Abstract
In order to increase the utilization of herbal residues, realize efficient utilization of resources, the bacterial community and anaerobic fermentation characteristics of alfalfa ensiling treated with 36 kinds of herbal residues were studied. All the herbal residues improved the anaerobic fermentation quality in different degrees, indicated by lower pH, NH3-N and butyric acid concentrations. However, the contents of lactic and acetic acids varied widely in silage with different herbal residues. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the improved fermentation quality was closely associated with the variation of lactic acid bacteria community. Consequently, the herbal residues could improve anaerobic fermentation quality by stimulating desirable Lactobacillus species and inhibiting undesirable microbes. This study provides new insights for efficient utilization of herbal residues.

Abstract
Silage may contain several agents that are potentially hazardous to animal health, the safety of milk or other animal food products, or both. This paper reviews published literature about microbial hazards, plant toxins, and chemical hazards. Microbial hazards include Clostridium botulinum, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Mycobacterium bovis, and various mold species. High concentrations of C. botulinum in silage have been associated with cattle botulism. A high initial concentration of C. botulinum spores in forage in combination with poor silage fermentation conditions can promote the growth of C. botulinum in silage. The elevated pH level that is generally associated with aerobic deterioration of silage is a major factor influencing concentrations of L. monocytogenes, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, and molds in silage and may also encourage survival and growth of M. bovis, the bacterium that causes bovine tuberculosis. Soil is a major source of B. cereus spores in silage; growth of this bacterium in silage appears to be limited. Hazards from plant toxins include pyrrolizidine, tropane and tropolone alkaloids, phytoestrogens, prussic acid, and mimosine, compounds that exist naturally in certain plant species that may contaminate forages at harvesting. Another group of toxins belonging to this category are ergot alkaloids, which are produced by endophytic fungal species in forages such as tall fescue grass, sorghum, and ryegrass. Varying effects of ensiling on the degradation of these plant toxins have been reported. Chemical hazards include nitrate, nitrite, and toxic oxide gases of nitrogen produced from nitrate and high levels of butyric acid, biogenic amines, and ammonia. Chemical and microbiological hazards are associated with poorly fermented silages, which can be avoided by using proper silage-making practices and creating conditions that promote a rapid and sufficient reduction of the silage pH and prevent aerobic deterioration.

Abstract
AIMS Silage is grass, preserved by fermentation and used as winter feed for cattle. The impact of a range of current grass silage preparation practices on the survival of Escherichia coli C600φ3538(Δvtx2 ::cat) and on the induction, release and infectivity of free phage were investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS Wilted and fresh grass samples, from plots with and without slurry application, were ensiled with or without formic acid. Each treatment combination was inoculated with approximately 6 log10 CFU per g E. coli C600φ3538(Δvtx2 ::cat) (donor strain) and E. coli C600::kanamycinR (recipient strain) in test-tube model silos and incubated in the dark at 15°C. The physico-chemical (pH, ammonia, ethanol, lactic acid and volatile fatty acids) and microbiological (total viable counts, TVC, total Enterobacteriaceae counts, TEC, E. coli counts, ECC and lactic acid bacteria, LAB) properties of each fermentation were monitored throughout the experiment as were the concentrations of E. coli C600φ3538(Δvtx2 ::cat), E. coli C600::kanamycinR , free phage and transductants, using culture and PCR-based methods. Over the course of the experiment the pH of the grass samples typically decreased by 2 pH units. TVC, TEC and ECC decreased by up to 2·3, 6·4 and 6·2 log10 CFU per g, respectively, while the LAB counts remained relatively stable at 5·2-7·1 log10 CFU per g. Both donor and recipient strains decreased by approximately 5 log10 CFU per g. Free phages were detected in all treatments and transductants were detected and confirmed by PCR in the silo containing wilted grass, pretreated with slurry and ensiled without formic acid. CONCLUSIONS Verocytotoxigenic E. coli may survive the ensiling process and the conditions encountered are sufficient to induce vtx2 bacteriophage leading to low levels of phage-mediated vtx2 gene transfer. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These studies suggest that the ensiling of grass may create an environment which facilitates the emergence of new verocytotoxigenic E. coli.

Abstract
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) strains are responsible for human illness. Ruminants are recognized as a major reservoir of STEC, and animal feeds, such as silages, have been pointed out as a possible vehicle for the spread of STEC. The present study aimed to monitor the fate of pathogenic E. coli O26 strains in corn material experimentally inoculated (10⁵ CFU/g) during ensiling, just after silo opening, and after several days of aerobic exposure. The addition of 3 bacterial inoculants, Propionibacterium sp., Lactobacillus buchneri, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (10⁶ CFU/g), was evaluated for their abilities to control these pathogens. The results showed that E. coli O26 could not survive in corn silage 5 days postensiling, and the 3 inoculants tested did not modify the fate of pathogen survival during ensiling. In the case of direct contamination at silo opening, E. coli O26 could be totally eradicated from corn silage previously inoculated with Leuconostoc mesenteroides. The combination of proper ensiling techniques and the utilization of selected bacterial inoculants appears to represent a good strategy to guarantee nutritional qualities of cattle feed while at the same time limiting the entry of pathogenic E. coli into the epidemiological cycle to improve the microbial safety of the food chain.

Abstract
AIMS To monitor the fate of inoculated Escherichia coli in dry and moist hay of various types, under laboratory conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS Wheat, vetch and clover hay were used as received or wetted to 250-300 g kg(-1) moisture. The hay was inoculated at about 10(6) CFU g(-1) with a kanamycin-resistant E. coli strain that expresses the green fluorescence protein, and was stored in small open glass jars that were covered with aluminium foil. Three jars per treatment were sampled on days 1 and 3, or 4 and 7, or 8, 20 and 50, respectively, after the initiation of the experiments, and the numbers of E. coli in the hay were determined. The results indicated that E. coli disappeared from both dry and moist hay by 7-8 days after inoculation. However, in a few cases colonies that were presumed to be E. coli developed after incubation in Luria broth medium. CONCLUSIONS The tagged E. coli strain usually disappeared rapidly from both the dry and the moist hay, in spite of the high level of inocula used. However, in some cases a few, possibly injured E. coli might have persisted, and could be detected after incubation in a rich growth medium. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study is part of a risk assessment associated with sewage irrigation of forage crops in Israel. The results indicate that E. coli added to the hay is not likely to pose a health risk to cattle or to humans. Nevertheless, more research with natural strains of E. coli and other enteric pathogens that might be more adapted to forage conditions is warranted in order to ensure the safety of sewage-irrigated crops.
