Nutretain Silage Inoculants
Nutretain is a science-based forage preservation technology that synergistically combines multiple bacteria strains with high-activity enzymes to speed the fermentation process increasing lactic acid production while improving dry matter recovery and forage quality over a broad range of crops. Additionally, Nutretain silage inoculants work as very effective preservatives. Nutretain treated silages produce moderate concentrations of acetic acid during fermentation; this is beneficial because acetic acid inhibits yeasts and molds, resulting in improved stability when silage is exposed to air. In fact, silages with very low concentrations of acetic acid may be unstable upon feed-out (Kung et al., 2018). When acetic acid from silages is consumed by ruminants, it can be absorbed from the rumen and used for energy or be incorporated into milk or body fat.
The goal of making silage is to produce a stable feed with a high recovery of dry matter, energy, and highly digestible nutrients compared with the fresh crop.
