Silage production is a green forage preservation method for livestock feeding. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that epiphytically founds on the forage plants can break down water-soluble carbohydrates in anaerobic conditions into organic acids mainly lactic acid. As a result of breakdown, silage pH comes down preventing green and wet forage from spoilage. Usage of microbial inoculants that affects the quality of fermentation, silage quality and digestibility of forage is becoming increasingly widespread. In this study, high lactic acid producer LAB isolates were investigated in terms of their effects on the in-vitro gas production, organic matter digestibility, metabolic energy value and feed quality of inoculated corn silage. Keywords : LAB, corn silage quality, in-vitro digestion
