Sila-Max silage conditioners work by feeding L-form Lactic Acid producing bacteria. The bacteria quickly reproduce and ferment silage packs with a sweet non-toxic fatty acid. This fatty acid also partially digests the silage, making the nutrients more readily available to the animal. The end product, being sweet, is desirable to the animal – usually causing them to lick the bunk clean!
Also, L-Form Lactic Acid is compatible with the animal’s rumen. It causes no digestive upsets and is quickly and naturally turned into propionic acid, further helping the digestive system.
The Sila-Max fermentation process is quick and efficient and changes heat producing trapped oxygen into a non-volatile gas. This keeps the silage pack cool and greatly reduces shrinkage. Sila-Max silages can safely be fed 24 hours after being treated!
ADVANTAGES
When properly applied, Sila-Max silage conditioner is 99.99% effective.
1. Sila-Max allows you to chop silages at higher moisture levels, which makes feeds more palatable.
2. Sila-Max lowers the temperature of the silage pack, resulting in:
A. Keeping sugars less complex and more available.
B. Reducing spoilage and pack shrinkage.
3. The Sila-Max fermentation is sweet, preventing physical problems caused by breathing less desirable fermentation odors such as ammonia or alcohol.
4. Sila-Max silages can sit in the feed bunk on 100 degree days without becoming rancid.
5. Sila-Max’s fermentation process converts nitrates into protein– eliminating nitrate poisoning!
Simply put: Cattle love Sila-Max conditioned silages and it shows in their weight gain!
