ABOUT SILOSOLVE® FC
The key to preserving silage is the removal of oxygen from the clamp. SiloSolve® FC works differently to other inoculants by removing oxygen in a matter of hours, thereby saving valuable nutrients while also inhibiting yeasts and moulds. As a result, it kickstarts the fermentation process in the right direction across all conventional forage crops.
fEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Early opening, after just 7 days
- For use on all crop types and dry matters
- More milk from forage
- Inhibits up to 98% of yeasts and moulds
- Improves dry matter retention
- Improves aerobic stability by up to 218 hours
- Improves NDF digestibility by 10% – more energy
UNTREATED VS SILOSOLVE® FC
A curious farmer with two silage clamps decided to treat one with SiloSolve® FC while leaving the other untreated. So, if you’ve ever wondered whether silage additives really make a difference, watch the full video to see the entire process, including a cow taste test and the surprising results captured four months after oxygen exposure!

WHAT DO FARMERS SAY ABOUT SILOSOLVE® FC?
“We sealed it straight away, and the day after we were using the maize, and it was stone cold. I felt it was better than previous products that I’ve used…I’m getting more milk than I was this time last year.“
– Stephen Moore, Dairy Farmer
“We opened the clamp two week after making it, and it were completely cold. Top were clean, sides were clean. We’ve fed everything, didn’t pick nothing out. Troughs were clean morning after.”
– Tom Roberts, Dairy Farmer
“When we’ve opened them up two days after silaging, they’ve been nice and cold. In my costings, the milk from forage has improved by a couple litres, so that was excellent. There’s been less waste on top of the clamps.”
– Andrew Furnival, Dairy Farmer
WHAT BACTERIA IS INSIDE SILOSOLVE® FC?
The first bacteria, Lactococcus lactis (O-224), rapidly removes oxygen from the clamp, a process that takes only 6 hours! As a result, the silage fermentation is stabilised very quickly with a low level of lactic acid. Additionally, the oxygen removal ensures that spoilage organisms, yeasts and moulds are unable to grow.
The second bacteria in SiloSolve FC, Lactobacillus buchneri (LB1819), produces acetic acid to eliminate any remaining yeasts and moulds, thereby protecting the feed value in the forage, meaning more energy and protein are available for milk or meat production.
The combined effects of these unique bacteria strains mean that the silage rapidly stabilises, and the clamp can be opened and fed in just 7 days!
Watch the quick video to see why this silage additive is different to any other.
NOT CONVINCED? HERE'S THE SCIENCE
Developed by Novonesis (formerly Chr Hansen), a global biotech leader, SiloSolve® FC is backed by €4.5 million in research, peer-reviewed studies and real-world trials.

SiloSolve® FC improves aerobic stability while improving dry matter recovery
SiloSolve® FC is a unique, dual-action inoculant that improves aerobic stability and at the same time improves dry matter recovery over a broad range of dry matter and forages. While SiloSolve® FC increased aerobic stability up to 30 days in university trials, dry matter recovery across crops was improved an average of 3.5% points compared to untreated silages.
SiloSolve® FC improves stability - even at early feed out
Review of the literature indicates that L. buchneri normally produces acetic acid after 56 days of ensiling. With SILOSOLVE® FC, acetic acid production has been observed on day 2 of ensiling maize silage and as a result improved aerobic stability even after a short fermentation time. In alfalfa silage aerobic stability was improved by 13 days.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is SiloSolve® FC suitable for organic farms?
Yes, SiloSolve® FC is organic certified by The Soil Association and OF&G.
Which crops can SiloSolve® FC be used on?
SiloSolve® FC is suitable for all forage crops, including wholecrop, maize, small grain, grasses and alfalfa/grass mixtures.
How is SiloSolve® FC different to other silage additives?
SiloSolve® FC is unlike any other additive. It contains a unique patented combination of bacteria strains known as Oxycap® Technology, exclusive to Novonesis (formerly Chr Hansen).
Oxycap® Technology removes oxygen from the clamp within hours, preserving nutrients and reducing yeasts and moulds.
Therefore, SiloSolve® FC is the only silage additive that allows for early clamp opening in just 7 days.
Is SiloSolve® FC suitable for ultra low volume?
Yes, it is suitable for ultra low volume and standard harvester applicators.
Can SiloSolve® FC be used for big bales?
Yes, SiloSolve® FC is suitable for big bales, as well as silage clamps.
Isn’t silage supposed to have a lot of lactic acid?
More lactic acid can lead to faster heating and spoilage of silage after opening, as well as multiple health issues in the cow.
How widely are SiloSolve® silage inoculants used?
Recent data shows us that this particular product covers 40-50 million treated tonnes worldwide and counting. That’s around 3.5 million cows!
