In addition, the use of dry-acid products does not require HACCP registration. 83992 / Rev. 06.03.26 Aerobic stability, h Control Propionic acid Sodium benzoate Competitor 1 FRESHFOSS Premium STABILITY OF TMR 30 CAN BE IMPROVED 25 FRESHFOSS Premium was the only product to 20 significantly increase the aerobic stability of 15 TMR. The control TMR was stable for 8 h. 10 Aerobic stability of TMR treated with 5 propionic acid, sodium benzoate and Competitor 1 was very similar (11-14 h). Only FRESHFOSS Premium showed a substantial improvement (p < 0.05) in aerobic stability, keeping the ration stable for 24 hours. Effect of various additives for stabilization of TMR. The figure shows the number of hours it takes the temperature in the feed to rise with 2.5° C, relative to chamber temperature. (ref. Kristensen, N.B – SEGES, 2019) DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS TMR / Silage → 0.2–1.5 kg FRESHFOSS per ton feed Grain conservation → 1–3 kg FRESHFOSS per ton On top of open areas in bunkers → 0.25 kg FRESHFOSS/m 2 Need varies according to temperature, moisture and quality of feed.
