Technology: Hilgardii: New name in silage inoculants
Biotal has announced the arrival of Lactobacillus Hilgardii, a significant technological advance for the UK company which has been at the forefront of research into effective preservation and utilisation of forages for over 25 years.
Their discovery of the L Buchnerii bacteria in the 1980s delivered a new generation of silage inoculants to reduce waste and improve feed quality, and was a big factor in the acquisition of Biotal in 2001 by Lallemand Animal Nutrition, a primary worldwide manufacturer and supplier of inoculants which have bacteria and enzymes for rapid initial silage acidification (preservation), stability and palatability.
