SILAGE CONDITIONER^
MOPRO
100
LIQUID
SILAGE FORTIFIER
A revolutionary new concept in improving
silages. MOPRO Liquid Silage Fortifier is for
mulated to balance the major mineral and
protein deficiencies of silages. MOPRO is addkl
at the time of ensiling and is applied by metering
equipment with very little handling cost.
MOPRO will not corrode mild steel tanks or
brass fittings and has no free ammonia odor to
irritate the eyes or skin. MOPRO is a
homogeneous solution of ammonia salts, urea,
cane molasses, and minerals (except salt and
calcium) in an efficient liquid carrier. It provides
nitrogen for improved fermentation in the
rumen and contains a mineral balance of
phosphorous, magnesium, and trace, elements.
MOPRO 100 gives a resulting silage of approx
imately 14.3% protein.
