Fig. 5From: Effects of additives containing a novel strain on the fermentation characteristics, structural carbohydrates, and α-tocopherol content of rice straw and corn stover silagesEffect of additives on chlorophyll content of rice straw and corn stover silages. Bars with different letters (a, b) indicated the 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 decreasing rate of chlorophyll was calculated by the formula: decreasing rate of chlorophyll = (chlorophyll content of ensiled rice or corn stover – chlorophyll content of rice or corn stover)/chlorophyll content of rice straw or corn stover × 100%Back to article page
