[Microflora in corn silage]

E Krustev, B Khristov

    Veterinarno-Meditsinski Nauki
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Microscopic fungi in maize silage varied by depth, with fewer species at 1.5m. Lactic acid fermentation and aerobic conditions inhibited fungal growth, and aging silage reduced Fusarium and Trichoderma species.

    Area of Science:

    • Agricultural Science
    • Microbiology
    • Food Science

    Context:

    • Maize silage is a crucial feed for livestock.
    • Microbial communities in silage influence feed quality and safety.
    • Understanding fungal distribution in silage is vital for storage management.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the distribution and diversity of microscopic fungi in maize silage at different storage depths.
    • To identify fungal species present and their population dynamics.
    • To explore the effects of silage aging and environmental conditions on fungal populations.

    Summary:

    • A study analyzed 1050 maize silage samples from various depths.
    • Eight fungal species (Mucor, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Alternaria, Trichoderma, Fusarium) were identified.
    • Fungal diversity was highest at the surface and ground layers, with a decrease at 1.5m depth.
    • Lactic acid fermentation and aerobic conditions showed mycostatic effects.
    • Fusarium and Trichoderma species were absent in aged silage.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into fungal ecology within silage storage systems.
    • Informs best practices for silage management to optimize feed quality.
    • Highlights the role of fermentation and aeration in controlling fungal contamination.
    • Contributes to understanding silage spoilage and preservation mechanisms.
