Silage Preservation – Ensiling CCM/MKS is a carefully formulated complementary feed for cattle, pigs and poultry. It has also been specifically developed to support the preservation of CCM (corn cob mix) and MKS (maize cob silage).

• For a rapid and controlled decrease in pH during the ensiling process
• Improves the taste and digestibility of CCM/MKS silage
• Safe to use

For optimal preservation and taste of silage.

General information

Silage: the basis of many feeding systems

Silage is a widely used form of roughage in modern livestock farming. It consists of fermented grass, maize or other crops that are stored under airtight conditions to preserve the feed for an extended period. Ensiling creates a preservation process in which oxygen is excluded and the product remains stable through natural fermentation. This process requires careful management to maintain quality and nutritional value.

Different types of silage

In practice, a distinction is made between grass and maize silage, as well as specific products such as CCM (corn cob mix) and MKS (maize cob silage). The latter require additional attention during ensiling due to their higher energy value and susceptibility to heating and mould growth. A good result starts with the right harvesting time and the selection of appropriate additives.

Preservation and feed hygiene

To prevent undesirable fermentation, mould growth or heating, silage is often treated with preservatives. These products help achieve stable and palatable silage that can be effectively incorporated into the ration of cattle, goats and other ruminants. It is important that these products can be applied safely and easily mixed during the ensiling process.
