본 시험은 젖산균 첨가제가 목초 라운드베일 랩핑 사일리지의 품질에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 2년간 수행되었다. 시험구 배치는 난괴법 3반복으로 무처리, 첨가제 A, B, C로 하여 총 4처리를 두었다. 조지방, 조단백질, in vitro 건물 소화율은 첨가제를 처리한 구에서 높게 나타났다. 또한 첨가제 처리는 사일리지의 pH를 유의적으로 낮추었다(p<0.05). 건물 함량은 첨가제 처리구가 높았으며 첨가제 처리로 유기산 함량은 유의적인 차이를 보여주었다(p<0.05). 젖산 함량은 첨가제 처리로 증가되었으나 초산과 낙산 함량은 감소되었다. 건물손실과 사일리지 품질은 젖산균 첨가제 처리로 개선되는 효과를 보여 주었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 사일리지 조제시 미생물 첨가제의 이용은 사일리지의 발효와 품질을 개선시켜주는 것으로 나타났다.
This experiment was conducted to determine the effect of microbial inoculant on the quality of round baled grass silage at experimental field of Grassland and Forages Division, National Livestock Research Institute, RDA, Suwon from 1997 to 1998. The experiment was consist of randomized block design with three replications. The treatments were three different inoculant (control, inoculant A, B and C). The contents of ether extract(EE), crude protein(CP) and in vitro dry matter digestibility(IVDMD) in inoculant treatment plots were higher than those in control. Silages treated by Inoculant A, Band C had significantly lower acidity than that of control silage (p<0.05). Dry matter(DM) content of control silage was higher than those of inoculant treated silage. There were significant differences in organic acid contents among treatments(p<0.05). Lactic acid was increased with inoculant treatment, but, acetic and butyric acid was decreased. The DM loss of all silages were decreased with inoculant treatment and quality grade of inoculant treated silage was higher than that of control. Results of this study indicate that addition of microbial inoculant will improve the fermentation and quality of round baled grass silage.
