SILAGE

• FERMENTATION
• IS A NATURAL
• PROCESS

4
To achieve rapid fermentation of silage The
following criteria must be met

• Adequate soluble sugars
• Proper Moisture and Maturity Content
• An Anaerobic Condition
• Presence of Rapid Lactic Acid Producing
  Microbials

5
Feedtech

• Moisture Recommendations
• Silage moisture should be in the range of 50-70
  moisture
• High moisture grains (must be cracked/rolled)
  25-35 moisture

6
Lactic Acid Producing Microbials Must Lower pH
to 4.5 or Lower as Quickly as Possible

• Mix 625 gram package into 50 quarts of water
• Apply 1 quart per ton of silage or high moisture
  grain
• Supplies 100,000 CFUs of lactic acid producing
  bacteria per gram of silage
• One package treats 50 tons of silage

20
FEEDTECH WATER SOLUBLE

• Feedtech is also available in a 25 pound pail
  which will treat 1000 tons of silage. This is a
  very popular and practical size of packaging.

21
Feedtech Mixing Instructions

• Mix .4 oz. of Feedtech Inoculant per volume
  of water applied per ton of treated silage.
• Recommended Water Volumes
• Baleage 1/2 gallon to 1 gallon per ton
• Bagged Silage 1 quart per ton
• Upright Silos Applied at blower 1 quart per ton
• Applied at Chopper 1 pint per ton
• Boom Applicators 1/2 to 1 gallon per ton

22
PREFERMENTED FEEDTECH MICROBIAL INOCULANT

• Provides nutrients and buffers to support
  microbial growth for up to 72 hrs
• Provides 500,000 - 750,000 CFUs per gram of
  silage after 12-24 hours of prefermentation
• Increased bacterial numbers lower pH of silage
  rapidly

23
Feedtech Prefermentation Instructions

• Mix 5 lbs. ( 80 ounces ) of Feedtech Water
  Soluble Inoculant into 5 gallons of clean water.
• Allow to preferment for 12 to 24 hours. Keep
  solution out of direct sunlight.
• Add prefermented solution to water at the
  following rates.

24
Application Rate Per Ton

• 1 Pint per ton - Add 5 gallons of the
  prefermented
  solution to 20 gallons of water. Apply
  at one pint per ton. This 25
  gallons will treat
  200 tons of silage.
• 1 Quart per ton - Add 5 gallons of
  prefermented solution
  to 45 gallons of water. Apply
  at 1 quart per ton . This 50 gallons
  will treat 200 tons of
  silage.
• 1 Gallon per ton - Add 5 gallons of
  prefermented
  solution to 195 gallons
  of water.
  Apply at 1 gallon per ton.
  This 200
  gallons will treat 200 tons of
  silage.
