Subject of the patent 1,082,486 is a salt of sulfurous acid containing Siliermittelgemisch, which is characterized by a mixture of primary and secondary alkali metal salts of sulfurous acid in such amounts of the individual components of the mixture that the _pH value of an aqueous solution of the mixture in the range of about 5.0 and about 7.0. According to the invention, molasses and / or water-soluble carbohydrates are added in solid form to this silage additive.

The fermentation process when converting fresh green fodder into silage juice fodder can be known influence by gaseous, liquid or spreadable silage additives, with either growth the undesired bacterial strains weakened or the desired growth of the lactic acid bacteria should be promoted.

It has been suggested to ferment the fresh green fodder by adding good texture to silage from 0.2 to 0.5% primary sulfite to favor. This is due to the bactericidal effect of the sulfur dioxide split off during the reaction with carbon dioxide in the presence of water and of the dissolved sulfite ion both the undesired bacteria and the lactic acid bacteria attacked and stunted in their growth. That fermentation occurs when sulfites are used as a silage additive nevertheless mostly runs in the desired direction, is based on the ability of the lactic acid bacteria to to recover more quickly by digesting and consuming certain carbohydrates and plant sugars and multiply faster than the undesirable strains of bacteria.

According to a further suggestion, the forage containing sugar is added to the forage to control the ensiling process Added substances that should specifically promote the growth of lactic acid bacteria. Here the harmful bacteria are overgrown, provided that they are not too numerous or that the added sugar does not become a source of nutrients for harmful microorganisms through mold. When using sugar, about ten times the amount is required to control fermentation the amount of primary sulfites, d. that is, about 3 to 5% of the weight of the feed stick is required. This is generally an exclusive use of the relatively expensive Crystal or feed sugar in the way. The addition of liquid molasses, the consists of about 50% sugar, 20% water, 20% organic non-sugar substances and 10% ash. Sugar and non-sugar substances (dextrin, silage mix

However, because of the viscosity of molasses, adding it is not easy. This requires either certain devices or dissolving in a considerable amount of water and pouring it in considerable volume of liquid to the feed stock. Since around 30 to 40 kg of molasses per ton of fresh feed, dissolved in 100 to 200 liters of water, the application of molasses is not only necessary inhibiting dissolution - this requires the carrying of large vats and water - but there is also a highly undesirable flooding of the green fodder in the silo with the sticky, diluted liquid that humans and animals use when pulping the feed becomes extremely annoying. In addition, the silo juice drainage increases unpleasantly. Also remains not much of the molasses, which increases the feed value per se, in the feed because most of the solution already runs into the silo sump during ensiling and seeps away. Another inconvenience is Occasional foaming over of the covered silo as a result of excessive alcoholic or lactic acid fermentation of the molasses-containing feed or juice.

In the German patent 870 056, for example, a so-called articulated fermentation is described, in which the steering is controlled by the addition

Suitable and for this purpose cultivated lactic acid bacteria ■ come from.

In the German patent specification 823 084 an ensiling process is described in which the stored Green plants are treated with an aqueous acid. The feed in the silo is fed with a large Amount of acidic liquid covered to a rapid collapse of the feed stick and a to produce more uniform lactic acid fermentation with absolute displacement of air. This silage aid only remains in the silo for a short time and is later withdrawn completely. A similar process is described in British patent specification 479437. Here, too, an aqueous acid solution is used short residence time in the feed stock. The substances contained in the liquid will be washed out through the silo sump and therefore ineffective. This process is particularly characterized by this reinforces that the acid makes the cell walls of the plants permeable and the escaping cell water promotes the natural run-off and washing out of the additive.

In contrast, the mixture according to the invention is a scatterable product. However, it is not limited to sugar or sugary additives, but basically all carbohydrates used, which serve the remaining lactic acid bacteria for nutrition.

The amount of dry, growth-promoting substances such as caster sugar, dextrin or dry molasses, in the silage mixture are expediently 3 to 25 percent by weight and in particular 5 to 15 percent by weight. When using treacle, the amount allowed is limited by that the spreadability of the molasses-containing mixtures is not impaired by an excess of molasses may be. Additions of up to 6% treacle are preferred.

The use of the ensiling mixtures according to the invention means compared with the previously known Silage additives have a considerable advantage. Those weakened by the addition of bactericidal agents According to the invention, lactic acid bacteria no longer need the carbohydrates or sugars that suit them from the plant parts to gain and digest, but they can be used immediately without bacterial Digestion of the plant and flourish without the use of plant substances. Since the sugar is in open-minded form and is presented directly at the point of influence of the Suhlte, can The sugar content of the road salt can be reduced to a fraction of what would otherwise be in sugar or Molasses must be provided. In addition, there is the dry application of the invention Silage mixes ensure that the silage additive is actually also in the forage stock remains and is not washed out, as is the case with the application of large amounts of water dissolved molasses. The carbohydrates not consumed during fermentation, especially sugar or Molasses, increase the nutritional value of the finished silage. When using the inventive dry, Silage mixes containing sugar or molasses do not only contain the direct feed for the weakened lactic acid bacteria but also osmotically acting, d. H. Cell sap depriving and thus substances that accelerate the collapse of the feed stick. The road salt is particularly when using molasses, it is easy to grip and no longer dusts, but is not sticky and does not harden on storage.

example 1

A mixture of sodium bisulfite and sodium sulfite, which may contain, depending on the _pH value of the raw materials up to 30 ° / σ bisulfite is added 2 to 6% treacle.

Example 2

A mixture of sodium bisulfite and sodium sulfite in such proportions that the mixture has a If the pH value is between 6.0 and 7.0, 2 to 15% dry molasses is added.

Example 3

The mixture of sodium bisulfite and sodium sulfite of Example 2 is made with 2 to 6% treacle and further proportions of caster sugar and dextrin.

All of the specified ensiling mixes influence the fermentation process when converting green forage in silage juice feed in an excellent way. They can be easily sprinkled in when used.
