Description
We prepared laboratory-scale silages of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), maize (Zea ,mays L.) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Moench), irradiated them with gamma rays prior to storage and examined microflora and fermentation quality of them. Spore-forming anaerobic bacteria, which can cause butyric fermentation of silage, were eliminated from the silages with an 8 kGy dose. Molds and yeasts, which can cause aerobic deterioration of silage, were eliminated from the silages with doses of 4kGy and 16 kGy, respectively, whereas 10^2 cfu/g of aerobic bacteria were still detected from the silages exposed to a 16 kGy dose. The silages which were exposed to a dose of more than 6.6 kGy contained only less than 10^4 cfu/g of lactic acid bacteria and little lactic acid and they were of near neutral pH. These results suggested that at least a 16 kGy dose is necessary to inhibit butyric fermentation and aerobic deterioration of silage.
