Pro-Store 0.3 is a forage fermentation and storage aid in dry granular form. Consisting of Lactobacillus species, Streptococcus species, Pediococcus species, and Enterococcus species, one bag will treat 150 ton of forage.

Usage: Recommended for all types of high moisture forage.  Pro-Store 0.3 should be used in accordance with good silage management practices. Recommended moisture for forages is over 60% moisture. Use proper application equipment, harvest and cut at proper maturity stages and length.

Benefits & Economic$ of Pro-Store Inoculants:

• Reduce dry matter loss: By reducing dry matter loss by 4%, there are 40 tons of additional forage in a 1000 ton bunker. Haylage testing at 65% moisture and 20% protein, using a value of $43/ton = $1720. This alone is worth double the cost of purchasing Pro-Store for this 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 temperatures and harvesting conditions can cause significant fluctuation in bacterial levels. Feeding treated forages reduces production drop when switching to different silo's or bunkers!
• Increased dry matter intake and feed efficiency: Better quality forages and grains lead to higher DMI. For each 1 pound of additional DMI we can expect an increase of 2 to 2.5 pounds of milk production per cow per day.
• 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 NE_L (0.64 to 0.67) is worth approximately $550/month/100 cows in added profit!
• Longer bunk life: Forages treated with Pro-Store undergo a stable fermentation which reduces free nitrogen ammonia 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 after removal. This is especially critical on farms with bunker silos, piles, bags, and total mixed rations.
• Less wasted feed: Dairy farmers will have less feed to dispose of due to molds or spoilage when forages are treated with Pro-Store!

Ingredients: Calcium carbonate, potassium sorbate, butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT), diatomaceous earth, roughage products, dried Lactobacillus plantarum fermentation product, dried Pediococcus acidilactici fermentation product, dried Pediococcus  pentosaceus fermentation product, dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus brevis fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus casei fermentation product, dried Streptococcus lactis fermentation product, dried Streptococcus cremoris fermentation product, dried Streptococcus diacetylactis fermentation product, dried Bacillus subtilis fermentation extract (source of enzyme), dried Aspergillus oryzae fermentation extract (source of enzyme), whey, sodium silico aluminate.

Guaranteed Analysis & Packaging: Pro-Store 0.3 is available in 45 lb. bags. One (1) bag will treat 150 tons of forage. Each bag is foil lined and heat sealed with a double paper exterior. Pro-Store 0.3 contains 466,700,000,000 CFU’s per pound and applies 154,000 CFU’s bacteria per gram of treated forage.

Application: One (1) 45 lb. bag of Pro-Store 0.3 will treat 150 tons of forage (0.30 lb./ton).

All forages need to be from 55% - 70% moisture. For forages harvested at lower moisture levels, a higher rate per ton may be necessary. Doubling the application may help insure minimum inoculation rates but still may not overcome the increased risk of oxygen penetration due to reduced packing.

Storage: For maximum shelf life, store Pro-Store 0.3 in sealed bags or sealed 5 gallon buckets in a cool, dry area. Always try and use inoculant products within 1 year.  For carry over to the next year, store in a freezer.
