Pioneer® Brand 11CH4
Inoculants
11CH4 is a revolutionary product with patent protection suitable for a wide range of high dry matter silages destined for biogas use.
Its unique fibre technology enhances fibre digestibility by unlocking nutrients and releasing energy, significantly increasing methane production from grass and silages compared to conventional acetic acid releasing bacteria.
Research has highlighted that use of 11CH4 increases methane yield by 8% whilst at the same time improving aerobic stability and reducing silage losses by 50%.
11CH4 is designed to:
- Significantly increase methane production from grass and silages compared to conventional acetic acid releasing bacteria.
- Unlock nutrients and release energy:
Stage 1 - During ensiling specially selected bacteria of the strain Lactobacillus buchneri LN40177 release ferulate esterase enzymes that are able to decouple lignified cell wall bondings thereby unlocking nutrients and releasing energy
Stage 2 - Degradation of the “pre-digested“ fibre components by microorganisms in the fermenter; because of this, utilisation of decoupled fibre components is greatly improved.
