KOFASIL S contains a specially selected non-GM strain of the lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus buchneri. In addition to lactic acid, this also forms a certain amount of acetic acid which inhibits yeasts and moulds, which improves the storage life of silage kept in non-airtight conditions where heating on exposure could occur without the use of additives

Well fermented energy rich silages exposed to air tend to spoilage. Valuable, easy digestible nutrients are degraded by yeasts and moulds. That results in re-heating and the growth of moulds visible by the typical colored hot spots. In addition, a mycotoxin risk is increasing. Management failures during ensiling like insufficient packing, non-airtight sealing and slow feed-out are major causes. To prevent that, best management combined with the use of Kofasil S 1.2 is needed.

KOFASIL LAC is an inoculant containing two homofermentative strains of the lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum). These have been specially isolated from silage for use as a silage inoculant and have not been genetically modified. The use of KOFASIL LAC results in silage crops (e.g. grass, legumes plants) in an intensive lactic acid formation which drops the pH value quickly and significantly. This inhibits the development of undesirable harmful bacteria such as clostridia and reduces DM-losses. Treating forage crops with KOFASIL LAC results in high-energy, nutrient-rich silage that is perfectly hygienic and is ideal for feeding to high-performance cattle.

KOFA GRAIN -pH 5- is a novel preservative containing sodium benzoate, propionic acid and sodium propionate for the use in cereals and grain maize. The unique, patented formulation makes it superior to other preservatives in terms of efficacy and user-friendliness. Compared with the drying of grain, the use of KOFA GRAIN -pH 5- offers significant cost benefits to the farmer. In addition, the product is as equally effective as pure acid blends, but has markedly improved handling properties for user and equipment.

ADDCON XL 2.0 is manufactured in ADDCON’s diformate reactor. Due to this special production process, the product is more effective than pure acids, easier to use and safer to use.

ADDCON ABC (E503ii) is known for its free-flowing quality, which is produced in Porsgrunn, Norway. With a leavening effect solely as a result of thermal input without the need for an acid, ADDCON ABC is a cost-effective and superior substitute to conventional baking powder in low-moisture produce. The substitution of conventional baking powder enables manufacturers to reduce the overall sodium content as well.

Recently, growing awareness from consumers and producers of aquaculture species has resulted in calls for responsible and sustainable aquaculture. Public opinion and regulation authorities in most countries focus now on the misuse of antibiotics in aquaculture. At the same time, the development of new aquafeeds needs to be optimised too, since the cost of feed often accounts for 50% or more of the operational expenses for an aquaculture facility.

Fish meal and fish oil are basic protein and energy sources in the process of production of animal feeds; particularly the production of fish feeds. The quality of formulated diets depends largely on the quality of the raw products, with fish meal as primary protein source. Fish growth depends on digestibility of fish feed and moreover on the bio-availability of the nutrients. An increased bio-availability of the nutrients contained in the fish feed will have a positive effect on the growth performance of the respective cultured fishes.
