promotes the proliferation of lactic acid bacteria and influences the fermentation quality of whole-plant corn silage.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the promoting effect of a (BV) strain on lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and determine its influence on the fermentation quality and aerobic stability of silage.

Methods: Flat colony counting method was used to evaluate the effect of BV on the growth of LAB. Freshly harvested whole-plant corn was inoculated separately with BV and L.
