Biomin® BioStabil Plus is the flagship of the BioStabil product range. The formulation has the right amount and the right types of homo- and heterofermentative bacteria (Table 1) to deliver all the desired outcomes, including preservation of energy. The formulation contains the rapid growing lactic-acid-producing homofermentative strain L. plantarum dsm-firmenich 19457, which ensures sufficient lactic acid production for a rapid pH drop in ensiled forage and secures the protection of dry matter, energy and protein losses in the fermentation period.

Biomin® BioStabil Plus also contains L. kefiri dsm-firmenich 19455 with another selected heterofermentative strain L. brevis dsm-firmenich 23231, which produce a sufficient acetic acid to provide enhanced aerobic stability in the feed out phase. The combination, containing one homofermentative and two heterofermentative strains also protects against the growth of undesirable bacteria like Clostridia, yeasts and molds during and after ensiling, helping prevent loss of valuable dry matter, energy and protein from the silage.

One reason for providing a range of strains is to help ensure that Biomin® BioStabil Plus is effective on a wide variety of forage types and conditions such as moisture and temperature.
