Inoculants

Forage Inoculants

Lallemand silage inoculants for hay and corn silage are specially designed for forage crops. Their acidifying action and anti‑heating properties help improve silage fermentation and stability, resulting in higher‑quality silage and increased herd productivity, when combined with proper silage management practices. Magniva silage inoculants help preserve protein nutritional value and reduce proteolysis in grass and legume silages. At a time when feed represents 40 to 60% of total production costs, every gram of nutrient matters. Choose the most effective hay and corn silage preservatives on the market to protect your forage investment and support consistent animal performance.

Inoculants Forage Inoculants

Platinum

Combines three elite lactic acid bacteria strains (Pediococcus pentosaceus NCIMB 12455, Lentilactobacillus hilgardii CNCM I‑4785, and Lentilactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788), along with highly active enzymes to rapidly lower pH, reduce dry matter losses, improve nutrient retention, and ensure fast and long‑lasting aerobic stability, starting as early as 15 days after ensiling.

Titanium

Combines highly effective lactic acid bacteria with high-activity enzymes to promote rapid and hygienic silage fermentation, thereby improving feed digestibility. Contains Lentilactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788, a high-dose component whose ability to improve aerobic stability has been approved by CFIA.

Inoculants Forage Inoculants

Silver

Combines two specifically selected bacterial strains with high-activity enzymes to stimulate fermentation, leading to the fastest pH drop, thereby reducing initial losses and preventing the deterioration of fforage quality.

Classic

Combines highly effective bacteria and enzymes to promote rapid fermentation while stimulating lactic acid production for a stable, low final pH, thereby controlling silage quality.

O (Organic Certified)

Combines bacteria and enzymes that promote rapid and effective fermentation to reduce dry matter losses and preserve nutrients, resulting in a greater quantity of higher-quality feed.

For Hay

Contains Lentilactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788, proven effective in preventing the formation of yeasts and molds in hay-specific applications. It helps reduce heating, improve digestibility, and increase dry matter intake. Hay treated with Magniva for Hay is visibly greener, softer, and dust-free.
