Silage Production and the Role of Siloplus
Silage preparation is often accompanied by risks such as aerobic spoilage (oxidative degradation), mold growth, ammonia production, plant protein loss, increased temperature, and silage heating/burning. Even when the forage quality is high before ensiling, the process may still fall short due to low populations of beneficial bacteria and the absence of suitable bacterial strains, limiting effective and timely fermentation.

The use of silage additives leads to silage with the following advantages:
- High nutritional quality
- Improved digestibility
- Reduced dry matter losses
- Mold prevention
- Lower ammonia production
- Protein preservation
- Oxidation control
- Reduced silage temperature (“cold silage”) and minimized heat damage
Siloplus contains multiple strains of beneficial bacteria as well as a variety of fibrolytic and non-fibrolytic enzymes. These components:
- Rapidly consume oxygen in the silo to prevent oxidative spoilage and mold formation
- Trigger a rapid pH drop
- Inhibit butyric acid production
- Increase lactic acid production
- Improve digestibility and fermentation efficiency
The microorganisms and enzymes in Siloplus suppress the growth of proteolytic bacteria (which degrade proteins and produce ammonia), butyric acid–producing bacteria, and harmful fungi (yeasts and molds). This action preserves silage dry matter and quality.
One of the unique benefits of Siloplus—compared to other silage additives—is its ability to retain nitrogen and plant proteins and prevent ammonia formation via enzymatic inhibition.
By depleting oxygen quickly and causing a swift pH reduction, Siloplus prevents excess heat and silage scorching. It’s important to note that oxygen presence in silage is the leading cause of oxidative spoilage and mold growth, as it promotes yeast and mold proliferation.
Mold growth not only severely reduces silage quality, but it can also lead to the production of numerous dangerous mycotoxins (fungal toxins). These toxins can cause irreversible harm to livestock, including:
- Toxic syndromes
- Impaired reproductive performance
- Abortions
- Liver, kidney, and neurological damage
- Elevated mycotoxin levels (e.g., aflatoxin) in milk
Siloplus limits the growth of harmful microbes and halts plant hydrolytic enzymes, effectively preserving silage dry matter and protein content. As a result, dry matter loss and energy depletion are minimized.
By promoting efficient fermentation, Siloplus shortens silage maturation time, reducing nutrient loss due to extended fermentation periods.
