Summary   Neolamarckia cadamba  is not only a fodder of high nutritional value, but also a source of natural antimicrobial agent. The silage quality of high moisture alfalfa and stylo with or without  N. cadamba  leaves (NCL) was investigated, and microbial community after ensiling was analysed. Results showed that the silage samples with NCL have lower pH (4.32 versus 4.88, 4.26 versus 4.71 in alfalfa and stylo silage, respectively), ammonia‐N content (67.5 versus 146, 42.2 versus 95.1 g kg −1  total N) and higher lactic acid (13.3 versus 10.4, 17.3 versus 13.6 g kg −1  dry matter), true protein N (592 versus 287, 815 versus 589 g kg −1  total N). The addition of NCL also influenced the bacterial community distribution. The relative abundance of  Clostridium  and  Enterobacter  decreased, whereas  Lactobacillus  abundance increased when NCL was added. In conclusion, NCL could inhibit undesirable microorganisms in high moisture alfalfa and stylo silage. Mixing with NCL could be a feasible way to improve the quality of silage.
