Two bacteria strains with cellulolytic potential isolated from Tibetan yak (Bos grunniens) rumen were identified as Enterococcus faecalis (JF85) and Enterococcus faecium (Y83). Isolates grow well within a range of temperature 15 to 55 °C and pH 3.0-7.0, respectively. Two strains were inoculated with or without Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp) to Pennisetum sinese silage for 90 days. All inoculants increased lactic acid content, decreased pH and lignocellulose contents compared with silage without additives (control). The lowest pH, highest lactic acid and largest reduction in lignocellulose contents were observed in JF85+Lp and Y83+Lp silages. Isolates alone or in combination with Lp significantly increased WSC, mono- and disaccharides contents as compared to the control. Combined addition efficiently improved enzymatic hydrolysis of Pennisetum sinese silage, indicated by higher glucose yield and cellulose convertibility. Pennisetum sinese ensiled with combined additives is a suitable storage and pretreatment method prior to sugars production from energy crop.

Forages fed to goats influence ruminal microbiota, and further contribute to affect growth performance, meat quality and its nutritional composition. Our objective for current study was to investigate the effects of different forages on growth performance, carcass traits, meat nutritional composition, rumen microflora, and the relationships between key bacteria and amino acids and fatty acids in the and muscles of goats. Boer crossbred goats were separately fed commercial concentrate diet supplemented with Hemarthria altissima (HA), Pennisetum sinese (PS), or forage maize (FG), and then slaughtered 90 days after the beginning of the experiment.

Vegetation restoration is a good way to improve soil quality and reduce erosion. However, the impact of vegetation restoration on soil quality in the dry-hot valley region has been overlooked for many years. This study aimed to reveal the effects of Pennisetum sinese (PS) and natural vegetation (NV) on soil quality and then to explore the feasibility of introducing PS for the vegetation restoration of the dry-hot valley region.

In this research, we evaluated the effect of exogenous lactic acid bacteria and Amomum villosum essential oil (AVEO) on the chemical composition, microbial community composition, microbial functional diversity, and fermentation quality of Broussonetia papyrifera (BP) and Pennisetum sinese (PS) mixed silages. The BP:PS mixing ratios were 100:0, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, and 0:100. After 3 and 30 days of ensiling at 22°C-25°C, microbial diversity and function, and fermentation quality, were assessed.

Background/objective: Silage characteristics of grass materials directly affect their silage qualities. To expand the source of silage raw materials and develop mixed silages underlined by exploring the positive interactions between forage grasses and legumes, three gramineous grasses, Napier grass (), king grass (), and forage maize () were separately mixed ensiled with a combination of four forage legumes including , , , and .
Methods: The chemical composition and fermentation quality of the mixed silages were analyzed and compared with those of the sole silages of these three grasses, as well as the diversity of microbial communities, through the 16S/ITS full-length sequencing.
