Reduce Silage Fermentation Losses With
Silage FermentatKHi The Price You Pay
University research has shown that even with good silage, including the normally easy-to-ensile
corn silage, losses in dry matter and energy will occur.
REMEMBER The Faster The pH Is Dropped, The Lower the Heat In The Silo, Minimizing Energy
And Dry Matter Loss!!
LACTIC ACID BACTERIA (LABs) produce lactic acid by fermenting plant sugars. Researchers
have shown that inoculants must provide 100,000 colony-forming units (CFU) of LABs per gram of
silage to enhance fermentation.
ENZYMES break down complex carbohydrates in the forage to simple sugars. The availability and
the abundance of these sugars determine how fast the LABs produce lactic acid, which lowers the
pH.
The ingredients in Early Sile™ result in a rapid pH drop.
Both BarlySile™ forms contain the following active ingredients:
SEVERAL DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARBOHYDRATE-ACTIVE ENZYMES break down complex
carbohydrates to simple sugars, providing food for the lactic-acid bacteria.
TWO FERMENTABLE SUGARS provide a ready source of sugars fro crops containing low
carbohydrate levels.
LACTIC ACID BACTERIA insure a proper amount of silage specific bacteria. Early Sile™ adds
100,000 live bacteria per gram of silage. These bacteria are selected from strains that occur in
silage, not dairy products.
PROPIONIC ACID BACTERIA are added to help control mold production.
MINERALS are necessary for rapid bacteria growth and maximum acid production.
SPECIAL CARRIERS protect the stability and viability .of both enzymes and lacits. The granular
mix assures good flow and easy application, with no dust. The water-soluble mix dispenses rapidly,
with no lumps to plug nozzles.
Jong with TOP SILAGE MANAGEMENT, the level of success you achieve this
ilage treatment depends on thorough and consistent application through your silage. If
issible, apply EARLY SILE ™ using a calibrated applicator, mounted on the chopper'
>wer.
