KOFASIL ® <strong>STABIL</strong><br />
Chemical silage additive for<br />
improving aerobic stability of silages<br />
When well-fermented silage is exposed to air, its quality often deteriorates<br />
as a result of yeast and mould growth. All silages high in energy can<br />
be affected which are made from grass, legumes, whole-crop maize,<br />
maize ear products, brewer’s grains, wet distiller´s grains solubles, stillage<br />
and sugar beet pulp.<br />
The combination of good ensiling practices and the use of KOFASIL<br />
<strong>STABIL</strong> enables the farmer to produce hygienic, high-energy silage that<br />
is perfectly suitable for production of total mixed rations (TMR).<br />
The active substances in KOFASIL <strong>STABIL</strong> are the well-kown food preservatives<br />
sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, which are highly<br />
effective against yeasts and moulds.<br />
Depending on the composition of the silage crop, KOFASIL <strong>STABIL</strong> is to<br />
be used to either treat the top layers or the surface of the silo (the upper<br />
third), or the entire silo content.<br />
We recommend total treatment of all silages with KOFASIL <strong>STABIL</strong> if<br />
they are intended to be fed during the warm summer<br />
season, or if the silo has to be opened earlier than after<br />
8 weeks of fermentation.<br />
KOFASIL <strong>STABIL</strong> is applied at low dosages: one to two<br />
litres per tonne of fresh crop is sufficient. Even owners<br />
of less powerful dosing equipment can now effectively<br />
inhibit aerobic deterioration of their silages caused by<br />
yeasts and moulds by using this innovative chemical silage additive.<br />

Dosage:<br />
KOFASIL <strong>STABIL</strong> is applied directly<br />
on the harvester.<br />
As KOFASIL <strong>STABIL</strong> is noncorrosive,<br />
it can be applied<br />
with any suitable dosing equipment.<br />
We recommend the modular<br />
dosing devices manufactured<br />
by our partner company<br />
SILA GmbH, Bitterfeld, which<br />
can be mounted on any standard<br />
harvesting machinery.<br />
