Maintain Nutritional Value with CHR Hansen Silage Inoculants

Ensiled forages account for the majority of most dairy rations around the world. The main purpose for feeding ensiled forages is to preserve and recover organic dry matter, while retaining nutritional value and palatability.

Proper or improved silage management can have a significant impact on the overall profitability of the dairy. One way to do this is to use a silage inoculant.

Silage inoculants from CHR Hansen facilitate control of the fermentation process and help maintain a high nutritional value of the ensiled forage - features which ultimately translate into improved animal performance and higher return on investment.

The bacterial silage inoculants rapidly establish an anaerobic environment, preventing spoilage and lowering production costs. 
Benefits of CHR Hansen silage inoculants include:

  • Controls the fermentation process and helps maintain high nutritional value of your ensiled forage 
  • Reduces dry matter loss by lowering pH faster 
  • Lowered silage pH improves nutrient stabilization 
  • Reduces heating on silage improving feeding quality and bunk life

Harvest is upon us. Premier Cooperative’s Grain Division is prepared to receive what we hope to be a bountiful crop this year. We have spent a lot of time doing preventative maintenance to ensure quick unload times at each location. This will help ensure limited breakdowns during the busy harvest season.

October 1st marked a milestone in my life. Thirty years ago on that date, I started working for the cooperative. I was 32 years old with a work history that included working as a laborer in a cheese factory, a construction worker building Harvestore silos, an infantryman in the U.S. Army and a salesperson at a competing cooperative. I guess you could say I was well rounded.
