AgriSile®

1 of 1 products in this brand
AgriSile® is a combination of specific silage bacteria and co-factors that help improve the fermentation cycle. University trials show that AgriSile® can reduce dry matter loss and heating during fermentation. Both dry matter recovery and feed efficiency are improved. Maximum retention of silage dry matter and protein.

Functions: Silage Inoculant

Features: Controls Mold Growth, Easy To Handle, Improves Dry Matter Digestibility, Improves Feed Efficiency, Provides Rapid pH Drop, Shelf Stable

Features & Benefits
  • Normal Silage Losses - Once silage is pit in a silo, a series of uncontrollable events take place. The natural fermentation process will preserve the silage, but not without some loss of dry matter, energy and digestible protein.

AgriSile® - Features & Benefits

  • AgriSile® Reduced Losses - Your dairy or beef ration is balanced to supplement your silage. As the nutritional value of your silage decreases, the need and expense of off-farm supplements increase. By adding AgriSile® you can begin to control some of those events that are normally uncontrollable. You can see from accompanying graphs that AgriSile® enhances fermentation and decreases nutritional losses.
  • AgriSile® Speeds Fermentation - AgriSile® a more rapid drop in pH and this means better silage.

AgriSile® - Features & Benefits - 1

Lactic Acid Bacteria – The Engine That Powers Fermentation -Many outstanding universities such as Cornell and Michigan State have established the necessary criteria for a silage inoculant.

  • A minimum of 100,000 cfu of lactic acid bacteria per gram of silage.
  • Live bacteria – non-viable (dead) bacteria are no good.
  • Always refrigerated during storage.
  • Dissolves in water – better coverage than dry products.
  • Can be used with injector systems.
  • Two strains of homofermentative, lactic acid bacteria, each designed to work at different pH ranges.
  • Special applicator – will not damage bacteria.

AgriSile® – The Leader in Silage Inoculants

  • Freeze-dried and continually refrigerated during storage. Always 100% fresh, healthy, and alive.
  • Provides more than 125,000 cfu of specific lactic acid bacteria per gram of silage. Not only enough bacteria to produce a good fermentation, but the right strains of bacteria to initiate a rapid pH drop.
  • Bacterial strains that convert plant sugars to lactic acid and stabilize silage sooner.
  • Limits mold and yeast growth because a quick drop to the range of pH 4.0 inhibits their reproduction and growth. This means better bunk life and feed values during feed out.
  • Water-soluble for easy mixing and even application .
  • Special equipment to safely apply AgriSile® without damaging the bacteria.

Management Guidelines For Good Silage
  • Keep Knives sharp
  • Chop 3/8 to ½
  • Fill rapidly
  • Ensile at proper moistures.
  • Insure tight pack.
  • Storage structure, side alls, floors and doors should be air and water tight.
  • Exposed areas properly covered
  • Add AgriSile® at recommended rates.
Crop Maturity
  • Corn silage Early to full dent
  • Alfalfa 1/10 bloom
  • Cereal silage Milk to soft dough
  • Grasses When first sterns head out
  • Clover ¼ to ½ bloom
  • Forage sorghum Grain medium to hard dough
  • or begin to lose color
