High quality forage

Silage  

High-quality forage is a prerequisite for a profitable animal husbandry. Applying effective microorganisms to silage reduces pathogenic bacteria, harmful moulds and fungal development. Effective microorganisms work to improve aerobic stability and so secondary fermentation is prevented. Substances are produced by in the processes promoted by effective microorganisms that inhibit heating in the silage.

Effective microorganisms help release antioxidants and vitamins meaning the final silage is nutrient rich and high in energy. They also act as a preservative enabling silage to be stored for longer periods. Lactic acid bacteria which is one of the members of effective microorganisms, ferment sugars into lactic acid causing the pH to reduce to an optimal level which results in a more stable, less perishable silage. 

The benefits of using effective microorganisms on your silage include:

  • Increased rate of fermentation of grass for use in silage

  • Significantly reduced fungal infection and lower mycotoxin levels

  • Decreased dust formation

  • Suitable for hay allergic animals

  • Increased durability of silage

The benefits for animals:

  • Animal feed performance is increased and high levels of essential fatty acids are formed

  • Increased appetite

  • Reduced mycotoxin content of feed which relieves the metabolism of animals

  • Increased milk yield

  • Odour palatability of the silage will change to a more appealing taste

  • Improved health and fertility
