James O Keefe, Co Cork

I have a real interest in microbiology and did a diploma in it. We were really impressed with the results we seen with Precision Microbes this year. Preservation was excellent and we made really high-quality forage and I have to put this down to Precision Microbes additive. The feed out was excellent with next to zero waste.

Bill O Donavan, Co Tipperary

We used Precision Microbes additive in over eighty acres of first cut silage and we were really happy. Super preservation, we opened the pit after three weeks and it was fully preserved. Little to no waste and cows fed out well with clean troughs all year. We also monitor rumination and felt at herd level it was the best we have seen. All in all, I was very happy.

Nathan Hunt, Co Roscommon

We have an agricultural contracting business and make and cut a lot of silage every year. We used it on our own pit and the results spoke for themselves. Fantastic preservation, the best we have ever seen. We also got some customers to trial it and they were all delighted with it. A super product to help make quality silage.

Derek O Donoghue, Co Limerick

Two things would have stood out for us when using Precision Microbes silage additive. Preservation was excellent, also excellent stability in the pit face meant there was little to no waste. We also have seen excellent cleanouts by the cows and no waste in troughs. With forage quality becoming more important we see Precision Microbes additive as part of our silage-making going forward every year.

Ray & Veronica Hunt, Co Tipperary

We were very happy with the results using Precision Microbes silage additive. Preservation was excellent and our nutritionist even commented on how good it was. Also feed outs were really good.
Couldn’t have been happier met our expectations and more.

Comparing Ensiling Additive Types

Live Homofermentative Bacteria (Precision Microbes)

The best solution. They produce twice as much lactic acid and as a result reduce the pH rapidly. Due to the rapid pH reduction, test have proven that greater levels of DM and crude protein are retained in the feed. They offer great mould protection and post feeding results include improved milk production, daily gain and feed efficiency.

Live Heterofermentative Bacteria

Effective in pH control but produce a mix of lactic and acetic acids, potentially affecting feed taste. Good for mould control, yet they lack the significant post-feeding benefits seen with homofermentative bacteria.

Freeze Dried Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB)

Need pre-use hydration and are slower to act, offering limited mould prevention and minimal post-feeding advantages. Their slower start-up makes them a less optimal choice for quick and effective silage preservation.

Ensiling Acids

Quickly lower pH and prevent mould but require careful dosage based on forage moisture,bincreasing cost and complexity. While effective in immediate pH reduction, they do not contribute to the nutritional or productive benefits post-feeding.

Fast Efficient Fermentation

Our homofermentative silage additive is engineered to accelerate the fermentation proccess, swiftly increasing lactic acid production. This rapid action ensures silage stabilizes sooner, locking in its nutritional value for superior feed quality.
