BonSilage Whole Crop & Whole Crop Plus

Superior Preservation for Challenging Whole Crop Silages

Whole crop silages present unique challenges due to their naturally low sugar levels, high dry matter content, and hollow stems, which trap air and lead to slower fermentation and increased susceptibility to heating and spoilage upon opening. BonSilage Whole Crop & Whole Crop Plus are expertly formulated to overcome these obstacles, ensuring reliable preservation and improved forage quality.

Key Benefits

  • Rapid pH Reduction: Achieves quick and efficient pH drop through powerful lactic acid production, stabilizing the silage rapidly after ensiling.

  • Effective Aerobic Stability: Minimises spoilage risks by producing strong concentrations of acetic acid, effectively inhibiting yeasts and moulds, thereby significantly enhancing aerobic stability.

  • Adapted Formulation: Utilises a unique blend of specialist homofermentative and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria, tailored explicitly for difficult whole crop silages.

  • Reduced Heating Risks: Controls silage face temperatures by limiting yeast and mould growth, which is particularly crucial for silages fed out slowly and exposed to air longer.

  • Enhanced Feed Quality: Ensures higher feed intake through superior preservation and consistent quality.

Unique Bacterial Combination

BonSilage Whole Crop & Whole Crop Plus incorporate a distinct blend of powerful homofermentative bacteria for robust lactic acid formation and specialised heterofermentative bacteria, unique to the Bonsilage range, for superior acetic acid production, enhancing the overall preservation process.

Proven Protection and Stability

By rapidly generating lactic and acetic acids, BonSilage Whole Crop & Whole Crop Plus safeguard the quality and nutritional integrity of whole crop silage, ensuring that your forage remains stable, palatable, and nutrient-rich throughout storage and feed-out.
