Kofasil - Model S -Lactic Acid Bacteria
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
This particularly affects well-fermented, high-energy silo maize, but silage made of grass and whole cereal plants may also display signs of heating on exposure. Ensiling mistakes such as poor compaction, ensiling forage that has been harvested late, or insufficient turnover increase the risk of such processes. This can be avoided by applying good farming practices and using KOFASIL S.
- Avoids feed and energy losses
- Prevents mould growth and production of mycotoxins
- Optimises biogas yield
- KOFASIL S is mixed with tap water and can be used immediately.
- We recommend a dose of at least 0.5 litres of bacterial solution per tonne of silage crop.
- For optimum distribution we recommend applying between 1.0 and 2.0 litres per tonne of silage crop.
- KOFASIL S can be used for silage made from maize, whole crop maize, CCM, whole crop cereals and grass.
