AKRA Silage additive
Silage optimisation
AKRA Silage additive is a natural silage additive for enhancing forage during the production of grass or maize silage. Thanks to the rapid fermentation process and pH reduction, the risk of faulty fermentation is reduced as is the amount of fermentation effluent run-off.
Advantages
AKRA Silage additive is manufactured in a natural process using carefully selected cane molasses with the addition of highly-active strains of lactic acid.
During the fermentation phase, fermentation acids like acetic, lactic and propionic acid are formed. These fermentation acids are kept in a harmonious balance by the AKRA Silage additive – without any chemical additives.
Thanks to the rapid fermentation process and pH reduction, the risk of faulty fermentation is reduced as is the amount of fermentation effluent run-off.
Effect of AKRA Silage additive
- Higher feed value
- Higher fattening and milk performance in animals
- Better feed intake
- Better digestibility
- Improvement of aerobic stability
- More stable fermentation process
- Optimal ratio of fermentation acids
