Silage Additive

SILOSOLVE® FC

The solution to silage challenges

SILOSOLVE® FC beats the heat, even at early opening

Most dairymen experience some silage heating at feed out. When silage is exposed to oxygen, yeast and mould proliferate. This causes the silage to heat and leads to dry matter loss and poor silage quality.

SILOSOLVE® FC prevents this from happening. It improves aerobic stability by reducing the growth of yeast and mould in a variety of crops.

Forages inoculated with SILOSOLVE® FC can be fed early. The unique combination of L. lactis and L. buchneri strains in SILOSOLVE® FC promotes rapid fermentation with enhanced aerobic stability – even after only 7 days of ensiling.  Laboratory studies prove, and field observations confirm the quality and palatability of SILOSOLVE® inoculated forages.

SILOSOLVE® FC has consistently yielded silage preferred by dairy cows. SILOSOLVE® FC promotes rapid, controlled fermentation and ensures that dry matter and nutrients from the field are preserved and available for your cows.

SILOSOLVE® FC improves aerobic stability while improving dry matter recovery

SILOSOLVE® FC is a unique, dual-action inoculant that improves aerobic stability and at the same time improves dry matter recovery over a broad range of dry matter and forages. While SILOSOLVE® FC increased aerobic stability up to 30 days in university trials, dry matter recovery across crops was improved an average of 3.5% points compared to untreated silages.

SILOSOLVE® FC improves stability – even at early feed out

Review of the literature indicates that L. buchneri normally produces acetic acid after 56 days of ensiling. With SILOSOLVE® FC, acetic acid production has been observed on day 2 of ensiling maize silage and as a result improved aerobic stability even after a short fermentation time. In alfalfa silage aerobic stability was improved by 13 days.

What’s inside SILOSOLVE® FC

SILOSOLVE® FC contains our proprietary strain of Lactobacillus buchneri LB1819, plus our unique strain of

Lactococcus lactis O224. This novel combination facilitates rapid establishment of anaerobic conditions and improves fermentation to inhibit yeast and mold growth, resulting in improved aerobic stability at feed out – even as early as 7 days of fermentation.

Targeted crops for SILOSOLVE® FC include whole crop maize, small grain, grasses and alfalfa/grass mixtures. SILOSOLVE® FC is particularly effective when there is a risk for fungal growth and across a broad range of moistures.
