Abstract
Laboratory bag silos were used to assess additions of microbial inocula and ammonia on fermentation of alfalfa silage. In Experiment 1, 500 and 1000 g microbial inocula per 1000 kg and .7 to 1.2% ammonia added to alfalfa forage increased lactic acid. Water soluble carbohydrates and pH were lower for treated than for control silages 50 days after ensiling.
