Huge a lot of vegetables and fruits are discarded from supermarket and import warehouse everyday in Osaka. They could be use for cattle feed, because the quality is still high. To select appropriate ferments, 3 different ones (Lactobacillus plantarum, Enterococcus faecium Lactobacillus acidophilus) were used. They were mixed in discarded vegetable or banana, with hey, grains, and bran mixture. After packing in nylone bag they were preserved for 40 days. Each bag was analyzed organic acids component by post-label LC method at Day20 and Day40 after packing. Lactobacillus plantarum was selected as an appropriate starter for the silages, because it produced high concentration of lactic acid and low concentration of acetic acid or the other acids.
