moisture maize silages has also been reported due to a microbial inoculation (Filya et al., 2004). Changes were observed in milk yield and composition of cows consuming diets containing inoculated silage (Kurtoglu and Coskun, 2003). The objectives of this experiment were to investigate the effects of Lalsil inoculant on aerobic stability of maize silage, and on feed intake, milk yield and composition of Holstein dairy cows when fed inoculated silage.
