Ecosyl and Ecocool, the world’s most proven silage inoculants

Ecosyl 100 contains a special strain of bacteria, MTD/1, which is only found in the Ecosyl range of silage additives. MTD/1 is recognised by silage experts worldwide to have more supporting trial data behind it than any other inoculant. It has been thoroughly proven over a wide range of crops and ensiling conditions to improve fermentation and animal performance.

The Ecosyl research team focused its efforts on improving product formulation with the aim of making Ecosyl more versatile for the user whilst maintaining all the performance benefits. Several key innovative breakthroughs resulted in the development of Ecosyl 100.

  • For liquid or dry application in big 100t packs – less mixing and packaging
  • Versatile liquid application – standard or ULV
  • Low-rate dry application – excellent coverage with fewer stops Can be applied with any applicator on any harvester – more versatile
  • Two-year shelf life in a cool dry place – the ultimate in quality

Ecosyl 100

Ecosyl 100 is ideal for a wide range of crops and ensiling conditions. It contains a special strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, MTD/1, unique to Volac, with characteristics that make it particularly effective for use as a silage inoculant. It produces large amounts of lactic acid quickly and efficiently and is effective over a wide range of pH, temperature and dry matters. It is active throughout the whole fermentation process so, unlike most strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, additional helper strains are not required to start the fermentation. This also means that all of the bacteria applied are active immediately.

  • For liquid or dry application in big 100t packs – less mixing and packaging
  • Versatile liquid application – standard or ULV
  • Liquid product can be applied direct to sward or rows with a lance before pickup if contractor is unable or unwilling to apply it
  • Low-rate dry application – excellent coverage with fewer stops Can be applied with any applicator on any harvester – more versatile
  • Two-year shelf life in a cool dry place – the ultimate in quality
