Novel TOP STOP™ is a combination of a chemical ingredient along with a unique oxygen scavenging microbial inoculant that work together dramatically reduce the growth of yeasts and molds in the top layer of spoilage. The combination is mixed on the farm with water and then sprayed on to the surface the silage before the plastic is applied.
Research shows that if you can see some surface spoilage you have real losses of 20-40% of dry matter in the top surface.
The benefit of Novel TOP STOP™ is a massive reduction in spoilage organisms (mold, yeast and enterobacteria) and an improvement in dry matter recovery in the top layer of the silage. The results are undeniable.
Below are samples from 38% DM Corn Silage in Idaho. The lab results show a dramatic change in DM and ash which are both signs of large losses. The Anti-Nutrients section shows just how contaminated this silage is if left untreated.
Fortunately, the above results can be avoided by simply applying Novel TOP STOP™ on the silage before covering with plastic. Below are samples from the same 38% DM Corn Silage in Idaho but they were treated first with Novel TOP STOP™. The lab results show a clearly show a massive reduction in surface spoilage and contamination that can be eliminated from the silage.
