Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Silage inoculants are additives containing anaerobic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that are used to manipulate and enhance fermentation in haylage (alfalfa, grass, cereal) and corn silage. A more efficient fermentation is the desired result.
Silage inoculants consist of bacteria which are used to dominate the fermentation of the silage and further aid in better crop preservation. A good silage inoculant helps in faster and more efficient fermentation. It further results in less energy and dry matter loss and better animal performance. Inoculants can decrease the silage shrink, increase silage quality, and result in the enhancement in the efficiency of milk or meat production.
Enzymes are a cost effective supplement to be considered when used in combination with a quality silage inoculant. Enzymes help insure the lactic acid bacteria responsible for pH drop, have an adequate supply of sugars plus enzymes may help improve subsequent fiber digestion at feed out.
