Farm Silage

Pricing is subject to GST

Farmsilage is a powerful facultative application for your bales and silage with over 28 different species of lactobacillus. This guarantees a proper fermention avoiding stuck fermentation that can cause costly spoilage to your feed that can directly affect your cattle.

Farmsilage promotes the correct balance between the lactic acid necessary to rapid pH reduction, the dry matter, and the stability of the quality in the silage once exposed to post-fermentation aerobic conditions.

FarmSilage contributes to a faster fermentation that leads to a better nutritional quality of the silo and behavior against oxygen once the silo begins to use.

If FarmSilage is applied and mixed while the machine is chopping the silage, it will require 1 liter per ton.
If FarmSilage is applied while the silobag is being filled, you will require 1.5Litres per ton.
If FarmSilage is applied in an open pit, you will require 2+ liters per ton or 4+ liters per square meter when FarmSilage is spread only in the top surface of the silage pit.

Ether mix with water at 10 liters per acer with 50 mesh screen or can add to your pivot

*1000 litre-totes holding up to 950 litres of Farment. The residual liquid is excellent for the inoculation of your compost.

Silage is forage, preserved in succulent conditions by partial fermentation in a tight container (Martin et al., 1976). Walton (1983) says that it is feed preserved by the acid-producing action of fermentation. Cullison and Lowry (1987) indicate that silage is a feed resulting from the storage and fermentation of green or wet crops under anaerobic conditions.

In chemistry, silage is the anaerobic fermentation of soluble carbohydrates present in forages producing lactic acid. Lactic acid is created when the sugars in the forage plants are fermented by bacteria in a sealed container (‘silo’) with no air.

Essentially, silage is the form that cattle ranchers have to storage their forage for the arrival of the hard season. This process allows the increase of the number of animals per hectare and replaces or complement concentrated foods.

In chemistry, silage is the anaerobic fermentation of soluble carbohydrates present in forages producing lactic acid. Lactic acid is created when the sugars in the forage plants are fermented by bacteria in a sealed container (‘silo’) with no air. The essential words are preservation, anaerobic, fermentation, carbohydrates, and lactic acid.

Its quality is affected by the chemical composition of the ensiled substance, the weather, and the microorganisms used, among other factors.

Within the silage process, we must pay special attention and understand what happens once the forage is chopped and compacted in the bridging or bagging silos: Inside the silos, we are generating a chemical and biological process that occurs in anaerobiosis. For that to be carried out correctly, the plant tissues must have enough fermentable sugars. This process gives off organic acids responsible for conserving the forage until the moment of its use, always and when the absence of oxygen is maintained.

This is a natural process, and a practical way to measure it is by determining pH. This parameter is an indicator of the correct or incorrect conservation of the silage. Good silage should achieve a pH of 3.8 to 4.2 in the first 48 hours after the silo is closed.
This process can be achieved only by using a biological inoculant such as FarmSillage, which provides the amount of metabolically active bacteria required at the beginning of the process.
