This study was conducted to evaluate the molasses and bacterial inoculant effects on ensiled corn stover chemical composition,
physical characteristics, aerobic stability and total microbial cell count. Corn stover (CS) was ensiled into 24 laboratory silos
with molasses or without molasses (3 and 0%), with inoculant (10 and 0 ml/kg of CS) and air ingression (air ingressed or no
air ingressed) for 60 days. On day 30 of ensiling, air ingressed treatments were exposed to air. A significant interaction was
observed among molasses, inoculant and air ingressed for chemical composition of ensiled CS (P<0.05). Highest crude protein
contents were present in non-air ingressed, molasses, without inoculant treated ensiled CS (P<0.05). The molasses and
inoculant interaction showed lowest neutral detergent fibre contents in molasses and inoculant treated CS (P<0.05). The lowest
acid detergent fibre contents were found in molasses treated CS compared to CS without molasses treatment (P<0.05). The
molasses, inoculant and air ingressed interaction showed the lowest ash contents in air ingressed CS ensiled with inoculant and
without molasses (P<0.05). While, this interaction showed highest ash contents by ensiled CS treated with molasses, without
inoculant and air ingressed (P<0.05). The highest total lactobacillus cell load was expressed by Molasses with inoculant with
air ingression (MIA), MA (Molasses with air ingression) treatments than MN (Molasses with non-air ingression), IN (Inoculant
with non-air ingression), IA (Inoculant with air ingression), N (non-air ingression), A (air ingression) and MIN (Molasses with
inoculant with non-air ingression) treatments (P<0.05). Lowest cell count of E.coli was expressed by IN treatments than MN,
MA, MIA, IA, N, A and MIN treatments (P<0.05). Based on findings, it is concluded that bacterial inoculants (L. buchneri
40788 and L. plantarum MTD-1) along with molasses supplementation improves the physical characteristics, nutritional profile
and aerobic stability of ensiled CS.
