Maize silage

Home Up About Britmilk Contact Britmilk Britmilk Products

 
Maize silage is very prone to heating due to high levels of soluble sugars, which are used by undesirable organisms when exposed to air. Try to achieve a dry matter of 30% to optimize digestibility of the plant and starch content.
Suitable products for whole crop treatment depend on the harvested dry matter.

Ultra-Cool
 

Ultra-Cool unique combination of Heterofermentative bacteria and Bacillus spp., supplying 1 X 106 cfu per gram of treated forage ( 1 million cfu/gram)

Heterofermentative bacteria produce stable acids and metabolytes with a  broad spectrum of activity against moulds and yeasts. If not controlled these can lead to considerable spoilage and loss of nutrients. The rapid drop in pH restricts the growth of detrimental bacteria. Bacteriocins are also produced which are capable of killing many undesirable organisms that are responsible for spoilage. The presence of Bacillus spp. enhances fibre digestion via the production of digestive enzymes.

The hydrolytic enzyme system in Ultra-Cool is designed to breakdown fibre and produce a more open structure to enhance digestion by the rumen microbes.The inclusion of Bacillus spp has the added benefit of continuing to produce digestive enzymes in the rumen when fed. This increases the utilization of the  cellulytic components of the whole crop.

BENEFITS

bullet

Delayed heating at feed out.

bullet

Favours an efficient fermentation by  killing out undesirable organisms and therefore reducing dry matter loss 

bullet

Improves fibre digestion by the action of the enzymes within the clamp.

bullet

Reduces the production of mycotoxins which can restrict intake and lead to health problems.

bullet

Improved rumen digestion by action of digestive enzymes produced by bacillus spp.

Cool-Store XL for Maize Silage

Maize silage is very prone to heating due to high levels of soluble sugar, which are used by undesirable organisms when exposed to air. Try to achieve dry matters in 25%-35% range to optimize digestibility of the plant and starch content. 

Cool-Store XL contains a unique blend of non corrosive preservative salts used widely in the food industry. These salts are proven to reduce the growth of yeasts and moulds which can cause loss of nutrients and produce mycotoxins which are detrimental to intake and performance Once the clamp is opened yeasts and moulds produce heat indicating further breakdown of nutrients leading to further loss in performance. Cool-Store XL can reduce these nutrient losses and extend the non-heating life of the opened silage.

he unique enzymes contained in Cool-Store XL increase the available sugars for bacteria during fermentation and open up the fibre structure to help improve digestion by rumen microbes.  

 

                                                                  

Cool-Store XL contains Multiple strains of Bacteria including Lactococcus Faecium, Pediococcus spp, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Streptococcus Lactis and Bacillus spp. These bacteria are multi action; rapidly dropping the pH restricting growth of detrimental bacteria. Some produce bacteriocins which are capable of killing many of the undesirable organisms that can cause spoilage. The Bacillus spp. also produce digestive enzymes in the rumen once the silage is eaten improving fibre digestion thus increasing the potential performance from the silage

Double FF

Double FF is a proven blend of active ingredients Ammonium Formate Volatile fatty acids (VFA's) and acrylic acids. The combination of these ingredients has the effect of;       

bullet

Lowering ph making the conditions unsuitable for undesirable organisms (which waste important nutrients)                

bullet

This lowering of pH makes conditions suitable for beneficial bacteria.                                                                       

bullet

Ammonium Formate can control clostridial bacteria that waste sugar and protein                                                     

bullet

VFA's control yeasts and moulds                                                                                       

bullet

VFA's are nutritionally beneficial as they are produced naturally in the rumen                                                               

bullet

Acetic acid has very good preservation properties.

Clamp Top salts

Top-sile

A unique blend of sulphites and food salts.

Prevents the growth of yeasts and molds on the top of silage clamps especially on the ramp and shoulders hence reducing the waste. Top-Sile also uses up the oxygen under the sheet encouraging the growth of good lactic bacteria.
