1 Corn-silage and CCM perfectly conserved

2 Grass and legumesperfectly conserved The production of qualitatively high grass silage and legume silage is essentially influenced by form and amount of forage, from time of harvest and weather conditions. The usage of optimal harvesting and ensiling technique is by now standard. The usage of silage additives plays an important role in regulation of the fermentation process and the maintenance of aerobic stability (preservation under oxygen infiltration).

Because of the strong inhibitory potential of its active substances, and G are optimally suited to prevent against yeast and mold. Those products are superb for improvement of preservability under oxygen infiltration while emptying (aerobic stability). Chemical silage additives enable optimal silage quality also under unfavorable weather conditions and inadequate prewilting degree. The used active substances in BERGO SiloPlus and BERGO SiloPlus G provide excellent protection against undesirable fermentation through selective repression of bacteria which negatively affect fermentation e.g. butyric acid producing clostridia, enterobacteriaceae and listeria. Lactic acid bacteria won t be affected in their growth, so that the lactic fermentation processes can run unhindered. Silo komplett additionally provides effective protection against reheating and mycotoxin formation. DLG-test categories: Category a: Improvement of fermentability of difficult to ensile forage.
