Each year the Spring planting season seems to slip by and soon hay is ready to be cut. All forage and grain silage crops should be inoculated if you want to maximize their value. Using one of ANC's PRO-STORE inoculants is an economical decision. Take a look at what PRO-STORE can do for your dairy operation:

More Tons To Feed
By reducing dry matter loss by 4%, there will be 40 tons of additional forage in a 1000 ton bunker. Haylage at 65% moisture and 20% protein is worth $43/ton. 40 x $43 = $1720. This alone is worth double the cost of purchasing PRO-STORE for an entire bunker!

Faster Fermentation, High Lactic Acid, More Energy
Research shows that PRO-STORE treated forage has produced as much lactic acid in 4 days as untreated forage had in 90 days! PRO-STORE treated forage provides fermentation insurance, as various temperature and harvesting conditions can cause significant fluctuations in bacterial levels. Feeding treated forages reduces production drop when switching to different silos or bunkers!

Longer Bunk Life
Forages treated with PRO-STORE undergo a stable fermentation which reduces free ammonia nitrogen and water soluble carbohydrates. This controlled fermentation also reduces pH and increases lactic acid. Forages stay fresh and palatable longer after exposure to air whether in storage or from removal. This is especially critical on farms with bunker silos, piles, bags, and total mixed rations.

More Milk
Research trials show increased milk production when feeding treated forages vs. untreated with similar dry matter intake. At 35 pounds of haylage fed, a 3 point increase in NEL (0.64 to 0.67) is worth approximately $550/month/100 cows in added profit!

Increased Dry Matter Intake, Efficiency
Better quality forages and grains lead to higher DMI. For each pound of additional DMI, we can expect an increase of 2 to 2.5 pounds of milk production per cow per day. Increased feed utilization will be another benefit.

Less Wasted Feed
Dairymen will have less feed to dispose of due to molds or spoilage when forages are treated with PRO-STORE.

Less Acres Needed, Less Purchased Feeds
Think of how many less acres you would need if you can increase efficiency by 10%. When you add up reduced dry matter loss, less wasted feed, and more energy in treated feeds, this is a reasonable goal!
