- Product Highlights
- Higher-Quality Silage Builds A Lower-Cost Ration
- Normal fermentation - All silages experience heating and microbial activity that result in a loss of energy, starch, digestible protein and dry matter. Good management practices help reduce losses but do not eliminate them.
- Controlling the microbial process - SilagePro® alters the fermentation – pH drop is accelerated, less heat is produced, fermentation takes days, not weeks and fiber digestibility is increased – dramatic differences that can be measured by forage analysis and animal response!
- “SilagePro® was the only commercial product that controlled heating” - Utah State University – Trial conducted using 9’ Ag-Bags filled by alternating loads

Technical Details & Test Data
- Fermentation Test
A fast, cool fermentation yields more silage at feedout: Less heat – less shrink.
- Electron Microscopy Of Fiber After Enzyme Action
SilagePro®’s enzyme group releases sugars and “breaks fiber bonds”, opening the fiber and increasing surface area for digestive bacteria. This increases the rate of fiber digestion and improves NDF digestibility.
