The quality of silage is uneven, which is due to the difference of epiphytic microorganisms of raw materials. To improve the quality of fermentation, the quantity and composition of epiphytic microorganisms are usually analyzed to better prepare silage. In this research, plate coating method and 16S high-throughput sequencing were used to analyze the differences in the quantity and composition of rice epiphytic microorganisms during different growth stages. The Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and aerobic bacteria were the highest at the flowering stage, the yeast was the highest at the milk ripening stage, and the mould was the highest at the full ripening stage. And the growth stage also had a great influence on the composition of epiphytic bacterial community, at the phylum level, it was mainly composed of Proteobacteria. And at the genus level,
