Crop-N-Rich Stage 2 Inoculant for Corn Silage, Haylage High Moisture Corn & Small Grain Silages
Patented technology designed for increased aerobic stability in storage and at feedout

Crop-N-Rich^® Stage 2 is a unique combination of two complementary bacteria, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Lactobacillus buchneri 40788. Crop-N-Rich Stage 2 is the next "stage " in silage fermentation technology.
Combining the Power of Two

Front End: Fast Efficient Fermentation		Back End: Aerobic Stability at Feedout
Drops pH rapidly		Reduces yeast and mold
Preserves protein and dry matter		Reduced heating in TMRs
Improved digestibility		Ideal for summer feeds
Improved palatability		Less feed wasted
Contains safe & natural micro-organisms		For feed that may or could be moved

Why Should I Use Crop-N-Rich Stage 2?
If aerobic stability is a challenge and dry matter loss is an issue, consider using Crop-N-Rich Stage 2. Examples include forages that will be fed in hot weather and bunkers or piles that have large, exposed surfaces. Other situations where Crop-N-Rich Stage 2 should be considered are the last several loads in a tower silo or on a bunker or pile, silage that will be moved from one storage structure to another, or silage that will be removed from storage days before it is fed.
