Ensiling technology holds promise for preserving and providing high-quality forage. However, the preservation of rice straw poses challenges due to its high lignocellulosic content and low water-soluble carbohydrate levels. Developing highly effective lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for rice straw silage remains a priority. This study evaluated the impact of three LAB strains, Lactobacillus brevis R33 (Lac33), L. buchneri R17 (Lac17), and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (Leu), on the fermentation quality of rice straw silage. Rice straw silage inoculated with Lac33 alone or in combination with other strains exhibited significantly lower neutral detergent fiber (NDF) (66.5% vs. 72.3%) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) (42.1% vs. 47%) contents, along with higher lactic acid (19.4 g/kg vs. not detected) and propionic acid (2.09 g/kg vs. 1.54 g/kg) contents compared to control silage. Bacterial community analysis revealed Lactobacillus dominance (> 80%) and
