Production of acetic acid improves aerobic stability, even though acetic acid takes a little plant energy to produce. Stability tests indicate forages with higher acetic acid show greater resistance to spoilage when exposed to air, which means a longer bunk life. For each 1 pound of additional DMI we can expect an increase of 2 to 2.5 pounds of milk production per cow per day. Research trials show increased milk production when feeding treated forages vs. untreated with similar dry matter intake. This controlled fermentation also reduces pH and increases lactic acid.
Forages stay fresh and palatable longer after exposure to air whether in storage or after removal.
This is especially critical on farms with bunker silo's, piles, bags, and total mixed rations. 109,000,000,000 CFU's per pound. Applies 120,000 CFU's per gram of forage when used at 1 pound application rate per ton. Recommended for all types of high moisture forage. Pro-Store AT should be used in accordance with good silage management practices.
