BIOTAL SILAGE INOCULANT II
Contains live viable cells of Pediococcus pentosaceus 12455 and Lactobacillus plantarum 12422. When properly applied, Biotal Silage Inoculant II will deliver 100,000 CFU/g of fresh forage.
Contains specific enzymes, flow enhancers, nutrients, stabilizers and indicator dye. This proprietary formula is preserved in US Military specification barrier foil to ensure:
Shelf life stability
Optimum flow characteristics
Easy dispersion in cold water
Rapid activation of ingredients
Viability following rehydration
BENEFITS
Reduced in-silo losses - less shrink
Less waste
Higher intakes
Improved digestibility
Increased profitability
PACKAGE SIZES
Supplied in 100g and 400g packages of water soluble concentrate to treat 50 and 200 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.
INCREASED DRY MATTER RETENTION
Research has shown a 3% improvement, on average, in dry matter recovery. In a typical 500 tonne capacity silo put up at 60% moisture, you would have approximately 15 additional tonnes available for feed.
INCREASED MILK PRODUCTION
The US Dairy Forage Research Center reports that dairy cows that consume inoculated alfalfa silage produce an average of 3% more milk.
Increased milk yield 72.5 lb per cow.
GREATER WEIGHT GAIN PER TONNES OF SILAGE
The US Dairy Forage Research Center reports that dairy cows that consume inoculated alfalfa silage produce an average of 3% more milk.
16.4% increase in weight gain
6.5% improvement in feed efficiency
