SILAGE INOCULANTS
The use of MAGNIVA inoculants suitable for forages, with proven acidifying and anti-heating properties is an unparalleled tool, in addition to following good silage practices, to help preserve the nutritional value of proteins and limit the growth of undesirable elements.
At a time when feed accounts for 40-60% of production costs, every gram of nutrients counts. Our full range of MAGNIVA is :
MAGNIVA TITANIUM, MAGNIVA SILVER, MAGNIVA CLASSIC, MAGNIVA O and MAGNIVA FOR HAY.
This is why Semican partnered with the Lallemand company over 35 years ago in order to offer products at the cutting edge of research. Lallemand is a company recognized worldwide, which develops yeasts, among others, and
silage inoculants with an exclusive strain of bacteria which makes it an exceptionally efficient product and we offer the BEST SILAGE INOCULANTS ON THE MARKET !
MAGNIFYING SILAGE QUALITY
Take control of your silage with MAGNIVA® Forage Inoculants and achieve your performance goals with plentiful, high-quality, hygienic feeds.
Incorporating Magniva Forage Inoculants into your management program will help:
1
FEED MORE QUALITY TONNAGE
Magniva inoculants contain elite, proven strains of lactic acid bacteria that reduce dry matter (DM) loss by driving a fast, efficient fermentation to increase lactic acid production for a stable, low final pH to increase the quality and quantity of silage tonnage.
2
MAXIMIZE NUTRIENT AND FEED VALUES
By controlling front-end fermentation and maintaining aerobic stability, heating and spoilage is reduced, which makes silage more palatable. Magniva inoculants preserve the most valuable highly digestible nutrients in the silage to maximize animal performance.
3
IMPROVE FIBER DIGESTIBILITY
Magniva premier inoculants contain high activity, specific enzyme formulations that open up fiber bundles, which allows better moisture retention (less seepage) and provides the rumen microbes more access to the individual plant fibers and nutrients.
4
ENHANCE BUNK LIFE AND CONSISTENCY
Specific Magniva formulations produce more consistent silage throughout the bunk and improve feedout stability. More consistent, more stable feed makes optimizing the feed program easier.
5
IMPROVE FEED INTAKES
By driving the front-end fermentation and maintaining aerobic stability, heating and spoilage is reduced and silages are more palatable for cattle. Better quality, more stable feed helps increase intakes and production, and maintain herd health.
WHY USE AN INOCULANT?
Forage crops harvested for silage naturally contain both “good” and “bad” microorganisms.
Forage inoculants contain specific live bacteria, sometimes combined with enzymes to produce sugars as a food source.
Inoculants are applied to freshly harvested forage to inoculate it with high numbers of good microogranisms.
Good microorganisms, like lactic acid producing bacteria (LAB) that help ensile the crop.
Bad microorganisms, such as clostridia, enterobacteria, bacilli, yeast and molds that negatively affect silage quality.
Enzymes improve fiber digestibility and increase the soluble sugar content for the “good” bacteria.
Questions to ask before selecting a forage inoculant:
1
Does the silage ever get smelly and butyric or is the loss of the most digestible nutrients and DM (shrink) a concern?
If yes, then you need an inoculant that controls ensiling fermentation
2
Is it important to maximize the feed quality and digestibility during ensiling?
If yes, then you need and inoculant that enhances feed digestibility
3
Does the silage/ HMC or TMR heat? Is there any visible mold or spoilage in the silage? Do you plan to move the silage and/or plan to feed the silage during warm weather?
If yes, then you need an inoculant that increases feedout stability
OUR PROMISE TO YOU

MAXIMIZES THE VALUE OF YOUR RATION WITH MORE STABLE
MAGNIVA® Titanium combines elite lactic acid bacteria with high activity enzymes to drive a fast, hygienic ensiling fermentation and improve feed digestibility. MAGNIVA Titanium also contains the high dose rate Lentilactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788, which has been proven and approved by the CFIA to improve aerobic stability.
USED FOR
- High-moisture corn (HMC), earlage, snaplage
- Silages to be fed during warmer temperatures
- Crops exposed to challenging field conditions that can lead to yeast and mould growth
- Baleages, and haylages over 35% DM
- Corn silage above 32% DM
- Ensiled crops that will be transported or relocated
IMPROVES DRY MATTER RECOVERY AND STABILITY DURING
FEEDOUT FOR HIGHER QUALITY FEED LALLEMAND ANIMAL
MAGNIVA® Silver combines two specifically selected strains of bacteria with high activity enzymes to drive the fermentation for the fastest pH drop, reducing up-front losses and preventing spoilage fermentations, along with producing some acetic acid to reduce heating when exposed to oxygen during feedout.
USED FOR
- Grasses
- Legumes
- High moisture grains
- Whole cereal crops
- Low DM crops produced in challenging conditions
INCREASES DRY MATTER AND NUTRIENT RETENTION
FOR MORE HIGH QUALITY FEED
MAGNIVA® Classic combines elite bacteria and enzymes to help drive a fast, efficient fermentation, driving lactic acid production for a stable, low final pH to control silage quality.
USED FOR
- Corn silage
- Alfalfa and legume silages
- Grass haylage
- Cereal silages
- High-moisture corn (HMC)
DRIVES A FAST, EFFICIENT FERMENTATION
FOR MORE QUALITY FEED LALLEMAND
MAGNIVA® O combines bacteria and enzymes to USED FOR help drive a fast, efficient fermentation, for reduced dry matter losses and preservation of nutrients for more quality feed.
USED FOR
- Grass silages ensiled at 20-35% dry matter
- Barley silages ensiled at 30-35% dry matter
STOP HEATING AND SPOILAGE FOR BETTER QUALITY HAY
MAGNIVA® for Hay
includes the proven yeast and mould preventing
Lentilactobacillus buchneri NCIMB 40788 at the
hay-specific application level. In trials at Lethbridge Research
and Development Centre, MAGNIVA for Hay reduced heating,
improved digestibility and increased dry matter intake.
Hay treated with MAGNIVA for Hay was noticeably greener and more sweet smelling than hays from control and propionic acid treated bales.
USED FOR
Hay baled at elevated moisture * in:
- Small square bale
- Medium square bale
- Big square bales
- Round bales
* Consult you local MAGNIVA specialist: typically hay can be baled at 5%
higher than the levels recommended for untreated hay
