Silage Additives

NWF Ultra Guard & Ultra Guard Plus silage additive range delivers unrivalled fermentation and stability for all crops and conditions.

NWF Ultra Guard is specially designed to optimise the fermentation process, maintain good palatability and to improve the forage digestibility in low sugar forages.

Features & Benefits

• Rapid pH drop in the silo
• Rapid inhibition of Clostridia and Enterobacteria
• Better forage digestibility
• Lower dry matter loss at the ensiling phase
• Greater nutritive value, less energy loss, less protein breakdown and better fibre degradability

NWF Ultra Guard Plus is specially designed for all higher dry matter crops to reduce losses from the presence of yeasts and moulds, and to keep silage fresh and palatable longer.

Features & Benefits

• Inhibition of yeasts and moulds
• Greater aerobic stability. Longer stability of the silage at opening, lower dry matter loss and higher protection from aerobic spoilage
• Greater feeding value. Lower nutrient loss due to aerobic challenges, higher energy value as a result of Lactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788 and improved animal performance

The NWF Sila-Guard range of silage additives helps you create silage that best suits your livestock. New grass and maize varieties create more sugar & starch and have lower fibre contents than previously. In addition to this, advancements in the way the cut material is managed, changes the crop management presenting more challenges to making great silage. The range includes additives for grass, whole crop and maize silage production, formulated to produce high quality silage with a balanced acid profile for your livestock.

NWF SILA-GUARD 50
NWF Sila-Guard 50 contains quick-acting bacteria and enzymes that convert valuable crop carbohydrates into energy for milk production. The additive has been formulated to produce high-quality silage with a balanced acid profile for your livestock.

Features
