SILO GUARD II® Dry Forage Treatment
Profile
Silo Guard II® is a unique patented approach to the treatment of forage. This product, which contains enzymes and sulfur compounds, acts very differently than any other forage additive. In addition to being a catalyst to enhance good fermentation, Silo Guard II®reduces the spoilage caused by undesirable bacteria yeasts and molds. This product is effective on all types of silages, high moisture grains and baled hay.
About the Product
How Does Silo Guard II® Work?
The ingredients included in Silo Guard II® each have a role to play. The amylase enzymes convert the available starch in the ensiled materials to sugars. The sulfur compounds also play an important role by producing gases within the mass of silage. These gases limit plant cell respiration and reduce the number of undesirable bacteria, yeasts and molds. This process saves the available sugars for the lactic acid producing bacteria when they begin to multiply.
Use Good Silo Management
Good silage management is within the control of the silage producer. No product can replace the procedures the producer must follow to make good silage. In the process of ensiling, air is the mortal enemy. The oxygen in the air is mixed into the forage as it is chopped and will cause complete biological burning.

In the process of ensiling, air is the mortal enemy. The oxygen in the air is mixed into the forage as it is chopped and will cause complete biological burning.
Three factors in reducing trapped air:
1st - Crops harvested should contain 60 to 70 percent moisture to ensure a good pack.
2nd - A chop of 3/8” to 1/2” tends to pack tighter and avoid air space.
3rd - Silos need to be filled rapidly.
Use Silo Guard II® as a management tool to improve fermentation.
During the conversion of moist forage into silage in the silo, valuable nutrients are lost during any fermentation, even with good silage management. The goal is to preserve as much of these nutrients as possible. To accomplish this, the time of the fermentation process must be decreased. The use of a proven additive can help achieve these goals.
Why Use Silo Guard II®?
Treating forage with Silo Guard II® significantly reduces heating due to the presence of unwanted air in the forage. This heating is caused by molds, yeasts and undesirable bacteria which thrive in the presence of air. The damage caused by these organisms can result in losses during the fermentation stage and at feedout.
With Silo Guard II® treated forage, the following results can be observed: less shrink and cooler forage. University research proves that forage treated with Silo Guard II® contains more valuable nutrients. In beef feeding trials and milk trials, the Silo Guard II® treated forage, when compared to untreated forage, has been shown to improve feed efficiency, weight gain, and daily milk yield. These results have been observed with the treatment of various silages and baled hay.
The product is easy to use -- same formula every time, no messy liquid mixture, or special handling. Manual or mechanical application available.
When to Use Silo Guard II®?
Use on both silage and hay. Silo Guard II® has been tested at universities on various silages and on hay up to 25 percent. Results show a significant improvement in dry matter recovery and dry matter intake.
- All types of ensiled forages: grass/alfalfa silage, corn silage, oatlage, wheat silage.
- High moisture ground grains.
- High moisture hay (up to 25%): alfalfa/grass hay, bermuda hay.
- Processed feed.
