Inoculant

Ecocool

Ecocool combines the rapid fermentation and improved digestibility of MTD/1 with the improved aerobic stability offered by Lactobacilus buchneri PJB/1. Ideal for maize and grass stacked silages, Ecocool helps your silage face keep its cool and minimise dry matter loss.

Features and Benefits

+

-

Quickly dominates a stack, resulting in rapid lowering of pH in the first 24 hours of ensiling which preserves more DM and protein

28 trials show a 4% improvement on DM recovery with MTD/1 vs untreated silage which means more feed for your animals

Studies show that Ecocool treated silage maintains aerobic stability, preventing heating above ambient temperature for up to 10 days (240 hours)

Minimises heating due to the prevention of yeast and mould development on the open face which prevents DM loss

GMO free and suitable for organic use
