Description
1174 multi-crop silage inoculant that can be used on all types of forage to aid in the fermentation processl, giving farmers the opportunity to retain more nutrient content and enhance digest ability in ensiled forages.
1174 contains patented strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and Enterococcus faecium formulated to improve forage quality for silage with higher energy, ferment forage faster to retain more energy and reduce drymatter losses

IMPROVED SILAGE QUALITY AND A MORE EFFICIENT FERMENTATION
2020 pasture trial showed a lower pH and higher lactic/acetic acid ratio when compared to the untreated highlighting a more efficient fermentation and as a consequence less protein was degraded to ammonia-N in 1174 treated silage.
INCREASED RATE OF pH DECLINE
1174 treated silage showed a faster pH drop, when compared to untreated silage especially in the first week of fermentation.
IMPROVED DRYMATTER RECOVERY
Drymatter recovery was measured with different types of silos including bunkers, covered piles, concrete upright silos and silage bags. The intent of this research was to evaluate 1174 under as many different farm conditions as possible
BETTER ANIMAL PERFORMANCE
Beef feeding trial comparing weight gain when fed different forages inoculated with 1174 compared with untreated. The average improvement in gain per tonne of silage fed over six beef feeding studies was an additional 4.4 kg gain for 1174 treated silage.
