Accesses all the sugars available in grass
Grass contains two types of sugar – simple and complex. Glucose, Fructose and Sucrose are simple sugars and Fructan is a complex sugar. In normal conditions over 50% of the sugars in grass are complex and in poor conditions they can make up to 85%.
The bacteria in Powerstart, AberF1, can access 100% of both the simple and complex sugars. The AberF1 bacteria convert a portion of the sugar in the grass solely into lactic acid.
Improves fermentation
The speed of a Powerstart fermentation means that more of the quality nutrients are conserved and ammonia levels are negligible.
This formation efficiency means more sugar is preserved for the cow to benefit from and because the only product of the fermentation is lactic acid, intake potential is maximised.
The result is a Powerstart treated silage that cows love to eat! They eat more and perform better, both in terms of production and reproduction.
Easy to use and ready for application in just a few hours.
