<strong>MK</strong> <strong>Multisil</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>silage</strong> <strong>additive</strong><br />
At the institute <strong>for</strong> animal health ID-Lelystad of the agicultural university in Wageningen,<br />
Netherlands, P.G. vam Wikselaar and S.J.W.H. Oude Elfering tested in a scientific research EM ®<br />
effective microorganisms <strong>for</strong> <strong>silage</strong> <strong>additive</strong> (report 2165).<br />
Grass <strong>silage</strong> in 1-kg bags after 6 days and after 2 months of fermentation.<br />
Effect of <strong>MK</strong> <strong>Multisil</strong> relating to loss of weight, ph-value and aerobic stability<br />
after 6 days of fermentation after 2 months of fermentation<br />

*) The aerobic stability test is normally ended up after 3 weeks. Because afterwards there is no representativeness warranted<br />

After 2 month lactic acid, acetic acid and ethanol were the dominating fermentation products in all<br />
<strong>silage</strong>s.<br />
The content of lactic acid and acetic acid in <strong>silage</strong> treated with <strong>MK</strong> <strong>Multisil</strong> were fundamental higher<br />
than in the control <strong>silage</strong>.<br />
Furthermore they found a higher content of propylene-glycol and 1-propanol in <strong>silage</strong> treated with <strong>MK</strong><br />
<strong>Multisil</strong>, witch could be the reason <strong>for</strong> high activity of Lactobacillus buchneri and/or related lactic acids.<br />
These bacteria are very important <strong>for</strong> improving the aerobic stability of <strong>silage</strong>s.<br />
� Silages with <strong>MK</strong> <strong>Multisil</strong> are more stable against fermentation afterwards<br />
� Silages with <strong>MK</strong> <strong>Multisil</strong> achieve faster the optimal pH-value<br />
Silage treatment with <strong>MK</strong> <strong>Multisil</strong>: best price and best achievement: < € 0.70 per t <strong>silage</strong>
