Range of silage inoculants specifically formulated to produce the best results in silages made from grass, corn and cereal forages.

  • Improve silage quality
  • Increase digestible NDF and crude protein
  • Reduce dry matter loss, minimizing nutrient loss
  • Improve aerobic stability so less heating
  • Inhibit mold formation reducing the risk of mycotoxins
  • Easy to mix and apply

ES Advance crop-specific forage inoculants are suitable for use on crops grown for livestock feeds and anaerobic digestion.

The Challenge

Ensiling is the most efficient and cost effective manner to preserve the growing forage and feed animals all year around. Achieving effective fermentation is utmost importance in producing high-quality silage. Lowering pH as quickly as possible is key to maintain nutrient value as well as create less favorable conditions for undesired microorganisms. To maintain the aerobic stability in silage is critical as yeasts and molds are major factors for aerobic deterioration.

The Solution

Role of enzymes

Enzymes unlock the energy from plant lignins and significantly increase the digestibilty of treated forages. We include our own crop-specific cocktail of enzymes to suit the type of plant fiber you are ensiling.

Role of lactic acid

Lactic acid bacteria reduce nutrient loss in forage by rapidly dropping the pH. Our own unique blend of bacteria in ES Advance optimizes the speed at which pH drops after ensiling.

Role of acetic acid

Our Lactobacillus brevis produces acetic acid which slows the growth of spoilage organisms (yeasts and molds) in silage and TMR. Treated silage is more stable and consistent.

Role of microbial stimulants

The bacteria in ES Advance inoculants are in a dormant state and need activiting when applied to forage. Our specific stimulants do this and provide a boost to the inoculants.
