Low DM grass (<30%) needs a rapid drop in pH so that nutrients, such as sugar and protein, are preserved. The lower the dry matter, the lower the drop in pH needed to produce a stable silage.

When a rapid drop in pH is achieved, it is not only beneficial for nutrient preservation but also for a reduction in the action of anaerobic bacteria that can cause secondary fermentation. Low dry matters can also lead to effluent problems and cause environmental pollution, as well as a loss in potential nutrients within the clamp.

A crop specific additive should also contain an enzyme package to breakdown the tougher (hemicellulose) fibre fractions. This results in more efficient forage utilisation that aids digestibility, improves intakes, improves performance and ensures an effective preservation.

Treat low DM grass silage with axphast gold to produce an efficient fermentation, minimise effluent and improve animal performance.
