Why Beacon Keep Sweet Will Save Money In Preserving Grass Silage And Provide A Nutritious, Low Cost Winter Feed BEACON KEEP SWEET: 1. Markedly reduces seepage losses which in. high moisture silage can amount to 15% of the total dry matter ensiled. 2. Molasses content makes readily available, fer mentable sugars to assure an adequate and rapid pro duction of desirable lactic acid. 3. Added to the fresh forage increases the dry mat ter percentage of the silage. The result is a higher energy, more palatable feed 4 Increases the energy content of each pound of silage Gram feeding can be reduced by one pound per cow daily when feeding 40 pounds of silage. 5 Minimizes offensive silage odors because of the improved preservation process. What about the advantages of Keep Sweet versus a straight grain product such as hominy or ground corn cobs? 1 Keep Sweet contains molasses which helps step up the rate of lactic acid production The faster the lactic acid is produced, the time is decreased for put refactive bacteria to function 2 Citrus pulp, which is one of the major consti tuents of Keep Sweet, has a water holding capacity several times greater than a straight grain product such as hominy oi ground coin cobs 3 It requires less pounds of Keep Sweet added per ton of fresh forage to get the job done Where we would recommend 150 pounds of Keep Sweet per ton of forage, it would be necessary to use 200 pounds of hominy Keep Sweet is actually selling close to hom iny If ■s ou are m doubt about what preservative to use with your grass silage nve longer, eliminate the mental stress order Beacon Keep Sweet today Hie Beacon Milling Company A Division of Spencer Kellogg & Sons, Inc.
