Clostridia mainly grow in wet silage under oxygen-free conditions. Their activity leads to protein breakdown and the production of butyric acid. Butyric acid can reduce feed efficiency and negatively affect animal health when fed to high-yielding dairy cows.

SiloSolve MC reduces clostridial activity

A series of studies has shown that Lactococcus lactis SR3.54 significantly reduces the growth of clostridia and butyric acid fermentation in silage.

SiloSolve MC improves fermentation and reduces
dry matter losses

The unique combination of three lactic acid bacteria in SiloSolve MC accelerates fermentation.
The growth of spoilage bacteria is restricted, helping to preserve nutrients and dry matter. SiloSolve MC reduces dry matter losses by up to 55% compared to untreated, medium to difficult-to-ensile silages.

SiloSolve MC protects protein and reduces ammonia formation

Ammonia is an indicator of protein degradation and can lead to reduced feed intake in dairy cows. In high-quality crops such as alfalfa and grass-legume mixtures, SiloSolve MC reduces ammonia by up to 50% and improves protein preservation by up to 5% compared to untreated silages. The benefits are higher-quality silages with improved feed acceptance.

SiloSolve MC improves fermentation and
increases milk production

SiloSolve MC consistently improves fermentation, leading to a measurable increase in milk production. Cows fed maize silage treated with SiloSolve MC showed improved milk production efficiency, with a 2% increase in energy-corrected milk (ECM) alongside an 8% reduction in dry matter intake. A similar response was observed in cows fed treated alfalfa silage.

What are the ingredients of SiloSolve MC?

SiloSolve MC contains three proven lactic acid bacteria. One strain (Lactococcus lactis SR3.54) is patented for its ability to reduce undesirable microbial fermentation. The other two control and regulate the fermentation process.
Recommended use: For forage crops with low dry matter contents or ensiling under high moisture conditions with the risk of clostridia contamination. SiloSolve MC ensures successful ensiling of difficult-to-ensile material such as legumes or other protein-rich and/or low-sugar plants (including late-cut grass).

Shelf life

18 months when stored at room temperature (≤ 22 °C).
