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.

MICROZYME SLURRY TREATMENT
MicroZyme Slurry Treatment contains a mixture of specifically screened and selected strains of bacteria selected for their capability to break down fibre, starch, pectins, fats and protein residues over a wide range of temperatures.
Their action reduces odour levels and preserves fertilizer value by converting odiferous components into bacterial protein or suppressing the activities of indigenous odour producing bacteria.
A cocktail of concentrated degradative enzymes is included to ensure that MicroZyme begins working the moment it is added. MicroZyme is formulated with micronutrients and growth stimulants to ensure rapid activation once the product is added to liquid manure.
• Reduces odour (H2S and NH3) in animal manure
• Liquefies slurry, thereby minimising sediment and crusting
• Retains and preserves nitrogen and fertiliser value of slurry
• Improves animal comfort in slatted housing
• Easier to comply with authorities and neighbours
