Fig. 2From: The metabolome and bacterial composition of high-moisture Italian ryegrass silage inoculated with lactic acid bacteria during ensilingCommunity diversity and richness of the high moisture Italian ryegrass silages inoculated with or without LAB during ensiling. A Chao l index of silage samples during ensiling; B Shannon index of silage samples during ensiling. CK control, HE Lactobacillus buchneri, HO Lactobacillus rhamnosus, M combination of HE and HO; 3, 15, 60: 3, 15, and 60 days of ensiling, respectively. Values with different uppercase letters (A–C) show significant differences among additives in the same ensiling day (P < 0.05); values with different lowercase letters (a–c) show significant differences among ensiling days in the same additive (P < 0.05)Back to article page
