1 WET DISTILLERS & SILO GUARD II VAN MAAR FARMS USES SILO GUARD II TO HELP KEEP WET DISTILLERS FRESH AND HELP FROM MOLDING BOTH PICTURES ARE SHOWN APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AFTER THE LOAD WAS DELIVERED Silo-Guard II Liquid was applied on this bunk The following bunk had nothing applied to it Application Method We were not happy with the spoilage we were seeing with the Wet Distillers on our farm. We had used Silo-Guard II on our forages in the past and saw that it helped preserve the forage and keep it cool and fresh. We applied a 20 L jug on a 20 tonne load of Wet Distillers. The load is dumped in the bunk then we sprinkle the Silo-Guard II on the top with a watering can. The bunk is then covered with a plastic tarp, tires and sand bags. It cost about $8 per tonne and helped to keep the Wet Distillers from molding and stayed fresh. Van Maar Farms Goderich, Ontario CONTACT YOUR SILO GUARD II REPRESENTATIVE TODAY FOR MORE INFORMATION!

2 GILTE FARMS INC. HOME OF SUPER-COW GILTE E SMURF WE USE SILO GUARD II TO PRESERVE MORE OF WHAT WE WORKED SO HARD TO PRODUCE. BECAUSE QUALITY SILAGE IS VALUABLE, SILO GUARD II IS A VERY WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT. Gillette Farms Inc. is located in Embrun, Ontario. They have a 450 head milking herd and a total of 1100 animals. They have also had the great achievement of raising and working with the new World Record lifetime milk producer Gillette E Smurf. Mathieu Patenaude of Gillette Farms had some great things to say about Silo Guard II forage additive for Alfalfa, Corn Silages and Baled Hay: At Gillette Farms we pride ourselves in raising cattle that have great conformation so that they are well equipped to have a productive life. But this is only part of the equation. To get great production we need to feed top quality ingredients on a consistent basis. This is why we put a high importance on our silage production. We have found that Silo Guard II is the best product to help us achieve superior silages. With Silo Guard II, the benefits are readily visible. Better preservation of the silage both on top of the bunk and in the mass. Reduced heating at the silage face and at feed out and sweeter smelling silage. Mathieu Patenaude Gillette Farms Inc. Embrun, ON We use Silo Guard II to preserve more of what we worked so hard to produce. Because quality silage is valuable, Silo Guard II is a very worthwhile investment. Try it today!

3 ALLAN MANN OF RIVERBANK MANAGEMENT INC. USES SILO GUARD II ON 1 ST CUT HAY, 2 ND CUT BALAGE & BALED CORN STOVER SEEING THESE RESULTS MAKE YOU A BELIEVER IN THE PRODUCT, I JUST WISH I HAD STARTED APPLYING SILO GUARD II YEARS EARLIER! 2012 was my first season using Silo Guard II; we went with the dry granular formulation with a blower applicator mounted on my round baler. We applied Silo Guard II to dry first cut hay, second cut balage and baled corn stover. The results have been great feed, with no visual signs of moulding or heating in any of the bales made. Seeing these results make you a believer in the product, I just wish I had started applying Silo Guard II years earlier. Prior to using Silo Guard II it was always a struggle to get the hay consistently dry enough to keep properly in my hard core bales. There would always be a bale that was dusty or caramelized from heating. Even the bales made at 9:30 at night, as a challenge for the Silo Guard II, kept fine. The benefits sure outweigh the cost. I now feel confident to go to the field on an overcast day when the hay is just barely ready and the weatherman is calling for rain the next day. The harvest risk due to weather has been reduced. Higher hay moisture content has reduced the leaf loss in the field. The result is higher quality feed with more nutrient content. We plan on starting baling earlier in the day now and will go longer into the evening. This balage was a first for this baler. Among my concerns when baling were whether the bales were tight enough and how variable the moisture content of the second cut was. We ve been feeding the balage with great results, no signs of mould or heating and the cattle love the feed. The corn stover was baled with two different balers; one applying Silo Guard II and one not. The untreated bales heated and moulded in the centres. The treated bales did not heat and blew apart nicely for my beef cows to chew on. This year s supply of Silo Guard II is already on order. Allan Mann Riverbank Management Inc.

