For the purpose of recycling the SLES, a study was conducted to improve the feeding values of SLES via microbial inoculation. The SLES was ensiled with 0.5% (v/w) Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB, Lactobacillus plantarum) or 0.5% (v/w) yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) for 15 days. Four treatments were made included 100% SLES (control), 99% SLES +0.5% LAB (T1), 99% SLES +0.5% yeast (T2) and 99% SLES +0.5% LAB +0.5% yeast (T3). Compared with the raw SLES (not fermentation), 100% SLES (control) after ensiling showed higher (p}, journal = {American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
