Extract

Previous studies conducted at Newcastle with a lactobacilli silage inoculant(Pioneer Brand 1177) had shown that when compared to an untreated control silage, the silage produced with the Inoculant had improved chemical composition. The benefits of applying the inoculant were further seen in improvements in nutritive value and voluntary food intake by sheep.
