abstract = {The efficient valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass from soybean straw into high-quality silage remains a pressing challenge for sustainable livestock production. This study employed a 3×3 factorial design to systematically investigate the interactive effects between wheat bran additions (0%, 10%, 20% of fresh weight) and microbial inoculant regimes (control, Effective Microorganisms, EM+Trichoderma longibrachiatum) on soybean straw silage quality. Two-way ANOVA revealed significant main effects and interactions between these factors across multiple quality parameters, providing novel insights into their mechanistic relationships. The strategic combination of these additives significantly enhanced silage quality, with crude protein content increasing by up to 12% (reaching 18.52% in optimal treatments), fiber fractions decreasing significantly (NDF reduced by 8.7%), and pH declining from 5.44 to 4.43, thereby elevating relative feed value by 16 points (P},
