This study aimed to investigate the effect of dominant endogenous lactic acid bacteria isolated from natural Cyperus esculentus stems and leaves silage on the quality of the silage and to provide a basis for improving the quality of Cyperus esculentus stems and leaves silage in South Xinjiang. Five treatment groups were established in this experiment: CK (control group), PA (adding 5 × 107 CFU/g FM Enterococcus faecium), EF (adding 5 × 107 CFU/g FM Pediococcus lactis), LP (adding 5 × 107 CFU/g FM Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Lactobacillus plantarumas), and PE (adding 5 × 107 CFU/g FM Pediococcus lactis+Enterococcus faecium,1:1). Each treatment was performed in three replicates. After 60 days of fermentation, sensory evaluation was performed to detect nutritional components, fermentation indicators, microbial content, and aerobic stability time. At 3d, 7d, 15d, 30d and 60d of fermentation, the water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) content in PE group was significantly higher than that in CK group. The pH value and ammonia nitrogen content (NH3-N) of all treatment groups were significantly lower than those of the CK group at 3d, 7d, 15d, 30d and 60d of fermentation. The number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the PE, PA, and EF groups was significantly higher than that in the CK group (P
