BonSilage Maize

The Booster for Ultimate Success in Silage Making.

BonSilage Maize is expertly formulated with a combination of homo- and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria specifically tailored for maize and whole-crop silages. It ensures a stable fermentation process and significantly enhances aerobic stability through controlled acetic acid production.

BonSilage Maize improves nutrient digestibility, elevating the energy density of your fodder—demonstrating an average increase of +0.27 MJ NEL/kg dry matter across multiple trials.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Digestibility: Improves nutrient digestibility and boosts energy density by an average of +0.27 MJ NEL/kg DM compared to untreated silage.

  • Superior Aerobic Stability: Significantly extends aerobic stability at the silo face by controlling acetic acid formation.

  • Optimal Fermentation: Ensures a reliable fermentation process specifically adapted for maize and whole-crop silages.

Unique Acid Profile

BonSilage Maize delivers a distinct fermentation acid profile—comprising lactic acid, acetic acid, and 1,2-propanediol (propylene glycol)—uniquely suited for maize silage and whole-crop cereals (GPS). This acid profile directly contributes to improved silage stability and higher energy content.

Proven Performance

Independent research from LAZBW Aulendorf and LWK NRW Haus Riswick confirms:

  • Significant Aerobic Stability Improvement: 92 hours of aerobic stability compared to 46 hours in untreated control.

  • Reliable Yeast Suppression: Demonstrably slows yeast propagation, essential for maintaining fodder quality.

Application and Dosage

  • Area of Application: Ideal for whole plant maize silage (28-35% DM) and grain GPS (30-40% DM).

  • Dosage: Apply at 1 g/t to achieve 250,000 CFU/g FM.

  • Packaging: Available in convenient 100 g units, sufficient for treating 100 tonnes fresh material (FM).

  • Minimum Storage Duration: 8 weeks.

Choose BonSilage Maize for dependable, energy-rich, and stable silage production.
