Popis: Aerobic spoilage of silage is one of the main causes of economic losses to the livestock industry. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of reuterin-producing L. reuteri SO23 plus glycerol on the aerobic stability of laboratory sorghum silage. Chopped sorghum was added with 2% glycerol and inoculated with L. reuteri SO23 and/or a commercial silage additive. The treated forage was packed in laboratory silos and stored for 90 days. Microbial inoculation did not affect the chemical parameters and all silages had low pH values (≤3.63). It was determined that the silages inoculated with LAB strains were characterized by higher DM recovery (P
