Feed Food De-Icing Industrial Events NewsContact English KOFASIL FQM Homofermentative inoculant for improving fermentation quality in silage. ECPS is the key KOFASIL FQM is an inoculant containing an ECPS forming strain of the lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum). ECPS are muscus forming substances which enclose the bacteria and protect it against adverse environment impacts and supports for nutrient and moisture uptake. KOFASIL FQM stands for Protection against negative environment impacts Contains LAB forming the environment shield ECPS Better nutrient aquisition Better growth of the LAB strain better silages Effect The use of KOFASIL FQM results in silage crops (e.g. grass, legumes plants) in an intensive lactic acid formation which drops the pH value quickly and significantly. This inhibits the development of undesirable harmful bacteria such as clostridia, stops proteolysis and reduces DM- and energy-losses. Treating forage crops with KOFASIL FQM results in high-energy, nutrient-rich silage that is perfectly hygienic and is ideal for feeding to high-performance cattle. Effect of different additives at various conditions onto total fermentation products and sugar of a grass silage (Franco et al. 2019) Range of application Fermentation parameters in a wet silage (16.6 & DM) affected by different silage additives KOFASIL FQM is particularly suitable for improving the fermentation quality of silage made of grass, legumes or their mixtures and green cereal plants. Good to know Ready to use KOFASIL FQM is mixed with tap water and can be used immediately. The product is suited for microdosing (20-50ml/t). For optimum distribution we recommend an application amount between 1.0 and 2.0 litres per tonne of silage crop.
