Product Details
Putting up next year’s feed is serious business! We have carefully selected an effective array of amylase, cellulase and hemicellulase enzymes necessary to break down plant constituents that aid in the speed and completeness of fermentation. Furthermore, LIRA GOLD Dry Silage Inoculant has specifically chosen bacterial species and strains that have proven valuable in crop fermentation!
The results are (1) less nutrient loss, (2) lower fermentation temperature, (3) more digestible feedstuffs, and (4) increased nutrient availability.
Recognizing that growers have choices and truly want the most value for their money, we have developed both forms of our silage inoculant to provide ensiled feedstuffs that are consistent, effective, affordable, and have the potential to generate the greatest profit.

Cut and wilt forage during favorable weather conditions. Harvest forage or grain at ideal maturity and at the proper moisture levels:
| Corn and Sorghum Silage | 60-75% |
| Haylage and Small Grain Silage | 55-70% |
| High Moisture Grains (ground ear, rolled or cracked) | 28-32% |
Always use a moisture meter if possible. Chop to optimum length (1/4 to 3/8 inch cut). For lower moisture silage, a finer chop is needed to ensure better packing. Add LIRA GOLD® Dry Silage Inoculant uniformly at proper usage levels. Ensile the forage as quickly as possible. Pack well and seal or cover securely.
Usage Levels:
| Inoculation Rate | ||
| Corn and Sorghum Silage | 1 lb/ton | 150,000 CFU*/g of forage |
| Haylage (alfalfa) | 1 lb/ton | 150,000 CFU/g of forage |
| Grass Silage (clover, timothy, brome, orchard) | 1 lb/ton | 150,000 CFU/g of forage |
| Small Grain Silage (oats, wheat, barley, rye) | 1 lb/ton | 150,000 CFU/g of forage |
| High Moisture Grain (ground ear, rolled or cracked) | 2 lb/ton | 300,000 CFU/g of forage |
