  • the preservatives according to the publication contain 2 %-60 % of benzoic acid or a derivative, considered as benzoic acid.

  • Patent publication GB 2 193 078 presents compositions for preserving moist hay, comprising acetic acid, propionic acid, or preferably sorbic acid which contains magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, and soluble Cu(II), preferably at a ratio of 100: 10 - 20: 1.
  • Patent publication DE 3 540 771 discloses a provision of formic acid esters of 1,2- propanediol in preserving animal forage and treating drinking water.
  • the esters act on coliform bacteria in particular.
  • Patent publication JP 57 018 601 discloses the use of carboxyl acids and their de ⁇ rivatives (such as chlorides, esters, anhydrides, amides, and nitriles) and salts in solutions of 10 "3 - 10 "1 M as pesticides against different plant diseases.
  • Patent publication US 3 745 027 discloses the preserving of foodstuffs, such as meat, fruits, and vegetables against moulding and bacterial germs, by cooking them in a solution containing 25-90 wt-% of polyalcohols and 0.5-1 wt-% of fungicide.
  • the fungicides include sorbic acid, propionic acid, and benzoic acid, and their salts and esters.

  • mixtures of organic acids particularly propionic acid and formic acid, or mixtures of organic acids and their ammonium salts, or salts of organic acids are used to prevent Salmo ⁇ nella in poultry forage.
  • the products are either solutions or solids.
  • solid forage for hens, cows, pigs, etc. containing 20 wt-% of moisture, at the most, can be preserved without drying by using a preservative that contains sorbic acid or sorbates together with a physiologi ⁇ cally-harmless organic or inorganic acid or its salt.

  • Preservative of green forage absorbed in natural zeolite or synthetic zeolite is known from patent SU 1 461 398.

  • the above forage preservatives leave a lot to be desired, particularly when preserv ⁇ ing predried green forage, whereby the grass is cut and left lying on the surface of the ground to be predried before embaling or siloing.

  • compositions containing about 5-25 wt-% of benzoic acid compo ⁇ nent, disclosed in FI 920887 and PCT/FI93/00068 generally yield good results in preserving predried green forage, they still have defects. If sufficient amounts of expensive stabilising agents are not used, slight crystallisation may occur in the pre ⁇ servative during long-term cold-storage. It would also be advisable to decrease the amount of benzoic acid component, partly because of the expensive price; partly because it stains machines in such concentrations and forms a light-coloured, ben- zoic acid-bearing layer of dirt on the machine when drying, which is difficult to re ⁇ move.
  • Another defect of present preservatives is frequently that, after the bale or the silo of forage has been opened, the forage that so far had been well-preserved, may deterio- rate fast when its sugars start to ferment. It would be advisable to preserve the for ⁇ age so that some sugars remain but, nevertheless, postfermentation is as minor as possible.
  • the crop When not dried, the crop is preserved either as coarsely powdered or as whole wheat.
  • the moisture of the grain is about 30-35 % and the pres ⁇ ervation is generally effected by using the same preservatives according to the AIV process as in the preservation of green forage.
