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.

THE POWER COMES FROM WITHIN™
Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 was originally isolated and proven by world-leading forage scientists (ID-DLO, Holland and USDA FRC) and has been FDA reviewed for efficacy in preventing heating and spoilage. Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 consistently
reduces heating and spoilage by yeasts and molds in a range of forages. Forages and Total Mixed Rations (TMRs) made with treated forages are more stable, meaning less waste, more forage to feed, better intakes and better hygienic feed quality.
BIOTAL BUCHNERI 40788
Biotal® Buchneri 40788 has been trialed and tested in a wide range of crops to ensure on-farm efficacy for:
Consistent reduction of yeast and mold spoilage
• Less waste
• Increased dry matter and nutrient retention
• More forage to feed
• Better hygienic feed quality
• Improved stability at feedout
• Improved production efficiency from field to milk tank
AEROBIC STABILITY
