  • Mix before use.
  • For ensiling: Make a 20% solution (e.g. 1 liter of Silage Preservation – Ensiling Top Layer and Cutting Surfaces in 4 liters of water) and divide the amount of this solution below into the product to be ensiled.
  • Grass: 3-4 liters*/ton DM.
  • Corn: 2-3 liters*/ton DM.
  • CCM/MKS: 4 litres*/ton DS.
  • *Depending on silage quality and weather conditions.
  • To treat cutting surfaces and top layer: Make a 10% solution (e.g. 1 liter of Silage Preservation – Ensiling Top Layer and Cutting Surfaces in 9 liters of water). Spread this solution evenly over the pit surface: 1 liter per m2 depending on the pit quality and weather conditions.
  • When used in the mixer wagon: Make a 10% solution (e.g. 1 liter Silage Preservation – Ensile Top Layer and Cutting Surfaces in 9 liters of water). Distribute 2 liters/ton of product to be fed into the mixer wagon.
  • Grass and corn are essential components of an effective ration for livestock farmers. In addition to the importance of soil quality and crop quality, the preservation of roughage is crucial. Correct ensiling of grass and corn forms the basis for efficient production. Various problems can occur during the ensiling process, such as uneven dryness, air entrapment, excessive humidity and excessive temperatures. These problems lead to loss of nutritional value and a decrease in productivity. That is why a good ensiling method, including a rapid pH drop, is essential. In addition, mold and overheating pose a constant threat to silage quality.
    Silage Preservation – Ensile Top Layer and Cutting Surfaces is a liquid silage agent that contains acids to promote a rapid pH drop in the silage. The product is safe to use and has preservative properties that maintain the quality of the roughage. It also contains aromatic additives that improve the palatability of the food. This product has versatile applications: it can be used during ensiling with a turnip wagon or chopper, via a silage spreader or sprayer, or in the mixer wagon during ensiling. It is particularly effective for treating the top layer and cutting surfaces of the silage.
  • Even distribution is essential for optimal performance.
  • Silage Preservation – Ensiling Top Layer and Cutting Surfaces is easily biodegradable.
  • Store between 5 – 30 °C.
  • The supplied animal feed complies with the conditions of GMP+BCN-NL01 Antibiotic-free animal feed.
  • Additives: Silage additives: Propionic acid (1k280) 40%, Formic acid (1k236) 17%. Preservatives: Acetic acid (E260) 2%. Binder: sodium lignosulfonate (E565) 38%. Aromatic substances: mixture of aromatic substances.

    • Safe to use

    For optimal preservation and taste of silage.


    General information

    Top layer and cutting face: critical areas in the silage

    During ensiling, the top layer and cutting faces are often exposed to an increased risk of oxygen ingress. These areas are particularly susceptible to heating, mould growth and feed losses. Especially during warm or humid periods, undesirable processes can develop rapidly. This makes a targeted approach important to keep the silage palatable and suitable for feeding.

    Preservation as part of the strategy

    Proper silage preservation not only reduces the risk of spoilage but also contributes to more consistent feed quality. The use of additives specifically aimed at the top layer and cutting faces makes it possible to protect these vulnerable areas against external influences. It is important that the product can be applied safely and fits into everyday farming practices.
