Forage inoculant
Silo-King forage inoculant from Agri-King enhances feed efficiency and treats grain and forage with a blend of enzymes designed to improve digestibility, reduce pH levels to preserve sugars and proteins and reduce levels of trapped oxygen, heat and respiration.
It also helps control and direct the fermentation process to maximize feed quality.
Research has found that application rates of one pound per tonne improve digestibility of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and sulfur. Improved nutrient digestion resulted in higher levels of milk and meat production.
