Maize silage inoculants

Faster and more efficient fermentation means less dry matter loss and improved stability and digestibility of silage crops. Using a silage inoculant maximises the feed value of maize silage and helps drives profitability. 

Pioneer 11A44

✅  Dramatically reduce heating
✅  Offer a biological solution without the health risk associated with applying acids and acid salts
✅  Reduce yeasts and moulds to just 0.1 % of untreated control silages
✅  Maintain aerobic stability in maize and cereal wholecrop silage for longer than silages treated with 5 litres of proprionic acid.
✅  When to use Pioneer® 11A44: Maize silage 25% – 45% dry matter Crimped maize  <65 % dry matter
✅  Available as a water-soluble product in packaging suitable for use in tank mixes or with the Pioneer
✅  Pro® systems for easy and convenient application

✅ Improve fibre digestibility
✅ Enable higher maize silage inclusion rates
✅ Available as a water-soluble product in packaging suitable for use in tank mixes or with the Pioneer
✅ Pro® systems for easy and convenient application.
✅ 11CFT contains a novel strain of Lactobacillus buchneri 
✅ Produces specific fibre digesting enzymes as it replicates in silage
✅ Reduces shrink and improves aerobic stability of the silage face during feedout
✅ In addition to fibre-digesting enzyme production
✅ 11CFT contains a unique silage strain of Lactobacillus plantarum 
✅ Stimulate “front-end” fermentation efficiency by rapidly dropping pH, helping to retain valuable nutrients (sugar, starch)
✅ Establishes the ideal environment for growth and proliferation of the enzyme producing L. buchneri allowing enzymatic activity to be expressed, “pre-digesting” NDF and making it more available to the rumen microbes
✅ Help lower feed costs by reducing need for bypass protein supplementation
✅ Excellent choice for high production animals fed high levels of corn silagemaize
