SiloSolve® FC – a simple solution for multiple problems
Each year a massive forage loss is taking place during ensiling and at feed out – most dairy producers will know this and will take due measures to ensure sufficient forage to compensate these losses. Sometimes the growing season, however, does not allow this practice – and from a resource management perspective, this may not be the optimal strategy.
To the producer shortage of forage may present itself with another problem: Early feed out. Dairy producers will recognize the challenges of feeding silage that has fermented for less than the optimal 90 days: unstable silage, often associated with a reduction in milk yield.
If using a silage inoculant, specific products are mostly targeted for specific crops or conditions. As changing weather may affect the conditions for the planned forage, this can play another trick on the producers, suddenly making an already purchased silage inoculant obsolete.
Flexible – in 3 dimensions
With the introduction of SiloSolve® FC producers have a new powerful tool to the forage management challenge – flexible to crops and conditions, providing good aerobic stability – and at the same time allowing for early feed out*.
No silage inoculant, however, can entirely compensate the naturally occurring losses during ensiling nor will it compensate poor silage management. The best return on investment of SiloSolve® FC is observed when silage management overall is perfect.
Unique technology inside
SiloSolve® FC is the latest evolvement of silage inoculants from Chr Hansen. It contains EU approved Lactobacillus buchneri 1819 and Lactococcus lactis O-224 with unique oxygen scavenging capabilities.
SiloSolve® FC can be used across a range of crops and dry matter concentrations.
*Although early feed out should not be a part of the tactics in modern dairy farming, it pays off to be prepared for the un-preferred.
BovacillusTM is a versatile probiotic that can be used in all types of feed applications.
Dairy farmers in India now have access to a technology proven to benefit gut health and productivity of their herds. Probioticsaregoodbacteria, well known for their beneficial effects in humans and animals. However, up to this point, this technology has not been widely available to dairy farmers, due to the challenge of keeping the bacteria alive in different types of feed.
Chr. Hansen, a leading 146-year-old global bioscience company, now puts a new product into the Indian market, BovacillusTM. Consisting of two strains of different species of Bacilli – Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis isolated from nature – BovacillusTMis a special type of probiotic. Bacillus spores can survive harsh conditions during feed production, preparation, and within the gastrointestinal tract.
“Both strains of Bacilli were selected based on their capacity to produce high quantities of digestive enzymes. Bacillusorganisms have been used as probiotics for farm animals for several years, where they have supported performance and health. We’re excited to offer our customers this new product range.” says Dr. Oscar Queiroz, Global Product Manager dairy and beef cattle probiotics, Animal Health, Chr. Hansen.
Widely applicable
The ability to form spores is what gives Bacilli their ability to survive and perpetuate under sub-optimal conditions. Thanks to its diversified and synergistic modes of action, BovacillusTM is an effective choice to support the health and performance of cattle. The resilience and versatility of BovacillusTM allow this effective probiotic to be used in a broad array of applications for cattle:
- Premixes
- Mineral mix
- Mash feed
- Pellets and cubes
- Milk replacers
- Pasteurized milk
- Complete feed
- Blocks and tubs
- Liquids
