SI-LAC Extra Silage and Hay Inoculant

For ultimate performance in silage and high moisture hay especially when heating at feed-out is an issue.
Australian developed and made silage and hay inoculant delivers Fresh Growing Bacteria to your silage or hay.

When you need a reliable and fast acting inoculant for your silage and high moisture hay, your first choice for reducing the likelihood of mould and creating a stable temperature is Si-Lac® Extra. Fresh culture technology accelerates the ensiling
process, speeding pH reduction and consuming oxygen.
- Contains three bacteria: Lactobacillus plantarum and Enterococcus faecium for fast action, and Lactobacillus buchneri for cooling.
- Unique formulation allows the bacteria to revive quickly and actively grow in your tank before it's applied to the crop.
- Zero lag time ensures faster ensiling by speeding pH reduction and minimising the loss of energy and protein due to heat.
- Increases in strength once mixed.
- Vacuum sealed packs maximize viability of bacteria.
- Does not require continuous refrigeration - store at 20 - 24°C.
- Long tank mix life: 5 - 14 days.
- Will not block filters and nozzles - can pass through 50 mesh screens.
- Suitable for use with all crops.

Si-Lac Extra Benefits for Silage
• Reduces growth of yeasts and moulds.
• Permacool technology stops heating at feedout in silage.
• Treated feed stays fresh for days.
• No feed wastage due to spoilage on the feedpad.
• Reduces ensiling losses.
• Provides:
» More digestible protein.
» Greater dry matter yield.
» Greater energy yields.
• Ideal for use with high moisture grain.

• Make hay with moisture up to 25%.
• Does not require crop moisture to activate.
• Cost effective, gives great value for money.
• Reduces growth of yeasts and moulds by modifying the environment in the hay bale rendering it unsuitable for growth of
moulds.
• Reduces heating through reducing pH and mould growth.
• Helps to maintain quality by retaining leaf.
• Enables earlier baling - helps beat the weather risk.
• Greener hay through faster curing and less bleaching.
• Helps to increase bale weight.

Three fast-acting bacteria
Si-Lac Extra contains Australian strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus buchneri for exceptional performance under our harsh Australian conditions. Locally developed and manufactured, Si-Lac Extra is packed in vacuum sealed packs that ensure maximum viability.
Lactobacillus buchneri has a two fold purpose in high value silage making and high moisture hay making. It consumes oxygen and converts it to hydrogen peroxide.
This action happens both within the hay bale and on the peripheries of bales as well as within the silage and on the peripheries of pits and bales. The conditions for Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus plantarum are enhanced, and spoilage bacteria inhibited. This further reduces the likelihood of spoilage bacteria attackingand significantly reduces heating and spoilage losses.
Enterococcus faecium has the added benefit that it also consumes oxygen during the early stages, converting it to hydrogen peroxide, further eliminating or inhibiting aerobic bacteria.
