Improved digestibility
Higher intakes
Increased profitability
PACKAGE SIZES
Supplied in 100g, 400g and 1kg packages of water soluble concentrate to treat 50, 200 and 500 tons of fresh forage, respectively. Dry applied granular versions are also available.
OMRI APPROVED FORMULA AVAILABLE
QUALITY CONTROL
Products are independently tested to ensure manufacturing quality is maintained. Lallemand Animal Nutrition production facilities follow a strict Total Quality Management System to ensure product purity and quality.
All Biotal Forage Inoculants are manufactured at our facility in Milwaukee, WI under the following internationally recognized quality accreditation systems: ISO 9001: 2000; AIB GMP certification; AFIA Safe Feed/Safe Food Certification; FAMI-qs.
PRODUCT STORAGE AND APPLICATION
Store unopened packages in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration at or below 40°F is recommended. Shelf life is 18 months from date of manufacture when stored as recommended. Can be applied using any suitable applicator. Ensure that the applicator is properly cleaned and calibrated.
All Biotal Forage Inoculants include a proprietary blend of stabilizers to both maintain viability in the package and to enhance stability following rehydration of the product. Once rehydrated with potable (drinking quality) water, the product will maintain viability for 3-4 days in the applicator tank, when kept cool and out of direct sunlight.
Biotal Forage Inoculants are not affected by chlorine up to potable water standards (1 ppm).
Some of the essential product stabilizers are finely divided, insoluble powders (1-3% by weight). This may result in a small residue of fine white powder in the bottom of the applicator.
BOOST PERFORMANCE
AND CUT SILAGE LOSSES WITH BIOTAL PLUS II
Powerful enzymes are combined with specially selected bacteria for optimum efficiency in ensiling grass, legume, grain, and whole crop silages.
THE POWER OF ENZYMES:
BETTER DIGESTIBILITY & LESS WASTE
In plant fiber, readily digestible cellulose is held in bundles by hemi-cellulose fractions (see Figure 1). Biotal’s®unique enzyme formulations specifically break these down, opening up the cellulose. The cellulose becomes more available for digestion in the rumen and helps the silage retain more moisture, reducing seepage.
THE POWER OF BACTERIA:
IMPROVED STABILITY & INTAKE
The elite, fast and efficient lactic producer Pediococcus pentosaceus 12455 and a scientifically selected propionic acid producing bacterium work together to produce a balanced profile of lactic, acetic, and propionic acids. This combination eliminates spoilage bacteria (clostridia, Listeria, enterobacteria) and the yeasts and molds that cause pH drift, heating, and severe spoilage losses (see Figure 2).
PROVEN IN INDEPENDENT TRIALS
18% better dry matter recovery than control. Plus five other trials on corn silage: University of London, USDA FRC, Kingshay Trust, CEDAR, IGER.
Average: +3.6 tons extra Dry Matter per 100 tons ensiled
Digestibility was significantly increased during the first 8 hours over
untreated silage.
Hours Digestibility of Time (hours) treated (%UT)
0 127%
3 120%
8 119%
High Moisture Corn (whole grains, ensiled at 28-30% Dry Matter) Biotal Plus II - treated material heated significantly more slowly:
Control: 57 hours to heat
Biotal Plus II: 161 hours to heat
Grass Silage: +402 lbs milk/ton/forage, +3.4 lb milk/hd/day
Baleage: 33% increase in calf ADG
High Moisture Corn: 6.8% increase in ADG 1.8% better FCE
