Efficacy of Legumes Conservation by the Introduction of Lactobacillus RS4 from Epiphytic Microflora of Clover

Abstract

Biological preservative on the basis of native strain of lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus RS4, isolated from epiphytic microflora of clover, is recommended for practical application by preparation of forages from the high-protein dried crops. The comparative analysis of chemical composition, organic acids, amino acids and nutritional value of the main forage crops, and also characteristic parameters of three options of silages of clover revealed that the introduction of lactobacilli in plant biomass is economically effective.
