It is beneficial to put a layer of direct cut grass on top to aid consolidation and reduce gaseous exchange.The Danish experience (shown above) has shown the best results are achieved when dry matter ranges between 35-40%ULTRA-COOL FOR MAIZE SILAGEMaize silage is very prone to heating due to high levels of soluble sugar, which are used by undesirable organisms when exposed to air. Try to achieve dry matters in the range of 25%-35% to optimise digestibility of the plant and starch content. The move to longer chop length in maize silage to improve rumen function can lead to a loss in stability, making the use of ULTRA-COOL even more important.APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONSGRANULAR - Pack size 20 kg bags (treats 50 tonnes)Apply @ 400 gm per tonne of forageLIqUID - 250g sachets (treats 25 tonnes)Mixing Pre-dissolve each sachet in approximately 2-3 litres of warm water and make up to 50 litres to treat 25 tonnes (4x250g sachets per 200 litre drum to treat 100 tonnes).Application rate Apply at 2 litres per tonne of fresh forageShelf life Will remain stable and usable once mixed for approx 5 days.Storage Store in a cool dry place For further advice on good silage making practices contact; Britmilk Advisor or Local MerchantULTRA COOL is a G.M.O. free product and is suitable for organic farming systemsBRITMILK ADVISORSAlwyn Fleming, Co Tyrone/FermanaghTel/Fax 028816 48314 Mobile 07768 854916Oscar Clingen, Co Down/ArmaghTel/Fax 028855 48107 Mobile 07802 288108John Kelso, Co Antrim/LondonderryTel/Fax 028944 33423 Mobile 07710 872377Mervyn Turkington, Southern ScotlandTel 01387 750459/750567 Mobile 07860 416590Martin Jameson, England/WalesTel/Fax 01207 529889 Mobile 0795 0032305Tom Nelson, Northern & Central ScotlandTel/Fax 01560 480350 Mobile 07774 241786 ? ? ? ? ?ULTRA-COOL WEEKS AFTER HEADING 3 5 7 YIELDS/DM/Ha 10.3 12.0 13.1 DM% 30% 39% 52% PROTEIN % 10% 9% 8% SUGAR % 8% 5% 3% STARCH % 6% 21% 30% ‘D’ VALUE 70% 73% 74% pH 3.8 4.0 4.6 INTAKE Kg DM 8.6 9.0 9.0 B/F % 4.11 3.98 3.81 PROTEIN % 2.99 3.01 3.00 CORR.

POORNEWNEWNEWNEWNEWNEW NEWNEWULTRA-COOL ULTRA-COOL ULTRA-COOL BACTERIAULTRA-COOL’s unique combination of Heterofermentative bacteria and Bacillus spp, suplying 1 x 106 cfu per gram of treated forage (1million cfu/gram) will result in a more rapid drop in pH thus restricting the growth of detrimental bacteria.Heterofermentative bacteria produce stable acids and metabolytes with a broad spectrum of activity against moulds and yeasts. If not controlled these can lead to considerable spoilage and loss of nutrients.Bacteriocins are also produced using specific Bacillus spp which are capable of killing many undesirable organisms that are responsible for spoilage. The inclusion of Bacillus spp also enhances fibre digestion via the production of digestive enzymes.ENZYMESThe hydrolytic enzyme system in ULTRA-COOL is designed to breakdown fibre and produce a more open structure to enhance digestion by the rumen microbes.The inclusion of bacillus spp has the added benefit of continuing to produce digestive enzymes in the rumen when fed.This increases the utilization of the cellulytic components of the wholecrop.TRIAL DATAEffect of Ultra-Cool on SpoilageMicro-OrganismsBENEFITS? Delayed heating at feed- out.? Favours a faster fermentation thereby controlling undesirable organisms responsible for dry matter losses?
