KOFASIL LAC approval in China

A new silage inoculant has been successfully registered in China.
Kofasil Lac, a silage inoculant, based on Addcon´s patented Lactobacilus plantarum strains has been successfully registered in China. The well tested strains offer very fast acidification of grass and alfalfa silages and optimizes the fermentation quality of those silages.
Alfalfa and leguminous plants are increasingly widely cultivated inChina. In addition the industry is furthermore facing storage problems after harvesting, which may lead to protein-loss and deterioration. ADDCON decided therefore to introduce another eco-effective product to China, Kofasil Lac, to produce the best quality silage. After stringent testing and assessment it got the approval by Chinese ministry of agriculture (MoA). 
In comparison to Kofasil S, which is a heterofermentative bacterial preparation and suitable for silage made from Maize & Maize products, KOFASIL® LAC is a solid homofermentative bacterial preparation, which is used to improve fermentation quality and to enhance the fermentation process of silages made from easy-to-ensile and moderately difficult-to-ensile forages (grass, legumes, and whole-crop cereals) in the optimal DM range between 25-45%.
Kofasil Lac contains 2 specially selected/isolated from nature, non-GM strains of the lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum. The both highly osmotolerant homofermentative lactic acid bacteria strains are characterized by fast acidification, high acid tolerance, efficient utilization of a wide range of sugars and high activity at different temperatures. After inoculation the product causes a rapid and significant decline in pH by formation of lactic acid, undesired spoilage micro-organisms, e.g. clostridia and enterobacteria, are thereby sustainable inhibited.  Treating forage crops with KOFASIL LAC results in preventing loss of nutrients, enhancing high-performance of cattle and feeding hygienic.
