Effect of Microbial and Chemical Combo Additives on Nutritive Value and Fermentation Characteristic of Whole Crop Barley Silage Dong Hyeon Kim1,a, Sardar M. Amanullah1,2,a, Hyuk Jun Lee1, Young Ho Joo1, and Sam Churl Kim1,* 1 Division of Applied Life Science (BK21 Plus & Institute of Agriculture and Life Science), Gyeongsang National University, Jinju 660-701, Korea ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to assess the effects of microbial and chemical combo additives on nutritive values, fermentation indices and aerobic stability of whole crop barley silage. Barley forage (Youngyang) was harvested at about 30% dry matter (DM) by treatments, chopped to 5 cm length and treated with distilled water only (CON), Lactobacillus plantarum (INO), propionic acid (PRO) or an equal mixture of INO and PRO (MIX). Barley forages were ensiled in 4 replications for 0, 2, 7, and 100 days. On 100 days of ensiling, MIX silage had higher (p
