Why is the speed of silage preservation so important?
The faster a forage enhancer works, the more nutrients are retained in the silage. So the silage will be of a better quality with more valuable crude protein and essential nutrients being preserved. Which means your cows benefit from a superior quality silage and you benefit form improved animal performance. Powerstart contains a unique bacterium called AberF1. Discovered by IGER and patented by Genus, Powerstarts AberF1 can access all the sugars in grass to produce a super fast fermentation. |

Powerstart has access to all the sugars in grass... There are two types of sugar in grass -simple and complex. Glucose, Fructose and Sucrose are examples of simple sugars, Fructan is an example of a complex sugar. Grass contains about 45% of simple sugars in good weather and as little as 15% in poor weather. Most forage enhancers can only access these simple sugars. Complex sugars can make up as much as 85% of sugars available in grass in bad weather. Powerstart can access both simple and complex sugars in any weather and the more sugar available, the faster the fermentation will be (see graph one below). |
