Biotal - Model Plus - Forage Inoculant
Biotal Supersile contains specifically selected, elite lactic acid bacteria to dominate ensiling fermentation and improve efficiency. pproved by the CFIA (CFIA Registration #980485)
Biotal Supersile has been proven to increase DM retention and improve protein retention.
What is in Biotal Supersile?
- Pediococcus acidilactici 12420 and Lactobacillus plantarum 12422.
Main Features:
- Provides fast, efficient fermentation to prevent bad fermentations due to Clostridia, Listeria, Enterobacteria, etc.; enzymes produce sugars to kick-start the ensiling fermentation
- Contributes to higher lactic acid production and a stable, low final pH
Colony Forming Units (CFU):
- 100,000 CFU/g forage
Biotal Supersile is a patented inoculant formulation with enzymes to help drive the fermentation.
Biotal Supersile is used for:
- Corn silage
- Alfalfa haylage
- Grass haylage
- Ryelage
- Cereal silages
- High moisture corn (HMC)
Approved by the CFIA:
- Improves protein retention
Biotal Supersile helps achieve fast fermentation which leads to:
- Improved DM recovery
- Ideal fermentation
- Better protein quality
Speed of fermentation and dry matter recovery
Biotal Supersile has shown through numerous trials to both speed fermentation and improve dry matter recovery.1, 2
Improved milk production
Dairy cows fed grass haylage treated with Biotal Supersile saw significant improvement in milk production +33 kg per cow compared to the untreated control.3
Improve feed efficiency in steers
