TMR wrapping

You may want to contact Pennfield Feeds, Lancaster, PA USA. They sell a dry TMR which they call Forage Extender. It is chopped Alfalfa Hay from Larsen Farms, Dubois, ID USA mixed with steamed flaked corn, soy and other ingredients. Because it is a dry mixture there is no problem with mold.

Hi, If you can send us a sample we will try to measure its water activity to predict whether your product is stable or prone to microbiological spoilage. Best regards, Petar Vulkov

In response to your question Micron Bio Systems manufactures a dry granular ammonium proprionate which is suitable for this purpose. For example I know of one exporter from the UK who sends haylage to Japan and treats with this product prior to wrapping.The Product referred to is Profreah Plus.

We published a technical article called Achieving Mold Growth Control on this site on 09/28/2009 which you can find by clicking on our showcase and then technical articles. I think you will find this illuminating about the different types of mold inhibition achieved and sets out the case for the benefits of buffered propionic acid very well.

Hi Friends, stabilising TMR has been an discussion for long. My company has therefor launched a product for short term preservation of TMR, namely KOFA TMR. More information you can find on site. The product can help you to stabilise TMR if wrapped in bales and also in the feeders. As we all know, not all TMR is consumed imideately and as such, time, water, salive... will favour spoilage and related health risk.
