This study evaluated the effect of three isolated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculants on the ensiling characteristics, aerobic stability and in vitro digestibility of low dry matter whole-crop oat silages (WCOS). The oats were harvested at two stages of maturity, boot and filling stages, and then inoculated with 1 × 106 cfu/g fresh material of Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LR) and Lactobacillus buchneri (LB). After 45 days of ensiling, the three LAB inoculants increased lactic acid (LA) concentrations (p
