Bacterial community analysis of Leymus chinensis and Stipa baicalensis silage treated with different silage additives using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing
We harvested Leymus chinensis and Stipa baicalensis materials and prepared silage with four additive treatments: no additive, Lactobacillus plantarum, cellulase, and the mixture of Lactobacillus plantarum and cellulase. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was applied to explore the effects of different silage additives on bacterial community composition during silage fermentation. This dataset helps reveal the microbial mechanism of additives improving forage silage quality.
