Abstract: The history of silage preparation technology development is tightly related with human agricultural and animal husbandry progress. As an important feed resource for domestic animals, especially for ruminants, how to enhance the nutritional value of silage and improve animals' performance by its application has always been a hot research topic in animal feed science. The appearance of additives for silage preparation has brought a new sight to achieve this goal. At present, many additives have become commercially available and more new types of additives are arising. Here, we reviewed the developmental history, main types, developmental status and developmental prospects of microbial inoculants for silage, in hoping to provide a theoretical reference for developing new kind of advanced microbial inoculants.

Key words: silage, microbe, additives
