The effect of probiotic-enzymatic additives and probiotic additives on the ensiled alfalfa wilted at two levels of dry matter and harvested at the second and the third cut, was studied. The silages from the second cut of alfalfa with dry matter of 36-39 % were of a higher quality than silages with higher dry matter content (58-59 %). The silages from the third cut of alfalfa with dry matter content of 31-35 % were of a higher quality than those of the second cut with dry matter content of 36-39 %. Each of the varieties of silages was preserved either with the enzyme-inoculant mixture additive, with its inoculant component and without them. The best results were observed with the silages treated with the enzyme-inoculant mixture additive. The control without any additives was the worst. The treated silages were significantly (P 0.05) better than untreated ones in proteolysis degree 12.3 vs. 13.9 %, pH 4.33-4.35 vs. 4.55, content of lactic acid 66.2-66.3 vs. 59.3 g.kg-1 DM, content of acetic acid 39.9-38.8 vs. 58.8 g.kg-1 DM, and butyric acid 0.29 vs. 0.33 g.kg-1 DM.
