Process for biological ensiling of vegetable and/or animal materials

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Animal and/or vegetable materials are ensiled biologically with the aid of lactic acid forming bacteria and carbohydrate materials which can be converted to lactic acid. To facilitate the ensiling process. selected acid tolerant lactic acid forming bacteria of the species Streptococcus faecalis are added to the starting materials, together with fermentable carbohydrates, materials which degrade starch into fermentable carbohydrates, and/or selected lactic acid forming starch degrading bacterial of the genera Streptococcus and Leuconostoc.
