This experiment was conducted to investigate effects of silage additives on quality and in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics of first season ratoon rice whole-crop silage. The experiment compared three fermentation-enhancing preparations of bacterial and enzyme additives, added at 500 g•t-1 fresh weight when ensiling whole crop ratoon rice, and a control (CK, 500 g•t-1 water). The additive treatments were: N1, Lactobacillus plantarum (60%)+cellulase (30%)+xylanase (10%); N2, L. plantarum (70%)+Enterococcus faecalis (20%)+cellulase (5%)...
