Pioneer® Brand 11A44

Inoculants

11A44 contains a single strain of a very effective strain of Lactobacillus buchneri which is proprietary to Pioneer. This strain normally takes up to 6 weeks to exert its full effect on maximising aerobic stability.

 

11A44 is also available in a Rapid React© formulation. 11A44 Rapid React includes a second proprietary Pioneer strain of Lactobacillus buchneri which works faster, and ensures the positive impact on aerobic stability is achieved in just 1 week 

 

 

11A44 is designed to:

• Reduce dry matter losses by 8% over untreated controls

• Reduce yeasts and moulds to just 0.1% of untreated control silages

• Maintain aerobic stability in maize and cereal wholecrop silage for longer vs treated with 5 litres of propionic acid

11A44 offers a biological solution without the health risk associated with applying acids and acid salts.

The data shows that high dry matter grass silage treated with Pioneer® 11A44 had significantly greater aerobic stability—around 160 hours—compared to propionic acid treatment (140 hours) and the untreated control (60 hours), highlighting 11A44’s superior ability to resist spoilage.
