Forage Additives
We have long recognised that well-made silage and efficient forage preservation are crucial to keeping livestock fed during winter and we are convinced that superior quality silage can make a significant difference to a farm’s overall efficiency and profitability.
Maintaining the nutritional quality of silage across a range of forage crops is vital, so we manufacture high-quality silage additives — the market-leading EcosylTM silage inoculants — to the highest specifications at our cutting-edge research facility in Port Talbot, South Wales.
They contain a specially-selected bacterium, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain MTD/1, which is extremely effective at controlling fermentation and preserving the nutritional quality of silage, either as clamps or big bales. It can not only reduce silage losses, but independent studies have shown that it also improves milk yield.
Volac has helped to transform silage-making in other ways too.
We want every farmer to get the most from their silage, so best-practice advice and resources can be accessed from our product site and our educational Cut To Clamp platform.
