• Purpose of silage additives.

- Fast Ph dropping lt 4,2 - Save the energy. -
Prevents heating. Stimulates the fermentation
proceses

E.M. Silage improver

• Research Silage additives I.D.-D.L.O.

-What is the effect of the product. - How does
the product work. - What is going on with the
feed during fermentation. - What is happening
during the fermentation. -Which are the most
important fermentation processes..

E.M. Silage improver

• Products based on acids

• Products based on micro-organisms.

Ph drops very fast. No fermentation will take
place.Sugars stay as they were before.
Ph is dropping by fermentation processes. Sugars
etc will be changed in acids an other
fermentation products.
Acts well also with very low sugar content.
There has to be sugar available.

E.M. Silage improver

• Molasses

Molasses is added to raise the sugar content.
Lactic acid bacteria are eating this sugar and
making lactic acid out of it. The grass will not
actually be fermented. The pH will drop rather
fast. When the wrong micro-organisms are present
they will be fed by the same sugar. A very bad
silage will be the result.

• Products based on lactic acid bacteria.

- Topform - Foraform - Kovasil
- Biomax - Pioneer 1188 - Biocool - Ecosil

E.M. Silage improver

• The use of acids.

- When there are no sugars left. - Aggressive
for materials and humans. - pH drops fast no
fermentation occurs.
No conversion ( Taste ?? )

E.M. Silage improver

• Using micro-organisms

- They need sugars for fermentation. - Changing
sugars and other carbon hydrates into organic
acids and other fermentation products.( Taste
improving ) - They wont work without sugars. -
Harmless for machinery and men.

Acids wont give a better feed profit. They just
do some conservation. No fermentation.
!!!!! Micro-organisms will improve the feed
return into milk !!!!! ( Look what is going on
when you are drinking your beer !!!)

• Dilemma of using micro-organisms

- Good weather forecasts. Farmer says I dont
need an additive. -After a few bad days the
sugar is gone. Bacterial products wont do the
job anymore.
Solution Use EM Silage standard !!

• EM Silage standard ???. Why not ???

- A lot of work ???? - Is it always
necessary??. -PRICE !!!

E.M. Silage is more than only lactic acid
bacteria it contains Yeasts too.
Yeast species can convert sugars and
polycacharoses into alcohols and other
fermentation products as heat reducers.

• Lactic acid Bacteria.

• E.M. Silage

- Lactic acid bacteria of different species and
yeasts converting sugars and other polysacharoses
into a wide range of fermentation products which
improves the convertability of the feed and
improves the taste. Silage improver
-Convert sugars almost only into lactic acid.
This acid reduces the pH.

• Not fermented

• Fermented

Grape juice Barley, Yeast and Water Flour, Yeast
and Water Soja and Water
Wine. Beer. Bread.
Ketjap.
Adding acid to grape juce doesnt convert it into
wine !!!!!

Application of E.M. Silage A) Dilute
2 liters of EM Silage into 100 liters of not too
cold water. B) 4
liters of dilution is used per 1000 kg product.
( After making the
dilution it will keep for 24 hours)

• Advantages of EM Silage.

- Harmless for equipment and men. - Easy to
use. - pH drops fast. - Taste improving more
intake. - Heat reducing. - Low investments. -
Makes more energie available for the cow.
