Notes:
Rice hulls were ensiled in laboratory silos in two separate experiments with the same treatments. In the first, sealing was delayed for a period of days. In the second experiment, silos were sealed immediately after filling. In each experiment, four treatments were applied, namely control, molasses 2% added, urea 0.5% added, and molasses 2% + urea 0.5% added.Lactobacilli, streptococci, and coliforms appear to form the main bulk of the flora characteristic of fresh rice hulls, while the lactic acid bacteria dominate at the commencement of the silage ripening. The characteristics of 30 representative pure strains of both lactic acid and coliform bacteria isolated from rice hulls laboratory silage are described. On the basis of morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics, the isolated cultures were identified as ten strains of Lactobacillus ten strains of Streptococcus, five strains of Klebsiella, and five strains of Escherichia.
