Research note:The effect of a lactic acid bacterial inoculant on the fermentation dynamics of Eragrostis curvula during ensiling

Abstract

Reports the results of a study conducted to determine if the use of a lactic acid bacterial inoculant when ensiling Eragrostis curvula is beneficial in terms of the fermentation dynamics and the aerobic stability of the silage. Illustrates with a table and graphs
