Precision Microbes Silage (10L)

The ensiling of grass is the main method of forage conservation employed in Ireland. This involves a controlled microbial fermentation of your harvested crop. Preserving your silage is largely dependent on the actions of lactic acid forming bacteria (LAB) in an anaerobic environment. Precision Microbes’ silage additive is a ready-to-use means of delivering live
homofermentative LAB species into your silage clamp and bales.

• Liquid Formulation
• Ready-To-Use Product
• Live Bacterial Agents
• Homofermentation Drives A Quick pH Drop
• Apply Using Standard Or Ultra Low Dosing
• Irish Based Biome Company
• Organic Certified
• DAFM Approved

How It Works:

Live Microbial Agents
A high concentration of live bacteria ensures immediate effectiveness, especially in anaerobic conditions like wrapped bales or sealed clamps. These beneficial microbes out-compete harmful bacteria from the start.

Drives A Rapid Decline In pH
Homofermentative LAB quickly convert grass sugars into high levels of lactic acid, dropping pH fast. They’re twice as efficient at using glucose—and six times more efficient with fructose—than heterofermenters*, locking in an efficient and
effective fermentation.

Nutrient Preservation
Homofermenters limit DM losses and protein breakdown associated with poor silage fermentation, preserving silage quantity
and feed value while reducing risk of unpalatability and toxic end products.

Voluntary Dry Matter Intakes
Efficient fermentation improves silage taste, encouraging dry matter intake which reduces feed waste caused by poor-quality, unpalatable silage.

Animal Health Protection
Homofermentative additives reduce pathogens in silage, protecting herd health, especially during pregnancy, finishing and early
lactation. Precision Microbes’ additive supports our mission to enhance farm microbiota.

Animal Performance
Better fermentation = better results. Homofermentative additives have been shown to increase milk yields*, and liveweight gains.*

Environmental Impact/Sustainability
Additives influence an increase in your silage quality and quantity, and therefore promote cost effective homegrown forage use. Healthy cattle fed quality feed produce less methane per kg of output minimising nutrient leaching.*
