This maintains silage nutrient and energy levels and minimizes DM losses. Improves aerobic stability MAGNIVA Platinum Silage Inoculants improves the aerobic stability of the silage when opened, actively inhibiting undesirable yeast and mold growth, reducing heating, spoilage and significantly reducing dry matter losses. Lessens energy losses during fermentation and feedout Inhibiting development of undesirable microorganisms with MAGNIVA Silage Inoculants helps retain the full nutritional and energy values of your silage, meaning when fed to animals, the silage will be of optimal quality to drive performance.

If so, please indicate the quantity produced and treated/year Previously no inoculants were used In 2020, 550 tons of maize at 36% DM was produced and stored in 1 silo. Yield was 18 tonnes DM/ha What type of silage additive do you use? Trial carried out with a MAGNIVA Platinum 1 silage inoculant. What were the reasons for this choice? Who recommended them to you? They were suggested to us by the Lallemand team with whom we have previously carried out both trial and training with other products with the teaching and student teams. In 2019, the silos were renovated, and we needed a little more flexibility with the silo to open and utilise silage earlier than normal, within 15-20 days with a rapid opening for one of the maize silos. We regularly carry out nutritional trials on the herd and did not fully understand that the nutritional quality of silage can change after opening if not stable. With this, we realized we ran the risk of falsifying our trial results. The maize harvested in 2018 had very high dry matter and the stability in the silo was poor. This resulted in silage losses and poor animal performance. Finally, Lallemand made us aware of the fact that we were regularly in contact with the public and that the treatment of silage (to limit the physical and nutritional losses of our silages) was fully compatible with our approach towards limiting the carbon footprint of our operation Producing more milk with the smallest possible land area and enhancing the nutritional value of our silage to limit the purchase and transport of raw materials by road (or on boats for soya). For example, simply by choosing and cultivating maize crops, we have reduced our land area used for maize from 80 ha (with varieties of grain) to 50 ha with well-irrigated varieties...
