Mechanistic insights into fungal succession mediated by Pichia kudriavzevii during aerobic deterioration of ensiled total mixed ration
Introduction Ensiled total mixed ration (TMR) is a staple in modern ruminant nutrition, combining forage, grains, and by‑products to meet the complex energy and protein needs of dairy and beef operations. However, aerobic deterioration after opening silos or feed bunkers threatens feed quality, nutritional value, and shelf life. Recent mechanistic work has begun to chart…

Pichia kudriavzevii Drives Fungal Succession in Aerobic TMR
Introduction: The Challenge of Aerobic Deterioration in Silage Ensiled total mixed ration (TMR) is a cornerstone of modern livestock nutrition, combining forage, grains, minerals, and concentrates to meet animals’ energetic and protein needs. However, aerobic deterioration after silo opening can rapidly degrade feed quality, reduce palatability, and increase spoilage losses. Recent mechanistic studies illuminate the…
