Pro-store WS is bacterial and enzymes mixed in a water soluble form. It comes in 200 gram foil packages that, when mixed with water, treat 50 tons of high moisture forage. It contains several species of bacteria to cover a broad range of harvest conditions.

When used according to ANC recommendations, 120,000 CFU's of bacteria are applied to each gram of forage. This is over 54 million CFU's per pound, or over 108 billion CFU's per ton!

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 ACIDILACTICI begin 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 and 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.

Production of acetic acid improves aerobic stability, even though acetic acid takes a little plant energy to produce. Stability tests indicate forages with higher acetic acid show greater resistance to spoilage when exposed to air, which means a longer bunk life.

GUARANTEED ANALYSIS: 27,300,000,000 CFU's per gram. Applies 120,000 CFU/gram of forage when used as directed.

INGREDIENTS: Dried Lactobacillus plantarum fermentation product, dried Pediococcus acidilactici fermentation product, dried P. pentosaceus fermentation product, dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried L. brevis fermentation product, dried L. casei fermentation product, dried Streptococcus lactis fermentation product, dried Streptococcus cremoris fermentation product, dried S. diacetylactis fermentation product, dried Bacillus subtilis fermentation extract (source of enzyme), dried Aspergillus oryzae fermentation extract (source of enzyme), maltodextrin, sodium silico aluminate, and color.

USAGE: Recommended for all types of high moisture forage. 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.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: 1 package dissolved in water should be applied to 50 tons of wet forage. This can be applied at various dilution rates depending on your application equipment. One method is to mix and dissolve 1 package of Pro-Store WS in 25 gallons of water. Apply this at the rate of 1/2 gallon per ton.

STORAGE: For maximum shelf life, store in a refrigerator or freezer. For short term storage, store under cool, dry conditions. Always use inoculant products within 1 year.

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: 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 Nel (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 silo's, piles, bags, and total mixed rations.

LESS WASTED FEED: Dairymen will have less feed to dispose of due to molds or spoilage when forages are treated with PRO-STORE!
