11A44 SILAGE

INOCULANT

Pioneer® brand 11A44 is a silage inoculant product designed to:

• Improve feed intake by reducing heating and yeast/mold growth
associated with aerobic deterioration
• Reduce shrink loss during feedout
• Improve bunklife in slow-fill or slow-feedout situations
Available in water-soluble and free-flowing granular formulations for
easy and convenient application.

11A44 contains a patented strain of

Lactobacillus buchneri* formulated to:
• Increase aerobic stability in corn, grass and cereal silage plus
high-moisture corn, preserving the nutritional quality of the silage
by reducing nutrient loss to spoilage and heat-causing organisms.

L. buchneri is a lactic acid bacterium that produces a broad spectrum

of volatile fatty acids during silage fermentation, which can help to
substantially decrease the growth of yeast and mold species.

In 74 trials over three years on corn silage, grass silage,

cereal silage and high-moisture corn, 11A44 demonstrated an
8% reduction in dry matter loss compared to the uninoculated
silage. This would equate to 160 pounds of additional feed
per harvested ton.
