START

4 BACTERIA - LARGE NUMBER OF COLONY

    4 strains of lactic - acid bacteria

• L. plantarum
• P. acidilactici
• L. salivarius
• E. faecium

SILAGE

Result of the fermentation is any kind of nutrient.

PURPOSE OF ENSILING

Preservation of nutrients from fresh sheets for use in the year when there is no fresh food available.

FACTORS AFFECTING ON THE EFFICIENCY OF ENSILING:

•     Type of crop
•     The maturity of the crop when mowing
•     The weather
•     Silo-type object
•     Filling speed
•     Length of woodchips
•     Strength of the mass compression
•     Type of closure / intake
•     Adding - inoculants
•     The synchronicity of all phases of ensiling
•     Well-trained workers
   

WHY USE THE START?

•     Effect of inoculation with START with fermentation and nutritive value of silage of whole maize is:
•     Significant increase in preservation of dry matter
•     Lowered pH value during fermentation and after exposure to aerobic conditions (open)
•     reduced spoilage of silage
•     Less heating of silage
•     Tendency of decreasing N in the form of ammonia (drain reducement)
•     Digestion increasing

RESULTS

Increased appetite of cows and increased intake of dry matter results in milk production increasing for 1-2 liters per cow per day ( 500-600 l of milk per cow per year) and significantly better daily gain in fattening cattle.
 

READING OF MILK LINES

1/4 milk line - 30% dry matter
1/2 milk line = 35% dry matter

When is corn ready for harvest?

•     Milk lines V3 to the 1/2 area of ​​the grain.
•     Early waxy phase.
•     Leaves above the piston have to be mainly green. Dry matter content should be something less than 35%
