    Research output: Patent

    Abstract

    A method for treating silage, or animal feed susceptible to the growth thereon of spoilage organisms selected from yeasts, moulds and spore-forming bacteria, comprises adding to the feed an antimicrobial effect obtainable by fermentation of Lactobacillus buchneri, NCIMB 40788, said effect being obtained in addition to fatty acids normally produced in fermentation, and said effect being characterised by its ability to inhibit the growth of said spoilage organisms. This effect may be due to a substance that, when subjected to heat for 10 min, is stable at 80 DEG C and inactivated at 120 DEG C.
