Silage & Hay Inoculants

SILAGE INOCULANT

Whether you are making hay or making silage, Si-Lac Extra is your first choice in silage and hay inoculants.

Tried and trusted in the Australian market, Si-Lac Extra uses the unique “Fresh Culture” Si-Lac technology that delivers fresh, actively growing and fast acting bacteria to your hay or silage.

​Si-Lac is the only Australian made silage inoculant.

Si-Lac Extra is a vacuum-packed bacterial inoculant containing 3 Bacteria: Lactobacillus plantarum, which accelerates fermentation, and reduces the pH

Enterococcus faecium, is critical to start early fermentation.

Lactobacillus buchneri, which limits secondary fermentation (heating) on feed-out

ADVANTAGES:

​Contains Lactobacillus plantarum & Enterococcus faecium. This helps to speed up the fermentation process. Plus Lactobacillus buchneri for secondary fermentation control (heating at feedout) to keep your silage cool.

Will give you the ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE in silage making, hay making AND in high moisture grain.

When pre-mixed, bacteria are delivered to the silage live and growing, resulting in the fastest possible colonisation of the silage, with no lag factor

HAY INOCULANT

Si-Lac Extra is ideal for use when making high moisture hay, be it high quality lucerne, oaten hay, or for hay produced from failed crops.

​Seasonal conditions can highlight the problem of showery weather and high humidity causing difficulties in making hay due to crops being unable to be dried sufficiently to bale in these conditions. Continued turning for drying purposes may result in loss of leaf and quality. In many cases, hay ends up mouldy and of poor quality when eventually baled with higher than desired moisture. Further problems with potential fires can arise if moist hay is stacked.

​Additionally, when unfavourable seasonal conditions occur, there may be times when “failed” or poor crops that will not achieve high grain yields may be cut for hay. Most of these crops of wheat, barley, triticale, grain legumes or canola contain a mix of leaf, stem and grain heads or pods, resulting in uneven drying and high

ADVANTAGES:

SI-LAC EXTRA can be used when making small square bales, large squares, or round bales.
