* Rapid React® aerobic stability† technology
** Patented, proprietary and unique L. buchneri strain found only in Nutrivail® feed technology products proven to improve rate of fibre digestibility
† Improved aerobic stability and reduced heating is relative to untreated silage. Actual results may vary. The effect of any silage inoculant is dependent upon management at harvest, storage and feedout. Factors such as moisture, maturity, chop length and compaction will determine inoculant efficacy.
