IF Maxid Fourage – hygiëne in brijvoer en kuilvoerhygiene in mash feed and silage
Why is it necessary?
Mash feed/roughage is susceptible to fermentation and mould, which leads to:
• loss of dry matter
• poorer palatability
• technical problems in pipes
Advantages of acidifying mash feed/roughage:
• Inhibits yeasts and moulds
• Retains nutritional value
• More stable mash feed
Dosage: 3 to 5 kg per tonne of wet feed
Heating, a complex process that occurs in an oxygen-rich environment
During silage removal, an oxygen-rich period mainly determines the acid composition in the silage pit and whether heating occurs. Heating is a complex process in which yeasts play a key role.
Oxygen causes heating: At low pH levels, heating only occurs in places that come into contact with oxygen. This mainly affects the outside of the silage pit and the cut surface of the open pit. Fungi and yeasts can develop here and increase the pH through their metabolic products. As a result, the rotting bacteria are no longer inhibited. A chain reaction occurs: heating.
Lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid: Four acids are important in a silage pit: lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid. These acids determine preservation and the risk of heating. During the preservation process in the silage pit, a lot of lactic acid and a small amount of acetic acid are produced. Lactic acid causes the pH to drop rapidly. Depending on the speed at which the pH drops, more or less acetic acid is formed. A lot of acetic acid slows down preservation and is also less palatable. Consequences of heating: Heating can cause feed value losses of up to 4% of dry matter per day. In addition, feed intake is lower. Heating can form harmful metabolic products, particularly due to the moulds Penicillium and Fusarium. IF Maxid Fourage is a feed supplement based on sodium chloride, 1,2-propanediol and organic acids that maximises preservation. In this way, the nutritional value is preserved to the maximum and the taste is also retained.
With these characteristics, your CCM silage has a greater chance of heating up:
- high dry matter content
- Moderate compaction (plenty of oxygen in the silage)
- Poor coverage (weight causes greater compaction)
- Encased too quickly or not compacted enough
- High pH
- A lot of sugar
- High temperature during ensiling
- Incorrect method of removing manure from the pit
- Low feed rate
- High temperature of the silage during removal from the silo
- High outside temperature
To minimise the risk of heating, all factors must be optimal, both during ensiling and removal from the silo.
Composition: Formic acid, propionic acid, benzoic acid, and sorbic acid.
