Product profile
Ensiling is a natural fermentation process. Naturally occurring bacteria in the forage produce lactic acid preserving the valuable nutrients in the silage.
The indigenous bacteria are not always the most efficient - and often they are not present in sufficiently high numbers to ensure good fermentation. This is why a silage inoculant containing lactic acid bacteria can help optimize the process.
Biomax results in economic benefits for producers
Chr. Hansen's silage inoculants provide efficient means for safeguarding the nutritional value of silage. Biomax products contain specifically selected strains of naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria that rapidly and efficiently preserve the nutrients in silage.
This means lower losses and more nutrients in the silage, resulting in improvements in intake, live weight gain and milk production.
It all starts with good silage management
To maximize the amount of nutrients preserved in the forage crops, the ensiling process requires four basic elements:
- Proper moisture
- Sufficient plant sugars
- Quick establishment of anaerobic conditions
- Adequate numbers and types of bacteria
