11G22
GRASS/CEREAL
SILAGE INOCULANT
Sila-Bac® brand 11G22 is a grass and cereal silage inoculant product designed to:
• Enhance fermentation in grass and whole plant cereal silage and
deliver an improved fermentation and a fermentation acid profile that minimizes aerobic dry matter losses.
• For use in grass and whole plant cereals ensiled at the proper maturity in upright, bunker or bag silos and at a dry matter between 30% and 42%.
• Prevent challenging aerobic stability situations in silage made from alfalfa and alfalfa grass mixtures.
Available as water-soluble product in packaging suitable for use in tank mixes or with the Pioneer Appli-Pro® SLV application system.
11G22 contains a unique blend of patented strains proprietary of Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus plantarum and Enterococcus faecium formulated to:
• Improve silage quality providing low terminal pH and desirable VFA profile for decreased fermentation loss and enhanced aerobic stability.
• Improve animal performance.
Registered claims in Canada:
• Improves ADF digestibility.
• Reduces growth of yeast and mould at feeding.
• Reduces heating at feeding.
• Reduces dry matter loss at feeding.

Hours before heating
Figure 1: Aerobic stability of grass silage treated with 11G22. Forage was ensiled
for 50 days and aerobic stability determined as the number of hours silage remained
cool when exposed to air under the specifications of the Honig model. Data is an
average from 26 locations.

Dry matter loss, %
Figure 2: Total dry matter loss of grass silage treated with 11G22 inoculant. Total dry matter loss is the sum of the dry matter loss during the anaerobic fermentation and that lost after exposure to oxygen under the specifications of the
Honig model. Data compiled from 19 trials.
