Premium quality Silage Inoculant AFI (100g) for agriculture and dairy farming.
Top-rated 100g silage inoculant powders, such as PRIONS BIOTECH Silage Cult-PR, improve fermentation, boost nutrient retention, and enhance palatability for livestock.
Key Details and Benefits
- Purpose: Ideal for whole plant maize, alfalfa, and Napier grass, transforming green fodder into high-quality feed through fermentation.
- Dosage: Generally, 100g per ton or as directed by the manufacturer.
- Action: Acts by rapidly reducing silage pH, which inhibits harmful bacteria and reduces nutrient loss.
- Advantages: Increases digestibility of dry matter, improves aerobic stability (less spoilage after opening the silo), and enhances feed intake.
- Availability: Often found via specialized vendors on AGRI FUTURE INDIA.
Usage Tips: Ensure proper anaerobic conditions (tight packing) for the powder to be most effective.
What is Silage Inoculant AFI (100g)?
A Silage Inoculant AFI (100g) is a heavy-duty, UV-stabilized plastic storage bag used to ferment and preserve green fodder (such as maize, sorghum, or napier grass) under anaerobic conditions. These bags are commonly referred to as 'Murghas bags' in India and are available in capacities from 50kg to 1000kg.
Why is it important?
Silage bags are critical for Indian dairy farmers because they allow year-round availability of high-nutrition fodder. During the monsoon when green fodder is abundant, farmers can preserve large quantities in silage bags and feed their cattle during dry seasons when fodder is scarce and expensive — saving up to ₹50,000/year in feed costs.
How does it work?
Step 1: Chop fresh green fodder using a chaff cutter. Step 2: Pack the chopped fodder tightly into the silage bag to remove all air pockets. Step 3: Seal the bag hermetically. Step 4: Anaerobic bacteria naturally ferment the sugars into lactic acid, preserving the fodder for up to 12 months with 90%+ nutritional retention.
