ABSTRACT
The effects of bacterial or chemical additives on the microbial population and aerobic stability of silage were examined. Whole-plant maize silages were made: MO, control group without additives; MB, with bacterial inoculant; MBC, with bacterial inoculant and chemical additive; and MC, with chemical additive. The microbial population was determined in silages after opening the silo and exposing the contents to air for 7 days. It was found that the MBC bacterial-chemical additive considerably inhibited the development of mold fungi after air exposition and improved the aerobic stability of maize silage.
