That’s why we’re offering a Buy 11 bottles, Get 1 FREE deal on two of our most trusted silage inoculants: Ecosyl and Ecocool. With the offer running until 15th September 2025, now is the ideal time to boost your silage performance and reduce your cost per tonne.

Whether you’re still cutting grass, or preparing for maize  harvest, here’s everything you need to know about both products — and why this offer is worth acting on.

Ecosyl

Ecosyl is one of the most researched silage inoculants on the market, delivering consistent improvements in fermentation quality, nutrient retention and animal performance. At its core is the proprietary MTD/1 strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, selected for its ability to dominate fermentation and quickly reduce pH.

Key benefits of Ecosyl:

• Accelerates fermentation and reduces pH quickly
• Preserves more true protein and dry matter
• Improves silage intake, digestibility, and animal performance
• Reduces dry matter losses and heating at feed-out
• Available in both liquid and dry formulations
• GMO-free
• Two-year shelf life when stored correctly

Ideal for use on:

• Grass silage (single or multicut systems)
• Wholecrop cereals
• Legumes (e.g., clover, lucerne, alfalfa)
• High dry matter silages
• Crops harvested under challenging or variable weather conditions

With its long shelf life and broad crop compatibility, Ecosyl is also ideal for stocking up now for use in 2026.

Ecocool

Ecocool is a dual-strain inoculant specifically developed to tackle the dual challenges of fermentation and aerobic spoilage. While it also contains the high-performing MTD/1 strain found in Ecosyl, Ecocool adds Lactobacillus buchneri strain (PJB/1) — a second strain that enhances aerobic stability, reducing heating and spoilage during feed-out.  

With maize season now well underway, silage makers are already facing the challenges of high dry matter levels and delayed feed-out — both of which increase the risk of aerobic spoilage and nutrient losses. Ecocool is designed to address these exact conditions, making it a critical tool for preserving maize silage quality.

Key benefits of Ecocool:

• Delivers fast, efficient fermentation
• Greatly improves aerobic stability during feed-out
• Reduces heating, spoilage and mycotoxin risk
• Preserves more true protein and overall nutrient value
• Suitable for organic systems
• GMO-free

Recommended for use on:

• Maize silage
• Grass silage with a slow feed-out rate
• Legumes and cereal/legume bi-crops
• Higher dry matter crops
• Silage destined for warm storage or transport
• Any silage at risk of spoilage due to aerobic exposure

Application and flexibility

Both Ecosyl and Ecocool are designed for ease of use and adaptability on farm.

• One bottle or pack treats 100 tonnes of forage
• Compatible with standard or ULV applicators
• Application rates from 20 ml/t to 2 L/t
• 48-hour tank mix life
• 24-month shelf life (unopened in cool, dry storage)

This flexibility allows you to use the product across multiple silage types, with the confidence that it will continue to perform under real-world farm conditions.
