Silage Inoculants by Lallemand Animal Nutrition: an independent product guide from the Therio Dairy Directory. Compare features, pricing, and alternatives...
Silage inoculants contain selected bacterial strains that dominate the fermentation process, producing more efficient acidification and better preservation. Different products target fermentation improvement, aerobic stability, or both.
Homofermentative strains produce primarily lactic acid for rapid pH decline. Heterofermentative strains (like L. buchneri) also produce acetic acid for improved aerobic stability at feedout.
Application is at the chopper or blower, ensuring even distribution on the forage. Proper inoculant selection depends on forage type, moisture content, and storage conditions.
