Effect of additives on α-tocopherol content of rice straw and corn stover silages. Bars with different letters indicated a significant difference among the treatments at P < 0.05, n = 4. CON, rice straw or corn stover ensiled without additives; QH, rice straw or corn stover ensiled with QH1 strain; QC, rice straw or corn stover ensiled with QH1 strain combined with cell wall degradation enzyme; QLC, rice straw or corn stover ensiled with QH1 strain combined with L. plantarum YM3 and cell wall degradation enzyme; A, additive; M, materials; A × M, additive × material. The increasing rate of α-tocopherol was calculated by the formula: increasing rate of α-tocopherol = (α-tocopherol content of ensiled rice or corn stover – α-tocopherol content of rice or corn stover)/α-tocopherol content rice straw or corn stover × 100%
