Silosolve FC is a high-performance bacterial silage inoculant developed to improve aerobic stability and reduce dry matter (DM) loss across a wide range of forage crops. Designed for modern dairy, sheep and beef systems, it helps reduce spoilage losses and maintain feed quality from clamp to feed trough.

What It Does:

Silosolve FC contains selected strains of lactic acid bacteria that support a fast, efficient fermentation. By encouraging the right fermentation profile, it helps:

• Rapidly lower pH during ensiling
• Suppress yeast and mould growth
• Reduce heating when silage is exposed to air
• Preserve more usable nutrients
  

The key advantage is improved stability at feed-out, meaning silage stays cooler and more palatable for longer.

Key Benefits:

• Improved aerobic stability – helps minimise heating and secondary fermentation
• Better dry matter retention – protects the tonnes you’ve harvested
• Reduced visible spoilage – lower risk of mould development
• Early opening flexibility – suitable where silage may need to be fed sooner
• Broad crop suitability – effective on grass, maize, wholecrop and alfalfa

For farms where feed-out losses affect performance or margins, these benefits can translate directly into improved efficiency.

Where It Performs Best

Silosolve FC is particularly valuable in situations where:

• Clamp faces are large or feed-out rates are slower
• Crops are ensiled at higher dry matter
• Warm weather increases the risk of heating
• Spoilage has previously reduced intakes
  

It’s widely suited to both dairy and beef enterprises aiming to maintain consistent ration quality.

Application & Use

• Supplied as a water-soluble powder
• Applied via a standard applicator system during harvesting or clamping
• Commonly available in sachets treating up to 100 tonnes (check pack specification)
• Once mixed, solution should be used within 24–48 hours
  

As with any silage additive, performance depends on good silage-making fundamentals — rapid filling, thorough consolidation and airtight sealing remain essential.

Overall Verdict

Silosolve FC is a dependable, well-balanced inoculant for producers focused on reducing aerobic losses and protecting feed value. Its strength lies in improving clamp stability while also supporting dry matter preservation.

For farmers looking for cooler, more stable silage and greater confidence at feed-out, Silosolve FC is a practical and cost-effective choice.
