Pro-store WS is a silage inoculant containing bacteria and enzymes mixed in a water soluble form. It contains several species of bacteria to cover a broad range of harvest conditions.
Usage: Alfalfa and Grass Haylage, Wheatlage, Ryelage, Pealage,
Oatlage,
Sudan or Sorgum Silage, and other forages. This product may be used on Corn Silage also, but a crop-specific inoculant (Pro-Store WSC & WSB) is recommended. Pro-Store WS should be used in accordance with good silage management practices. Moisture recommendation: Not greater than 70% or lower than 50%. Use proper application equipment, and harvest and cut at proper maturity stage and length.
How does Pro-Store WS work?
- Bacteria & enzymes are combined in a potent combination to provide maximum insurance against negative fermentation factors that occur frequently during silage making. Here's what they do:
- Lactobacillus Plantarum & Casei can be active under lower pH, and are formulated to produce extremely high quantities of lactic acid, which helps preserve the energy value of the forage.
- Pediococcus Pentosaceus is a fermentation initiator that works well in cooler temperatures before the heat of fermentation occurs. Pediococcus strains extend the temperature range for good fermentation.
- Pediococcus Acidilactic begins multiplying in the first half hour of ensiling and works at a higher temperature. They reduce oxygen and shut down plant metabolism which reduces heating.
- Streptococcus & Enterococcus species help prepare the way for Lactobacillus bacteria by rapidly reducing the pH the first 10 hours of fermentation. These bacteria can stay alive in silages for many months, helping reduce spoilage if secondary fermentation occurs.
- Lactobacillus Brevis is a heterofermentor, and produces acetic acid which helps extend bunk life.
- Enzyme Activity is provided by Bacillus Subtilis and Aspergillus Oryzae. Cellulase, Xylanase & Hemicellulase aid in the breakdown of fibers to simple sugars. Amylase converts starch to simple sugars. Sugars provide energy for rapidly growing bacteria.
