Britmilk - Model Bio-Ferm Gold -Grass Silage
Bio-Ferm Gold is one of the best selling inoculants in the UK and Ireland. It is a unique combination of multi-strain bacteria. This unique combination of lactic acid bacteria producing bacteria are able to quickly dominate the less efficient natural bacteria present on grass. This domination produces a rapid fermentation with a stable pH achieved in 24 hours. Bio-Ferm Gold will help to drive feed efficiency, stability and lower the carbon footprint in animal production. Bio-Ferm Gold is using ONLY homofermentative bacteria with their unique ability to convert sugars to lactic acid with minimal loss. Bio-Ferm Gold also contains enzymes which release additional sugars in challenging conditions in order for bacteria to complete the fermentation.
Bio-Ferm Gold`s unique combination of bacteria brings together the tried and tested bacteria used for over 30 years plus new INNOVATIVE STRAINS that produce bacteriocins. Bacteriocins have specific anti-microbial properties, restricting the growth of yeasts (heating), moulds (toxins) and enterobacteria/ clostridium bacteria (loss of sugars/proteins).
- Improving feed efficiency by retaining more protein in its true form with reduced concentration of free amino acids.
- Standard silage analysis does not show the real effect of fermentation on true protein %. It is for this reason that inoculated silages perform significantly better even though the standard chemical analysis appears unchanged.
- Lactic acid in silage will direct rumen fermentation towards propionate, which in turn will reduce methane production (green house gas). Lower methane leads to greater efficiency.
- Reduction of over 20% in effluent
- Dry Matter Losses in effluent down by 30%
- Total ensiling losses reduced by over 27% equal to over 50 tonnes more silage per every 1000 tonnes of forage ensiled. Worth over £1400 (silage at £28 per tonne) or Extra feeding for 5-6 cows
Bio-Ferm Gold is available for both liquid or granular application. Bio-Ferm Gold (liquid) is packed in easy to use bottles. Each bottle treats 100 tonnes of fresh forage. It can be applied from 10mls to 2 litres per tonne. Specialist applicators are required for very low volume applications.
Benefits.
- Can be mixed at higher concentrations to suit lower application rates for high output self propelled machines ?
- Low application means less time changing barrels ?
- Remains stable for 2 days after mixing ?
- Non corrosive
Bio-Ferm Gold is available to apply as; Granular in 20kg bags @ 400 gm per tonne treating 50 tonne. Liquid in 500 gm sachets and apply at 1 litres per tonne treating 50 tonnes.
