Effects of <i>Lactobacillus buchneri</i> and <i>Lactobacillus rhamnosus</i> on Ryegrass Silage Fermentation and Aerobic Stability

Italian ryegrass is a high-quality forage grass, and a full understanding of the changes in its microbiome and metabolome during aerobic exposure can prolong its aerobic stability and improve its utilization value. Italian ryegrass silage was prepared with deionized water (CK), <i>Lactobacillu...

description Italian ryegrass is a high-quality forage grass, and a full understanding of the changes in its microbiome and metabolome during aerobic exposure can prolong its aerobic stability and improve its utilization value. Italian ryegrass silage was prepared with deionized water (CK), <i>Lactobacillus rhamnosus</i> BDy3-10 (LR), <i>Lactobacillus buchneri</i> TSy1-3 (LB), and a mixture of these two lactic acid bacteria (M). The silage was maintained at ambient temperature for 60 days followed by aerobic exposure. The results show that the Italian ryegrass silage in the LB and M groups exhibited aerobic stability for up to 19 days. A total of 1881 chemicals were identified in Italian ryegrass silage. These metabolites are associated with bacterial communities, especially <i>Lactobacillus</i>. The addition of lactic acid bacteria resulted in a common differential metabolic pathway compared to CK: “phenylpropanoid biosynthesis”. “Flavone and flavonol biosynthesis” was the significant differential metabolic pathway between LB and LR. Inoculation with LB significantly increased the concentrations of lactic acid, acetic acid, vitexin, and luteolin. In conclusion, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) additives affect the microbial community and metabolites of silage. The application of LB inoculants is a feasible way to obtain well-fermented Italian ryegrass silage and improve aerobic stability, even at higher moisture content levels.
