Microsile Plus

A bacterial and enzymatic inoculant (silaging agent) containing highly active lactic acid fermentation bacteria and cellulolytic enzymes.

Description

A specialist formulation for silaging green fodder made of grass, Fabaceae (e.g. alfalfa), grass and Fabaceae mixes, pressed beet pulp, and brewers’ grains. It is recommended for material difficult to silage. Cellulolytic enzymes included in the formulation decompose polysaccharides inaccessible to lactic acid fermentation bacteria to simple sugars, from which lactic acid, a natural preservative of green fodder, is produced in anaerobic conditions.

Microsile Plus is also an ideal agent for silaging whole maize plants, moist grain, or cobs with husks or of CCM type.

With the correct silaging technique and dosing, the use of MICROSILE PLUS ensures production of silage of a high nutritional value, of high palatability, and protected against spoilage and growth of harmful Clostridium bacteria.

Bacteria:

  • Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus buchneri
  • Total bacterial count: 1x1011 11 CFU/g

 

Enzymes:

  • 1,3-beta-glucanase 5000 U/g,
  • 1,4-beta-xylanase 40,000 U/g,
  • Cellulase 100 U/g

The dose needs to be determined taking into account the level of silaging difficulty, material quality, and other technological conditions: 250 g/50–75 tonnes of silaged material.

  • Fabaceae (alfalfa, clover): 250 g/50 tonnes.
  • Grasses, grass and Fabaceae mixes: 250 g /75 tonnes
  • Maize - whole plants: 250 g /75 tonnes
  • Maize - wet grain, CCM cobes, cobes with husks: 250g /50 tonnes
  • Sugar beet pulp, brewers' grains: 250 g /50 tonnes

 

Formulation bacterial count per 1 g of silaged material, depending on a dose, amounts to 500–333 thousand CFU (colony forming units ).

To be used as a water solution at a ratio of 250 g/10–50 litres of pure water. The working solution needs to be used within 24 hours. Apply with an applicator or spray manually layers formed on a heap or in a silo. One of the preconditions for effectiveness of bacterial silaging agents is their uniform spreading in the silaged material.
