Feedtech silage inoculants Reduce shrinkage, preserve more nutrients and cut your feed costs

Feedtech silage inoculants Reduce shrinkage, preserve more nutrients and cut your feed costs

Feedtech silage inoculants Featuring MiLab 393 technology helps prevent potential losses due to forage shrink. Consider it a bonus for you and your cows. A complete range for all crops and conditions Crop type and dry matter concentration determine choice of inoculant. The products with an initial M in their name contain the patented strain MiLAB 393 which produces broad-spectrum antifungal compounds. For the past three years we have used DeLaval Feedtech and are happy with the results. Nearly 70 percent of our milk-cow ration is home-grown haylage, earlage, corn and wheat silage. I consider DeLaval Feedtech to be valuable crop insurance. -Dino Giacomazzi Hanford, California M60 M20XC M25AS

Unique broadspectrum bacteria Without an inoculant, proteins are lost until the ph falls to circa 5.0; however, silage remains unstable until a ph of around 4.0 is reached. Lactobacillus plantarum MiLab 393 is an osmotolerant bacteria patented for its ability to inhibit certain yeasts and molds by producing broad spectrum anti-fungal compounds during fermentation. ph 6.5 WITHOUT INOCULANT Protein losses Major spoilage Safety zone Natural silage bacteria 100% Osmo-tolerance & ph reduction ph 5.0 ph 4.0 Oxygen Days from start of silaging 0% With an inoculant, the ph drops faster which reduces the loss of proteins; the silage also stabilizes at an earlier stage which reduces spoilage. WITH INOCULANT Protein losses Major spoilage Safety zone Silage and inoculants From the minute forage is cut, its nutrient value begins to degrade. The goal is to minimize this degradation and conserve the greatest amount of digestible protein and energy. To do this, oxygen must be eliminated and acidity must increase so lactic acid bacteria can grow, stabilize and pickle the silage. Bacterial inoculants have been shown to improve the growth of lactic acid bacteria. ph 6.5 ph 5.0 ph 4.0 A B Silage inoculants A&B Oxygen Stable Silage Days from start of silaging 100% 0%

Feedtech Silage M25AS Maximum aerobic stability M25AS Whole crop corn silage Medium dry cereals AEROBIC STABILITY Medium to high dry grass/alfalfa Feedtech Silage M25AS is a pre-mixture of lactic acid producing bacteria and Lactobacillus buchneri which improve the fermentation and aerobic stability of silage. Feedtech M25AS can improve the aerobic stability of low dry matter corn and sorghum silages by inhibition of yeast activity. Core benefits Produces high quality silage Improves aerobic stability Increases dry matter retention

Feedtech Silage M60 Maximum fermentation M60 Medium dry grass, alfalfa and combinations ENHANCE FERMENTATION Feedtech Silage M60 is a blend of lactic acid producing bacteria which enhances the fermentation of ensiled crops by ensuring a fast ph drop. This results in reduced dry matter losses. Core benefits Produces high quality silage Improves fermentation Reduces dry matter loss

Feedtech Silage M20XC Minimize clostridia & butyric acid to medium dry grasses and alfalfa M20XC Feedtech Silage M20XC is a pre-mixture of lactic acidproducing bacteria which improves the fermentation and reduction of dry matter losses in silages. The strain of L. lactis used in M20XC is noted for its patented ability to help control undesired micro-organisms such as clostridia. Feedtech M20XC is also available in OMRI approved organic formulation. Core benefits Improves fermentation Controls clostridia Reduces dry matter losses
