Si-Lac Extra helps to prevent the silage from heating up at feedout. When the silage is heated, it can lose its nutritional value and become less palatable to animals
Important Application Guidelines
Always read and heed the label
For best results, SI-LAC EXTRA is applied to hay as it is baled. The inoculant mixture is sprayed from a nozzle mounted in the throat of the baler over the hay after it has been picked up prior to compaction
Ensure that applicators are properly calibrated to deliver the correct amount of SI-LAC EXTRA per bale and per tonne
Ensure that all bales are treated. If untreated hay is baled and stacked with SI-LAC EXTRA treated hay, the untreated bales may heat and cause the whole hay-stack to catch fire
