Better silage starts with a smarter inoculant strategy

Better silage starts with better planning and a smarter inoculant strategy

Producing high-quality silage isn’t simply a summer decision - it’s the result of months of planning, risk management and practical foresight. The variables farmers face today are greater than ever: unpredictable weather, changing crop conditions, storage pressures and the ever-present challenge of protecting feed value from field to feedout.

With margins tight and forage costs rising, silage can’t just store the crop — it must protect nutrients, preserve dry matter, reduce waste and ultimately support herd performance. The difference increasingly comes down to the quality of fermentation and the tools used to safeguard it.

For many farms, the answer lies in getting ahead early — choosing the right silage inoculant and locking in supply well before peak workload hits.

But this isn’t just about an added-value deal — it’s about backing the product science that delivers measurable on-farm results.

Ecosyl: proven performance across crops

Ecosyl is trusted across a wide range of crops and ensiling conditions, consistently proven to:

• Improve fermentation
• Increase dry matter retention
• Enhance animal performance

Its success is driven by MTD/1 — a unique bacterial strain exclusive to the Ecosyl range, engineered for efficiency and reliability.

Key benefits:

• MTD/1 unique bacterial strain
• Faster fermentation
• 3 ‘D’ extra digestibility
• Better feed conversion & milk/meat performance
• Higher dry matter retention = more feed in the clamp
• Reliable results across conditions and crop types

Ecocool: protection where aerobic spoilage is a risk

When clamps face heating, instability, and aerobic challenge at feedout, Ecocool delivers dual-strain control.

It combines:

• Lactobacillus plantarum MTD/1 – for rapid, efficient fermentation

• Lactobacillus buchneri PJB/1 – for improved aerobic stability

The result? More stable, higher-quality silage, for longer.

Key benefits:

• Faster, more efficient fermentation
• Improved aerobic stability at feedout
• Reduced heating & spoilage
• Less waste, lower dry matter losses
• More protein preserved as true protein
• Reduced risk of mycotoxins

Ideal for:

• Grass
• Maize
• Legumes
• Cereal/legume bi-crops
  (Any forage at risk of aerobic spoilage)

Why early action matters

✔ Secures supply ahead of peak workload
✔ Locks in free product before the deadline
✔ Supports better fermentation when it matters most
✔ Reduces clamp losses, feed waste, and performance drag
✔ Offers better financial return from home-grown forage

When silage quality improves, everything down the line improves — from feed efficiency to herd performance and overall farm resilience.

High-quality silage doesn’t start in the clamp — it starts with the decisions made long before it’s filled.

• Protect your forage
• Support herd performance
• Reduce spoilage and waste
• Maximise home-grown feed value
