The microbiota and fermentation quality of cassava foliage (CF) ensiled in the absence of additive (CK), or the presence of citric acid (CA), malic acid (MA), and their combination with a  Lactobacillus plantarum  strain (CAL and MAL)were investigated. These additives reduced ( P  < 0.05) the pH, butyric acid, and ammonia-N contents but increased ( P  < 0.05) the lactic acid content, and CAL and MAL showed similar remarkable effects.  Paenibacillus  (mean, 27.81%) and  Bacillus  (mean, 16.04%) were the predominant strains in CF silage. The addition of CA or MAL increased the abundance of  Paenibacillus  (25.81–52.28% and 47.97%, respectively), and the addition of MA increased the abundance of  Bacillus  (15.76–32.48%) compared with the CK group. Moreover, CAL and MAL increased the abundances of the potentially desirable bacteria  Cellulosimicrobium  (CAL 0–12.73%),  Hyphomicrobium  (0–7.90% and 8.94%), and  Oceanobacillus  (0–8.37% and 3.08%) compared with the CK group. These findings suggested that CA and MA could enhance the silage quality of CF, and their combinations with  Lactobacillus plantarum  were more effective.
