      fermentation, microbial protein yield, and growth performance of lambs.

AB  - This study aimed to examine the effects of feeding corn silage inoculated without 
      or with either Lactobacillus buchneri (LB) alone or a combination of LB and 
      Lactobacillus plantarum (LBLP) on the apparent digestibility, ruminal 
      fermentation, microbial protein synthesis, and growth performance of lambs. 
      Thirty Santa InesxDorper crossbred intact males lambs weighing 20.4+/-3.8 kg were 
      blocked by weight into 10 groups. Lambs in each group were randomly assigned to 1 
      of the following 3 dietary treatments: untreated (Control), LB, and LBLP silage. 
      Lambs were fed experimental diets for 61 d. The apparent digestibility was 
      indirectly estimated from indigestible NDF measured on d 57 to 59. Spot urine 
      samples were collected from all animals on d 59 to estimate microbial protein 
      synthesis. Lambs were slaughtered for carcass evaluation on d 61 when they 
      weighed 32.4+/-5.2 kg. Six additional ruminally cannulated Santa InesxDorper 
      crossbred wethers weighing 40.5+/-1.8 kg were used to examine dietary effects on 
      ruminal fermentation. Average daily gain was increased when lambs were fed LBLP 
      silage (P<0.05) but not LB silage. The LBLP silage had the highest (P<0.05) 
      lactic acid concentration and both inoculated silages had greater acetic acid 
      concentrations than the Control silage (P<0.05). Inoculation of corn silage 
      increased intakes of DM, OM, CP, NDF, total carbohydrate (CHO), and GE by the 
      lambs but decreased digestibility of DM, OM, CP, total and nonstructural 
      carbohydrates, and concentration of GE and ME. (P<0.05). Nevertheless, lambs fed 
      inoculated silages had greater microbial N supply than those on the Control 
      treatment (P<0.05). The acetate to propionate ratio was lower in ruminal fluid of 
      wethers in LBLP treatment than LB and Control treatment (P<0.05) and ruminal pH 
      tended to be greater in LB lambs than in LBLP and Control wethers (P<0.10). 
      Finally, the inoculation with both bacteria combined enhanced the silage 
      fermentation. The intakes of DM, OM, CP, NDF, and GE were improved in the lambs 
      fed corn silage inoculated with L. buchneri alone or combined with L. plantarum. 
      The microbial N supply was enhanced in the lambs fed corn silage inoculated with 
      L. buchneri. The inoculation of L. buchneri combined with L. plantarum reduced 
      the acetate to propionate ratio in ruminal fluid and improved the ADG of lambs.
