Liquid Feed

Proferm HC-FL

Proferm Hc-FL is a inoculant for a controlled fermentation of liquid feed based on homofermentic Lactic acid bacteria. With the help of such a fermentation, various feed components can be broken down microbially in a controlled manner.

As a result of the desired lactic acid fermentation, the pH value is reduced and undesirable bacteria are eliminated. In addition, the availability of nutrients is improved, which in turn reduces feed costs. With fermented feed, the liquid feed is simultaneously hygienised and has a longer storage life.

Your advantage

• fast reduction of the pH-value (< 4) due to targeted lactic acid fermentation
• improved feed hygiene through inhibition of undesirable bacteria
• improved palatability, nutrient availability and feed intake due to natural acidification
• assured homogeneity and reduced feed costs

Field of Application

The use of Proferm HC-FL is recommended with the following forages:

• Starter culture for the fermentation of unfermented hygienically safe feeds
• especially recommended for the fermentation of substrates rich in starch and carbohydrates

Dosage

2 g Proferm HC – FL per 1.000 litre liquid feed

200 g / sachet, enough for the treatment of 100 m3 liquid feed

Disolve one sachet Proferm HC-FL in 200 litre water, mixing continuously and apply 2 litre / qm liquid feed (23 – 25 % DM)

General instructions:

• Process temperature: 30-35 °C (the higher the temperature, the shorter the process)
• Fermentation time: 10-24 h
• controlled mixing technology with reduced oxygen input

Important information

Careful examination has shown that our product, when used according to the directions for use, is suited for the recommended purposes. Proferm HC - FL cannot eliminate errors in feed hygiene & feed management.

Propionic acid

Propionic acid is a clear slightly yellow, strong smelling fluid. Its concentration is 99,5 % Propionic acid. This acid is able to inhibit moulds and yeasts, therefore improving the aerobic stability of treated silage.

Propionic acid is DLG – proven in group 2.

Field of application

For all silages with heating up problems

Dosage

The dosage is dependent on the field of application.

The following application levels are recommended:

For total treatment of CCM and wet maize the dosage depends on storage time:

• storage period of 1 to 6 month: 5 liters per ton
• storage period of 6 to 12 month: 7 liters per ton

Surface and layer treatment

Per square metre 0,5 l Propionic acid (mixed with 2 l water)

layer thickness ca. 20 - 25 cm, treatment of 2 – 3 layers

Alternatively the complete treatment of last loads is possible.

Stabilization of TMR

3 l / to TMR

Stabilization of liquid feed

0,15 - 0,25 %

Please note

Propionic acid is corrosive. During application use protective gloves and safety glasses.

The usage of acids and their mixtures for conservation properties demands the HACCP – protocol.

There you can find the safety data sheet of Propionic acid.

Lupro-Mix NA

Lupro-Mix NA is a buffered and highly effective mixture of propionic acid and formic acid. The natural lactic acid fermentation will be supported and active substances protect the ensilages safely from heating up and molding. The growth of yeast, molds and bacteria will be avoided and the hygiene of feed will be saved.

Lupro-Mix NA is DLG-proven. In group 1a,b, 2

Potassium sorbate

Potassium sorbate is a granulated chemical conservation product to improve aerobic stability and hygienic value of silage. The effect of sorbic acid contained in potassium sorbate range mainly against yeasts and moulds, however, also many bacteria are inhibited. Spoilage by undesirable microorganisms is avoided and feed hygiene is safe.
