Abstract Background: Napier grass Pakchong 1 is used as a fodder crop in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, its fermentation for silage production is challenging owing to the low dry mass content and epiphytic lactic acid bacteria. Here, Lactobacillus plantarum BCC65951 (LAB) inoculation was tested for impact on silage fermentation and use. Silage was prepared with or without inoculation of LAB and stored for 180 days prior to analysis.Results: Gas production at 4-24 h was significantly higher in LAB group (P=0.001). Therefore, the result implied the faster ruminal degradation of LAB, especially during the first 24 h. LAB-inoculated silage exhibited greater levels of lactic acid and in vitro rumen degradability compared to control silage, and significantly lower pH and acetic acid content. To investigate the effect of LAB inoculation on animal performance, ten Brahman bulls were fed on control or LAB-inoculated silage in a crossover experimental design. Animals fed with LAB-inoculated silage had significantly higher voluntary roughage intake and greater average daily body weight gain than those fed with control silage.Conclusions: Results from this study revealed the beneficial effect of Napier Pakchong 1 ensiled with L. plantarum BCC65951 inoculation, both on the fermentative quality of the silage and also the performance of animals fed with the inoculated silage.

Inoculants containing lactic acid bacteria, added to herbage at time of cutting, aid the natural process of fermentation to produce lactic acid during ensilage. This lowers the pH and preserves the silage. It is also claimed that enzyme additives break down polysaccharides in plant cell walls, releasing fermentable sugar to stimulate fermentation and increase the digestibility of the silage. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of inoculants and enzymes on silage fermentation characteristics and gas production during in vitro fermentation.A second cut of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) was mown, chopped to 2 – 4 cm lengths, divided into aliquots and treated at a rate of 10 ml kg-1. The treatments were: 1) control (water), 2) inoculant (Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus plantarum and Propionibacter jensenii at 1.6 x 105 cells g-1 herbage) 3) enzyme (xylanase, β-glucanase and amylase, applied at a rate of 0.001 g kg-1 herbage) and 4) inoculant + enzyme.

<p>Se evaluaron seis ensilajes mixtos de una gramínea y dos especies arbóreas (<em>Avena sativa, Acacía decurrens, Sambucus peruviana</em>) con la inclusión de melaza, ácido fórmico al 85%, extracto crudo enzimático de fluido ruminal y Kem Lac®*, en microsilos de PVC. Se analizó la eficiencia de la fermentación la composición química y la producción de gas in vitro con el fin de establecer los parámetros de degradación ruminal mediante el modelo matemático exponencial Y= a*{1- exp [-b*(X-c)]]. A los 45 días de fermentación se encontraron diferencias significativas (P&lt;0,01) entre los tratamientos con valores promedio de MS de l8%,  pH 3.84 N-NH3 5,49%, ácido acético 1,55%, ácido láctico 0,34%; no se constató la presencia de los ácidos butírico y propiónico. El tratamiento con adición de extracto enzimático ruminal presentó las mejores características nutricionales; esta respuesta se relaciona con el aporte de nutrientes y la eficiencia en su utilización: una DIVMS de 70,86% asociada con un reducido tiempo de colonización (O25 h), menor FDA (23,27%), contenidos mayores de hemicelulosa (21,13%) y mayor porcentaje de proteína protegida B3 (25,22%) (P &lt;0,01), efectos debidos posiblemente a que el extracto enzimático ruminal facilitó la biodisponibilidad de los polisacáridos para su fermentación a nivel ruminal.</p><p>*Kem-Lac@ es un compuesto de bacterias ácidolácticas y enzimas que favorece la fementación in vitro, en este caso en los microsilos.

AbstractImproving the nutrition of livestock is an important aspect of global food production sustainability. This study verified whether lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculant could promote ensiling characteristics, nutritive value, and in vitro enteric methane (CH4) mitigation of forage sorghum (FS) mixture silage in attacking malnutrition in Zebu beef cattle. The FS at the soft dough stage, Cavalcade hay (CH), and cassava chip (CC) were obtained. The treatments were designed as a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design. Factor A was FS prepared without or with CH, CC, and CH + CC. Factor B was untreated or treated with Lactobacillus casei TH14. The results showed that all FS mixture silages preserved well with lower pH values below 4.0 and higher lactic acid contents above 56.4 g/kg dry matter (DM). Adding LAB boosted the lactic acid content of silages. After 24 h and 48 h of in vitro rumen incubation, the CC-treated silage increased in vitro DM digestibility (IVDMD) with increased total gas production and CH4 production. The LAB-treated silage increased IVDMD but decreased CH4 production. Thus, the addition of L. casei TH14 inoculant could improve lactic acid fermentation, in vitro digestibility, and CH4 mitigation in the FS mixture silages.

Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is essential for maintaining human health. The purpose of this study was to isolate novel lactic acid bacteria that overproduce vitamin B2 and to validate their potential as probiotics. In this study, Lactobacillus plantarum HY7715 (HY7715) was selected among lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kimchi. HY7715 showed a very high riboflavin-producing ability compared to the control strain due to the high expression of ribA, ribB, ribC, ribH, and ribG genes. HY7715 produced 34.5 ± 2.41 mg/L of riboflavin for 24 h without consuming riboflavin in the medium under optimal growth conditions. It was able to produce riboflavin in an in vitro model of the intestinal environment. In addition, when riboflavin deficiency was induced in mice through nutritional restriction, higher levels of riboflavin were detected in plasma and urine in the HY7715 administration group than in the control group. HY7715 showed high survival rate in simulated gastrointestinal conditions and had antibiotic resistance below the cutoff MIC value suggested by the European Food Safety Authority; moreover, it did not cause hemolysis. In conclusion, HY7715 could be considered a beneficial probiotic strain for human and animal applications, suggesting that it could be a new alternative to address riboflavin deficiency.

Probiotics are live microorganisms which when consumed in large number together with a food promote the health of the consumer. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from traditional Ethiopian fermented Teff injera dough, Ergo, and Kocho products. A total of 90 LAB were isolated, of which 4 (4.44%) isolates showed 45.35–97.11% and 38.40–90.49% survival rates at pH values (2, 2.5, and 3) for 3 and 6 h, in that order. The four acid-tolerant isolates were found tolerant to 0.3% bile salt for 24 h with 91.37 to 97.22% rate of survival. The acid-and-bile salt-tolerant LAB isolates were found inhibiting some food-borne test pathogenic bacteria to varying degrees. All acid-and-bile-tolerant isolates displayed varying sensitivity to different antibiotics. The in vitro adherence to stainless steel plates of the 4 screened probiotic LAB isolates were ranged from 32.75 to 36.30% adhesion rate. The four efficient probiotic LAB isolates that belonged to Lactobacillus species were identified to the strain level using 16S rDNA gene sequence comparisons and, namely, were Lactobacillus plantarum strain CIP 103151, Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. tolerans strain NBRC 15906, Lactobacillus paracasei strain NBRC 15889, and Lactobacillus plantarum strain JCM 1149. The four Lactobacillus strains were found to be potentially useful to produce probiotic products.

The objective of this study was to isolate and characterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with low carbohydrate tolerance from rumen fluid and to elucidate their probiotic properties and the quality of fermentation of Medicago sativa L. and Trifolium incarnatum L. silage in vitro. We isolated 39 LAB strains and screened for growth in MRS broth and a low-carbohydrate supplemented medium; among them, two strains, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (Lactobacillus plantarum) RJ1 and Pediococcus pentosaceus S22, were able to grow faster in the low-carbohydrate medium. Both strains have promising probiotic characteristics including antagonistic activity against P. aeruginosa, E. coli, S. aureus, and E. faecalis; the ability to survive in simulated gastric-intestinal fluid; tolerance to bile salts; and proteolytic activity. Furthermore, an in vitro silage fermentation study revealed that alfalfa and crimson clover silage inoculated with RJ1 and S22 showed significantly decreased pH and an increased LAB population at the end of fermentation. Also, the highest lactic acid production was noted (p < 0.05) in LAB-inoculated silage vs. non-inoculated legume silage at high moisture. Overall, the data suggest that RJ1 and S22 could be effective strains for fermentation of legume silage.

Silage fermentation is progressively restricted as the extent of pre-wilting increases (O'Kiely et_al., 1988). The magnitude of the improvement in silage nutritive value in response to a lactic acid bacteria inoculant could be related to the extent of the fermentation in the untreated silage. The objective of this experiment was to determine if the response in silage nutritive value to a Lactobacillus plantarum inoculant was similar at different levels of dry matter (DM) concentration.
