What are Inoculants?
Are additives containing bacteria selected to grow quickly and dominate the bacterial population in the silage. Traditional inoculants contain homofermentative LAB, e.g. Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus spp., to increase lactic acid production and so increase the rate of pH drop and decrease the production of acetic and butyric acids. Newer inoculants have been developed containing bacteria proven as aerobic stability enhancers, e.g. Lactobacillus buchneri, either on their own or in combination with the traditional inoculant organisms.

Our Recommended Products
Biotal Plus ® and
Biotal Buchneri 500 ™
Biotal Plus ®
Biotal Plus contains a high rate version of the tailored enzyme component which has proven effective.
Biotal Plus combines Biotal's elite, fast and efficient lactic acid producer Pediococcus pentosaceus with an enzyme formulation tailored to direct the fermentation and a scientifically selected propionic acid producing bacterium. This unique formulation produces a balanced VFA profile of lactic, acetic and propionic acids. This eliminates spoilage bacteria (Clostridia, Listeria, Enterobacteria) and yeasts and molds that cause pH drift, heating and severe spoilage losses.
- Improved silage stability
- Better intakes
- Better in-rumen digestibility
- Less Waste
Use Biotal Plus for all your regular needs.

Biotal Buchneri 500 ™
Combining the power of Biotal Plus and Buchneri 40788 to bring you the product for all your forages. The difference is Lactobactillus buchneri 40788.
L. buchneri 40788 was originally isolated and proven effective by world leading forage scientists at the ID-DLO in Holland. In independent and commercial trials worldwide. L. buchneri 40788 has consistently reduced heating and spoilage by yeasts and molds in a range of forages. Forages are more stable, meaning less wastage, more forage to feed, better intakes and better hygienic feed quality.
Use Biotal Buchneri 500 if you have a mold or yeast problem or if you wish to greatly extend your bunk life in warm weather.
