SiloSolve MC – bacterial inoculant for Microbial Control

SiloSolve® MC is a silage additive containing three strains of lactic acid bacteria. One strain (L. lactis) is noted for its patented ability to help control undesired microbials such as clostridia. The two additional strains aid in enhancing overall fermentation.

In wet silage, clostridia may grow in the absence of oxygen. Growth of clostridia results in silage with high concentrations of butyrate, acetate, ammonia, and amines along with decreased lactate. Silage with clostridia has a strong odor, elevated pH and usually results in reduced palatability.

Clostridial fermentation will cause higher dry matter and protein losses, and lead to a poor taste and smell of the silage. One way of avoiding clostridial fermentation is to inhibit clostridia organisms that may contaminate the silage.

SiloSolve® MC consistently reduces alcohol and ammonia in silage, thereby improving silage quality. Additionally, SiloSolve® MC consistently increases the lactic to acetic acid ratio, resulting in a better and more effective fermentation of the silage. SiloSolve® MC controls undesirable microbes, improves dry matter content and pH, and improves the organic acid profile resulting in higher quality silage with improved palatability which leads to less feed refusal and an improved return on investment.

Targeted crops include those that are ensiled at high moisture where the risk of clostridial fermentation is high.

Advantages

• Protection against clostridia growth

• Improved dry matter recovery

• Improved fermentation

• Reduced ammonia nitrogen for improved palatability
