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 optimise digestibility of the plant and starch content.
Suitable products for whole crop treatment depend on the harvested dry mater.
Ultra-Cool is a unique combination of Heterofermentative bacteria, designed to dominate the natural bacteria present in the forage.
Heterofermentative bacteria produce stable acids and metabolites with a broad spectrum of activity against moulds and yeasts. If these yeasts and moulds are not controlled, then they can lead to considerable spoilage and loss of nutrients. The rapid drop in pH restricts the growth of detrimental bacteria.
Lactobacillus Casei: helps to create anaerobic condition in the early stages of fermentation. This will enhance the growth of efficient strains to the detriment of undesirable organisms (yeast, mould, enterobacteria, clostridium bacteria). They are also super-efficient at converting sugars to lactic acid with minimum losses. It also produces bacteriocin as part of side chain reactions.
Lactobacillus buchneri: produces volatile acids plus bacteriocins which have specific anti-microbial properties restricting the growth of yeasts (which cause heating), moulds (which can produce toxins) and against enterobacteria and clostridium bacteria (which waste sugars and protein) and are therefore excellent for improving aerobic stability in clamp and feed out.
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.
