Note. B0: no bacteria-control; B1: L. plantarum; B2: P. freudenreichii subsp. Shermanii; B3: combination of L. plantarum and P. freudenreichii subsp. Shermanii; BACT: bacteria; DM: dry matter; CP: crude protein; ADF: acid detergent fibre; NDF: neutral detergent fibre; WSC: water soluble carbohydrate; a, b, and c: means in columns with similar letters were not significantly different (p > 0.05).
