GrasAAT Lacto. For directly harvested grass in silos and round bales
- GrasAAT Lacto contains lactose (milk sugar). The lactose helps lactic acid bacteria develop faster. The small amount of lactose in GrasAAT Lacto functions as a power lunch for lactic acid bacteria as early as the initial phase before the grass releases its sugar or before the fermentation process begins.
- GrasAAT Lacto contains a total of approximately 73% formic acid and
1.5% lactose. - Much of the formic acid binds with sodium formate salts. This reduces caustic effects on skin and machine corrosion. Glycerol is also added for a greater degree of skin protection.
- GrasAAT Lacto has been approved as an agricultural supply product for organic agriculture from the summer of 2007 (pursuant to its label)
- The amount of sodium in grassy succulents with normal doses of GrasAAT Lacto added will tally well with recommended norms. Sodium can improve the flavour of fodder.
- GrasAAT Lacto is classified as a Skin Irritant.
- Feeding tests undertaken in the autumn of 2002 show that nutritive values increase if GrasAAT Lacto is used; castrated bulls grew 157 grams more each day when this silage additive was added to grass.
- Dosage is set at 3 litres per ton, under optimal conditions.
