Silage review: Recent advances and future uses of silage additives

Short summary

Recent research since 2000 shows that while homofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculants don't always lower pH, they can increase milk production through unclear mechanisms. Obligate heterofermentative LAB, like Lactobacillus buchneri, improve aerobic stability by converting lactic acid to acetic acid, with current focus on finding faster-acting strains.
