ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an ensiling agent which contains, based on the total quantity of active ingredients, a mixture of from 50 to 90% by weight of salts of formic acid and from 10 to 50% by weight of hexamethylene tetramine or other compounds which slowly and continuously release formaldehyde during the fermentation of fodder plants.
The invention further provides a process for the fermentation of fodder plants in which from 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of an ensiling agent based on the weight of green fodder, is added to the material which is to be ensiled, the proportion of hexamethylene tetramine or other compounds which slowly and continuously release formaldehyde during fermentation, not exceeding 0.1% by weight, based on the weight of green fodder.
Such ensiling agents are useful for fermenting fodder plants, in particular these which are difficult to convert into silage.
