BONSILAGE SILAGE INOCULANTS

Transcription

1 BONSILAGE SILAGE INOCULANTS MEASURABLY IMPROVED FEED QUALITY. BONSILAGE products produce premium forage that meets the health and nutritional needs of livestock.

2 BONSILAGE INOCULANTS ARE MADE WITH HIGH-QUALITY, UNIQUE BACTERIA THAT HAVE BEEN TESTED THROUGH ON-FARM RESEARCH AND FEEDING TRIALS.

3 TOP FIVE REASONS TO USE BONSILAGE: 1. BONSILAGE has a unique range of registered bacteria strains that make up seven exceptional silage inoculants for all forage types. Bacteria strains include: Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactococcus lactis. 2. A broad range of bacteria strains help solve multiple challenges specific to producers operations, including: Increases dry matter recovery. Inhibits yeasts and molds that cause reheating and spoilage. Increases protein availability to the animal. Improves animal feed intake during critical times. Produces propylene glycol, which is used as an energy source to increase metabolic efficiency and reduce the risk of ketosis. 3. The BONSILAGE product line covers a wide range of crops, including corn, sorghum, small grain, alfalfa and more. 4. BONSILAGE products have been extensively tested through 10 years of research and development, as well as independent on-farm research trials. 5. BONSILAGE provides valuable on-farm customer service and support. The salesperson was so positive about the product. He tested it on a crop, and 40 or 50 days later, compared it with the product I had been using. I saw almost no spoilage! I now use it on all of my crops. It is the best silage inoculant I have ever used. Don Antal, Melrose, Wisconsin Ensures a reliable fermentation.

4 ABOUT PROVITA SUPPLEMENTS Provita Supplements is part of a family-owned group of companies that have been committed to providing quality products to the agriculture industry since the 1930s. This group is known for its extensive and cutting-edge research and development facilities, including a working farm for research and feeding trials. This ensures that quality control and the success of each product line are backed by scientific data and research. We are proud to be the only company that sells and distributes BONSILAGE, a line of innovative silage products, in the United States. BONSILAGE was developed in 2000 by Lactosan, part of the same group of companies as Provita Supplements. Lactosan is a leader in the scientific selection and production of lactic acid bacteria for silage and probiotics in animal feed, and created BONSILAGE using a unique, specifically selected lactic acid bacteria. Lactosan has more than 20 years experience in the field of silage inoculants, and is Europe s leading manufacturer of products based on viable lactic acid bacteria. Lactosan has one of the most diverse libraries of bacteria strains and an extensive database that is used to create high-quality products for all crops. Provita Supplements access to these highly sought-after bacteria, coupled with extensive on-farm research and feeding trials, results in superior forage quality and feeding value.

5 PREMIUM INOCULANTS FOR ALL CROP TYPES CORN & SORGHUM SILAGE PRODUCTS

6 FOR STABLE, HIGHLY DIGESTIBLE CORN OR SORGHUM SILAGE. BONSILAGE CORN+ IMPROVES THE DIGESTIBILITY AND ENERGY DENSITY OF THE FORAGE. A reliable fermentation process for whole plant corn and sorghum silages. After a rapid ph drop, the inoculant leads to a controlled acetic acid formation to stabilize the silage. Using BONSILAGE CORN will help reduce total dry matter losses. BONSILAGE CORN conserves valuable fermentable carbohydrates and helps to maintain a high nutritional value of the ensiled forage. Our premium inoculant BONSILAGE CORN+ is recommended for a reliable fermentation process in whole plant corn and sorghum silages. After rapid ph drop, the high number of Lactobacillus buchneri bacteria ensures a controlled acetic acid formation and provides a maximum level of protection against reheating. Significant amounts of propylene glycol are released, which can improve animal health by helping to prevent ketosis and acidosis. BONSILAGE CORN+ is a premium treatment for corn or sorghum silage, creating a highly digestible feed source for animals. CORN AND SORGHUM SILAGE PRODUCTS CORN AND SORGHUM SILAGE PRODUCTS

7 AN EFFICIENT ADDITIVE DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR HIGH-MOISTURE CORN. Through a special combination of lactic acid bacteria, a distinctive fermentation pattern is created for high-moisture corn. The homofermentative bacteria rapidly form lactic acid to quickly drop the ph level. After the ph drop, a controlled acetic acid formation stabilizes high moisture corn and provides protection against reheating. Lactobacillus buchneri bacteria produce the ideal quality of acetic acid to suppress the growth of yeast and mold, with lasting effect. Lactobacillus buchneri bacteria increase digestibility and produce propylene glycol. BONSILAGE HMC is created specifically for ensiling high-moisture corn.

8 THE PROPER PROTECTION FOR ALFALFA. FOR WET AND HARD-TO-ENSILE SILAGE. Lactobacillus plantarum bacteria split fructans and thus lower ph values reliably, rapidly and sustainably. Lactococcus lactis, which is known to inhibit clostridia directly, reduces the risk of butyric acid fermentation and improves the protein quality. Lactobacillus buchneri ensures that moderate quantities of acetic acid and propanediol are released, thus providing better protection against reheating. BONSILAGE ALFA contains specific, powerful bacteria that provide good protection against reheating. Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus acidilactici quickly lower the ph level by producing lactic acid in the front-end fermentation cycle. Lactococcus lactis inhibits clostridia growth and lowers the risk of butyric acid fermentation. Reduces the protein breakdown that typically occurs with wet silage. BONSILAGE FORTE is specially developed for all types of wet and hard-to-ensile grass and alfalfa silages in the lower dry matter range.

9 FOR EXTRA STABILITY AND ENERGY IN GRASS HAYLAGE AND SMALL GRAIN SILAGE. CLASSIC PERFORMANCE FOR SILAGES. BONSILAGE PLUS contains three selected noble strains of lactic acid bacteria to ensure an optimum fermentation pattern for the upper dry matter range of grass haylage and small grain silages. The rapid release of lactic acid quickly lowers the ph level and results in more available bypass protein in the small intestine. Controlled acetic acid formation of Lactobacillus buchneri bacteria inhibits yeast and molds, reducing the risk of reheating and shrinkage during feeding. BONSILAGE PLUS will improve the fiber digestibility and help to retain dry matter and nutrients in your forage. Ensiling creates a reliable fermentation process for grass and clover grass haylage. Quickly lowers the ph level in standard dry matter ranges. Creates a very palatable, highly digestible silage for higher feed intake. BONSILAGE CLASSIC contains specially selected homofermentative lactic acid bacteria. ALFALFA AND GRASS SILAGE PRODUCTS ALFALFA AND GRASS SILAGE PRODUCTS
