Support fermentation
Lactic acid bacteria and yeast work during ensiling to support forage conservation.
Help limit heating
Support aerobic stability when the silage is opened and exposed to air.
Use across your silage crops
One product for grass, maize, wholecrop and other crops made into silage, following the recommended application guidance.
Good silage needs to stay good at feed-out
Harvesting is only part of the job. Once silage is exposed to air, heating and spoilage can undo the work you put into growing and conserving it.
EM Silage® supports fermentation and helps limit heating after opening. Its liquid formulation contains lactic acid bacteria and yeast, bringing a practical approach to managing silage from harvest through to feeding
More than twice the aerobic stability in a Harper Adams grass silage trial.
EM Silage-treated ryegrass remained aerobically stable for 331 hours, compared with 164 hours for untreated silage.
The grass was harvested at 37% dry matter and ensiled for 100 days before testing.

Ready to use
EM - Silage contains a carefully selected mix of Effective Micro-organisms (EM) chosen specifically to improve silage conservation. This is achieved by using a unique combination of microbes held in suspension allowing EM - Silage to get to
work instantly.
EM - Silage contains a mix of Effective Microorganisms (EM) carefully selected to enhance the fermentation process of forage crops. The Microorganisms included are two types of Lactic acid bacteria and yeast, which, during the ensiling process not only accelerate pH decline but also produce a number of bio-active substances.
The added yeast produces propylene glycol in the clamp and is then available itself in the rumen. The Lactic Acid bacteria converts cellulose and glucose into volatile fatty acids as well as improving aerobic stability.
The microbes within EM Silage are suspended in liquid allowing them to start working as soon as they come into contact with the forage. The handy Bag in a Box (BiB) means you only use what additive you need, saving the rest for later in the year. EM Silage can be used on grass, maize, whole crop even crimped grain with the same benefits and quality end product.
