Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to isolate, characterize, and select lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains from rehydrated corn grain silages (RCGSs) and evaluated the effects of these strains as inoculants for improving silage chemical composition, microbiological quality, and aerobic stability.
Methods and results: One hundred and forty LAB were isolated from RCGSs, characterized, and subjected to growth and pH reduction tests in corn grain extract. Thirty-nine strains were evaluated for metabolite production, starch degradation, and inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus. Selected strains (21) included Pediococcus acidilactici (PA), P. pentosaceus (PP), Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (LP); and Limosilactobacillus fermentum (LF). After 60 days of storage, strains 180 (PA) and 190 (PP) showed the greatest pH reduction (3.69) and lactic acid production (4.72%) but lower aerobic stability (AS) (27 h). The AS was highest in silages inoculated with strains 185 (PP) and 126 (PA) (92.3 h). Inoculation with strains 221 (PP) and 116 (LF) (1.95%) had the lowest dry matter (DM) losses (1.95%), while strains 77, 79 (PA); 190, 110, and 52 (PP) minimized starch losses (8.22%).
Conclusion: RCGS epiphytic strains can improve silage fermentation profiles, each strain contributing specific benefits based on its metabolism.
