ABSTRACT This study evaluated the rehydration approach of mature corn grains as an alternative for high-moisture corn grain silage production in distinct corn hybrids, storage period, cultivation locations and kernel maturity at plant harvest. High-moisture corn was used as a control. The dry matter content and pH of the silage were measured, and the bacterial community associated with corn grains pre- and post-ensiling was also assessed through 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. The decrease in pH value was directly linked to an ecological microbial succession of Enterobacteriales and Actinomycetales to Lactobacillales in the silage at 120 days after storage, either in rehydrated or high-moisture corn. These results were similar for both maize production locations and hybrids tested. Finally, the similarity between the ensiling processes including rehydrated corn and the high-moisture corn grain silages proves the reliability of the rehydration approach as an alternative for the maintenance of a successful bacterial community structure and composition capable of producing high-quality silages from dent and flint corn hybrids in tropical conditions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of combinations of dry and moist corn and sorghum grain on the carcass and cut characteristics of crossbred lambs Suffolk x Santa Inês produced in feedlots. The experimental design was a randomized block with four treatments and three replicates. Sixty uncastrated male lambs with an initial average weight of 15.5 kg were used in this experiment. Four combinations of grain were evaluated: dry sorghum milled + silage of high-moisture sorghum grain (DS: MS); dry corn milled + silage of high-moisture sorghum grain (DC:MS); dry corn milled + silage of high-moisture corn grain (DC:MC); dry sorghum milled + silage of high-moisture corn grain (DS:MC). There was no difference between treatments for carcass yield, warm and cold carcass weight and for cooling loss. The slaughtering weights of lambs fed DC:MS associations were higher (29.46 kg) than lambs fed DC: MC (24.17 kg), but both did not differ DS:MS (26.18 kg) and DS:MC (25.21 kg). There was influence of the grain associations on the yield of commercial cuts palette and shank. Combinations of corn and sorghum grain, dried and ensiled, can be used to feed lambs in confinement for meat production without affecting the quality of the carcass.

Antagonistic activity of Bacillus subtilis strains, perspective components for creation of rolled highmoisture corn preservatives was investigated. Investigated B. subtilis strains showed antagonistic activityagainst pathogenic and conditionally-pathogenic microorganisms. Test-cultures of Escherichia coli andStaphylococcus аureus showed the highest sensibility to the antagonistic B. subtilis strains. B. subtilisstrains B6у and В1 showed the best ability to inhibit the growth of pathogenic and conditionallypathogenic microorganisms.Flora genus composition on rolled high-moisture corn grain was studied. Flora of rolled highmoisture corn grain is presented by the genus Penicillium in 52% of cases, a remainder consists of thegenus species Fusarium (13%), Rhisopus (13%), Gliocladium (11%), and Mucor (11%). Abovementioned micromycetes showed high sensibility towards investigated B. subtilis strains. Antagonistic B.subtilis strains showed the highest rate of antifungal activity against test-cultures of micromycetes of thegenus species Mucor, Rhisopus, and Penicillium.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition, growth of microorganisms, and the aerobic stability of high-moisture corn grain silage inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum + Propionibacterium acidipropionici. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2 x 5 factorial arrangement with four replications (50 experimental units)  and the treatments were: use or not of microbial inoculant (2 x 105 colony forming unit (CFU) g-1 Lactobacillus plantarum + Propionibacterium acidipropionici) and the storage length for 0, 1, 3, 7, and 14 d. Aerobic stability of silage was evaluated at 28 and 56 d of storage length. The lactic acid bacteria population was influenced by storage length and the greatest values were estimated at 8 d of storage length. Regardless of inoculant application, no enterobacteria were present from 3 d post-ensiling. With respect to mold growth, an interaction between inoculant and storage length was observed wherein molds were most abundant after 3 d of storage in silage that received inoculant. However, at 14 d of storage the use of bacterial inoculant reduced the occurrence of molds. pH values obtained after 3 d of ensiling were less than 4.0 for all the treatments. The high-moisture corn grain silage possessed good fermentative quality. Further, adequate pH values were achieved from the third day of ensilage and were not influenced by the presence of bacterial inoculant.
