The ability to harvest moist forage as haylage gives forage producers in the humid regions of the U.S. many advantages, including timely harvest, higher nutritive quality and less weathering loss compared to hay systems.
Aerobically unstable corn silage is a common challenge for dairy and beef operations throughout the U.S. Mold and yeast are field-borne organisms that are transferred to the storage facility during the harvesting process.
Forage inoculants are effective additives to promote a quick drop in pH during fermentation of forages. These additives are viable bacteria that carry out fast and efficient fermentation, which can help maintain the nutritive quality of the fermented forage and reduce dry matter losses.
