- Intervention effect Alfalfa silage with 0.05% HA had 85.8% more β-carotene than fresh material.
- Intervention effect Alfalfa silage with 0.1% HA had 159% more β-carotene than fresh material.
- Intervention effect Higher HA levels gave superior effects over lower supplementation levels.

- Association Regression associated L. kullabergensis, L. apis and L. saniviri positively with β-carotene.
- Association Regression associated L. senioris positively with β-carotene.
- Association Regression associated peroxidase, phytoene desaturase and lycopene β-cyclase positively with β-carotene.
- Association L. rennini and L. brevis were negatively associated with β-carotene.
- Association The positive bacterial and enzyme associations contributed more to β-carotene increase than L. rennini and L. brevis.
