Plusbac Silage
Plusbac Silage is a natural, highly effective microbial fermentation, with probiotic qualities. Plusbac Silage can help the rumen by increasing beneficial microorganisms in the saliva and gut, which in turn maintains wellbeing, general health and condition. The rapid formation of lactic acid brings down the pH value quickly to its optimal level and because the product is heterofermentative and produces several positive or healthy fermentation acids, the improvement in aerobic stability works against secondary fermentation. The result is a product that is appetising, high in energy and nutrients and helps maintain a healthy condition in livestock. Silage also helps bind ammonia and nutrients in slurry, liquid manure or solid manure
Baled silages are usually made of higher DM, longer chop forage so fermentation is slower and the final pH higher. Bales are also more prone to aerobic spoilage due to their high surface area to volume ratio and reduced density, even when chopped
The microorganisms are generally inactive at rest and so can be stored in the right conditions for a significant period of time.
Application – We suggest 400 litres of Plusbac Silage (Diluted with 4000 litres of Water so ratio of 10/1 – 10 litre water/1 litre Plusbac Silage). to 1000 tonnes of cut Silage.
The best method according to farmers is to spray the silage as collecting into the trailer – it is best to have the automated spray mechanism attached to the back of the tractor which will accurately spray the correct amounts.
For best results all sprayed silage should be stored anaerobically (covered without access to oxygen) in clamps – Feed to cows chopped
