Abstract: 【Objective】 The purpose of the experiment was to study the effects of exogenous biological agents on the fermentation quality, nutritional value and 72 h rumen degradation rate of corn stalk and potato pulp mixed silage, screen efficient feed biological agents, and explore practical corn straw feed conversion technology.【Method】 The straw of grain and feed maize variety Zhongyuandan 32 was used as the experimental material.The corn variety Zhongyuan Dan 32 straw and Kexin 1 potato were used as experimental materials to mix silage in the ratio of 3∶1. A complete randomized experimental design was adopted. There were 15 treatments: enzyme preparation (CE1, CE2, CE3 and CE4), bacteria preparation (LAB) and enzyme bacteria compound treatment group (MCL1, MCL2, MCL3, MCL4, MCL5, MCL6, MCL7, MCL8 and MCL9), at the same time, the control group (CK) without any enzyme bacteria preparation was set.After 60 days of silage fermentation, the silage quality index and rumen degradation rate of mixed silage were measured.【Result】 The sensory evaluation of each treatment and control of mixed silage reached excellent grade.The contents of lactic acid and acetic acid in enzyme treated groups and enzyme bacteria treated groups were significantly higher than those in bacteria treated group and control (P < 0.05).The contents of lactic acid in MCL2 and MCL4 groups were the highest, 2.82% and 2.77% respectively.Compared with the control, the contents of cellulose, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) in the mixed silage of each treatment group decreased significantly (P < 0.05), and the MCL2 group was the lowest, 22.86%, 53.43% and 33.99%, respectively.The 72 h rumen degradation rate of cellulose in 1 g/3 kg cellulase addition groups (CE1, MCL2, MCL6, MCL7) were significantly higher than that in other groups (P < 0.05).【Conclusion】 The synergistic effects of enzymes, bacteria and bacterial enzymes promoted the fermentation of corn straw and potato residue mixed silage to varying degrees, improved the nutritional value of mixed silage, improved the degradation efficiency of nutrients in rumen of ruminants.Synthesizing the fermentation quality, nutritional composition and rumen degradation rate of corn straw, enzyme bacteria complex treatments > enzyme treatments > bacteria treatments, in which MCL2 group (xylanase 1 g/3 kg, pectinase 1 g/3 kg, β-glucanase 1 g/3 kg, Lactobacillus 3 g/3 kg and cellulase 1 g/3 kg) were the best.Cellulase could reduce the contents of cellulose, ADF and NDF in corn straw mixed silage, and the optimum amount of cellulase was 1 g/3 kg.
