Bergophor – feeding with system

A biological instant silage additive to protect corn silages and CCM from reheating and mold formation.

Maize silage and CCM are basic forage that can be ensiled easily and contain sufficient amounts of lactic acid very quickly to achieve a stable, low pH value.

BERGO^® Lactosil Fresh contains a highly effective heterofermentative lactic acid bacterial strain (Lactobacillus buchneri, DSM 13573).
This strain of lactic acid bacteria forms more acetic acid, it is acid and osmo-tolerant, i.e. the bacteria can prevail against rapidly acidifying lactic acid producers and can also be used in silages with higher drymatter (DM) contents.

Excessive acetic acid production is prevented by the special selection of the lactic acid bacteria strain. A high acetic acid content (> 2.5 %) in the Silage can negatively affect feed intake.

Effects

• stabilizes the silage under the influence of air
• 6 - 8 days improved shelf life
• reduces the growth of yeast and mold
• reduces DM and nutrient losses
• preserves valuable feed energy
• Protein quality is improved
• more crude protein
• suitable for organic farms

BERGO^® Lactosil Fresh is packed in bags of 100 g each.
The content of one bag is sufficient for the treatment of 100 t of silage maize or 50 t of CCM or wet maize grist.
This achieves an inoculation density of 100,000 bacteria per g of ensiled material or 200,000 bacteria per g of ensiled material with CCM.

After dissolving in water, BERGO^® Lactosil Fresh is ready to use and must be used within 48 hours. It is recommended to spray 2 liters of solution per ton for silo maize and 4 liters of ready-to-use solution per ton for CCM, reduced amounts of liquid are possible.

The amount of water required to dissolve the concentrate, depending on the dosage, can be found in the table.