4 ARE you feeling Using Liquid Silo Guard II on Dairy Goat Production Josef Durrer and Family Farm Josef Durrer started milking 100 Saanen goats in His farm, located in Notre Dame de Lourdes, is close to Quebec City. Today he milks 270 goats with an average production of 840 L per lactation. Because he lives in a relatively cold area for corn production, Josef has concentrated his efforts on producing high quality hay, dry and wrapped (at around 25 to 30% moisture). He knows that goats like good feed, so he developed his own seed mixtures to achieve high quality hay. This is the only forage the goats eat. They also get a complete feed in the parlour. Replacements kids only get 2nd cut hay. Their development is good and they are kidding around at 12 to 13 months of age. In order to keep the quality of his hay, Josef started using Liquid Silo Guard II in the year 2000, and he has not stopped ever since. Here is his opinion: I use Silo Guard II in my hay, dry and wrapped, because it is a guarantee of keeping its quality. Silo Guard II helps me by obtaining quality hay for my goats, without mould. I believe that I get more milk per goat due to Silo Guard II use. Josef Durrer Nortre Dame De Lourdes, Québec February 10, 2010 today For MORE INFORMATION!

5 ARE you feeling Silo Guard II can help you accomplish these goals! But don t just take our word for it... I used Silo Guard II on my first and second cut hay this year. The hay looks green and smells fresh. There are no signs of mold, dust or heating in the hay, unlike hay from past years. It gives me peace of mind to know that my hay is protected with Silo Guard II. Last year we used Silo Guard II on our haylage. The haylage smelled good and was always fresh coming out of the open top silo. We noticed that the T.M.R. in the cows mangers was always cleaned up. We will continue to use Silo Guard II based on the great results we have seen this year, especially considering the type of weather we had to work with. Geoff Farrell Farritage Farms Kincardine, ON Thomas, Patrick & Geoff Farrell We have been using Silo Guard II for two years now. We like Silo Guard II because it does the job it is supposed to do. It leaves the corn silage feeling cool and smelling fresh. We left our haylage silo sitting uncovered for three weeks to allow it to ferment. When it came time to feed the haylage we noticed very little spoilage and it was cool to the touch and smelled fresh. With the results we have seen, we will definitely keep using Silo Guard II.

6 ARE you feeling silage additive trial: The cooler the better, says Nico looking at his corn silage trial results. Nico knows a cooler fermentation makes for better forage and better forage makes for better production and better cow health.

7 ARE you feeling Silo Guard II can help you accomplish these goals! But don t just take our word for it - here are some examples of what actual Silo Guard II users are saying... We used Silo Guard II because it was so easy to apply. You just fill the liquid applicator and it goes a long way. We have been very pleased with the results. The corn silage isn t hot at all and the haylage has no mould and smells great. The cows just dig in! In the past we have had more than enough quality and mould issues with our silage. This fall we applied Silo Guard II, what amazing feed it has resulted in! No mould, no heating, just sweet feed. It made my decision to use Silo Guard II again easy! - Jan Prehn Prehnbrook Farms Our family has been using Silo Guard II for over 25 years. I like the fact that it speeds up the fermentation without sacrificing the sugars. The haylage comes out smelling so sweet. And I can put it up at a little higher moisture without worries. I will definitely continue to use Silo Guard II on my haylage, baled hay, silage and oatlage. Our cows, replacement heifers and group of test bulls are truly loving it, we are amazed at what Silo Guard II has done for my silage, guaranteed we will be applying it again! - Pete Neal Andemar Charolais As a custom baler I like using Silo Guard II, it gives me the ability to start earlier in the day and work later to finish the field even at a little bit higher moisture. And the cows go crazy for the hay, it s just like candy! At the end of the day it s the service behind the product that counts most for me and I know I am dealing with the best in the business! - Doug Lightfoot Custom Baler - Dave Willemse Willacre Farms November,2009 today for more information!
