MANAGING FORAGE QUALITY THROUGH MICROBIAL FERMENTATION
Ensiled forages represent a major share of daily intake for most ruminants, making silage quality a key driver of animal nutrition, performance, and well-being. Controlled fermentation plays a central role in preserving nutrients and limiting losses, ensuring consistent feed quality throughout the year.
As an expert in fermentation, Lallemand Animal Nutrition develops targeted silage inoculants to support effective forage preservation. By guiding the fermentation process at ensiling, these solutions promote rapid acidification, protect dry matter, and preserve the nutritional value of a wide range of crops, including corn, grasses, and legumes.
Maintaining stability at feedout is equally important. By improving aerobic stability, our solutions help reduce heating and limit the growth of spoilage microorganisms such as yeasts and molds. Selecting the right inoculant for each forage and situation allows producers to reduce nutrient losses from field to feedout, supporting animal efficiency, well-being, and overall farm performance.
