2010 Indiana Corn Silage Trial (35 days fermented)
The higher the yeast and mold counts, the more likely feed is to go bad. In this study BULLETPROOF® again proves its value in helping reduce lost silage.
Alfalfa Research
A recent study tracked three, 20-ton bags of first-cutting alfalfa: one left untreated, one treated with acid and one treated with BULLETPROOF®. Each bag or treatment was fermented for 82 days and the remaining haylage was weighed.
Results showed the BULLETPROOF® treatment had a lower yeast and mold growth compared to other treatments, resulting in the least DM loss.

BULLETPROOF® helps producers significantly reduce dry matter loss and retain more silage for livestock.
BULLETPROOF® helps preserve silage in silos or bunkers, adding up to less feed loss over the year. In this study, silage treated with BULLETPROOF® retained at 98.59% after 82 days in storage, performing much better than the other options.
