How to Use
Optimize Your Silage
John Paul from the Precision team outlines dilution options for applying Precision Silage. Use our reckoner below to accurately calculate dose rates and volume required.
Dosing rates
Ensure optimal silage preservation and nutrition with precise dosing. Choose the right application for better fermentation and feed stability!
| - | Dose | Dilution Rate to ensile |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra Low Dose | 100ml per tonne | Ready to use |
| Standard Dose | 1-2L per tonne | 10% (1L PM + 9L water) |
Calculating Volume
| - | Tonnes/Acre | Ultra Low Dosing | Standard Dosing Easy To Ensile (PRE-DILUTION) | Standard Dosing Difficult To Ensile (PRE-DILUTION) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Cut - Heavy | 8 - 12 t | 0.8L - 1.2L/Acre | 0.8L - 1.2L/Acre | 1.6L - 2.4L/Acre |
| First Cut - Light | 5 - 7 t | 0.5L - 0.7L/Acre | 0.5L - 0.7L/Acre | 1L - 1.4L/Acre |
| Second Cut | 5 - 8 t | 0.5L - 0.8L/Acre | 0.5L - 0.8L/Acre | 1L - 1.6L/Acre |
| Skipped Paddock | 3 - 6 t | 0.3 - 0.6L/Acre | 0.3 - 0.6L/Acre | 0.6 - 1.2L/Acre |
Standard dosing: 10% dilution with water

Frequently Asked Questions
Discover how Precision Microbes silage optimizes fermentation, enhances preservation, and improves feed quality for better results.
What sets Precision Silage apart from traditional inoculants?
Precision Silage contains live, active microbes rather than dormant bacteria, enzymes, or chemical preservatives. This allows for immediate fermentation, better preservation, and improved silage quality.
How does Precision Silage improve fermentation?
The active microbial strains rapidly reduce pH levels, ensuring a fast and efficient fermentation process. This results in less nutrient loss and better stability of the silage.
What are the main benefits of using Precision Silage?
- Excellent preservation.
- Highly palatable forage.
- Lowers pH.
- Reduced spoilage and mould growth.
- Reduced dry matter losses.
How is Precision Silage applied?
It is applied as a liquid spray during the harvesting process, ensuring even distribution throughout the forage. Please see application rates above.
How quickly does it start working after application?
Will it reduce heating and spoilage in silage?
How does it compare to chemical preservatives like propionic acid?
Unlike chemical preservatives, which inhibit microbial activity, Precision Silage enhances natural fermentation while still helping to prevent spoilage.
Are the microbes safe for livestock and the environment?
Yes, they are naturally occurring, non-GMO, DAFM certified and completely safe for animals and the environment
