Nutri-Lock Inoculants

How Nutri‑Lock Works

Each Nutri‑Lock product delivers a carefully balanced mix of 7 lactic acid-producing bacterial strains (LAB) that are selected for their ability to:

• Thrive across a range of forage environments

• Outcompete spoilage organisms

• Rapidly convert plant sugars into lactic acid, the most effective acid for fermentation

Under ideal conditions, these LAB populations double every 25 minutes, triggering a sharp pH drop from around 6 to below 3.8. This acidification:

• Halts activity of spoilage organisms like yeast, mold, and clostridia

• Inhibits enzymes that break down valuable plant protein

• Locks in more dry matter, energy, and nutrients for animal performance

The result is a silage that’s cooler, more stable, and more digestible, even after long-term storage.

Nutri-Lock Inoculants (Base)

Ideal for:

• Corn silage and haylage systems with predictable harvest moisture levels

• Producers seeking a cost-effective, science-backed inoculant

Perfect for:

• Custom harvesters

• Dairy and beef operations focused on foundation-level preservation

Nutri-Lock EZ Inoculants

Nutri-Lock Ez is perfect for operators handling varied forage types or variable crop conditions.

Ideal when:

• You’re chopping multiple forages—corn silage one week, wheatlage or haylage the next

• You want to enhance fermentation speed and feed digestibility

Includes:

• The same 7 LAB strains

• 3 added enzymes that help break down plant cell walls, improving fiber digestibility and lactic acid production

Perfect for:

• Producers looking to improve feed conversion

• High-performing herds needing more consistent silage results

Nutri-Lock Gold Inoculants

Nutri-Lock Gold is formulated specifically for high-moisture corn, where fermentation challenges are greater due to:

• Higher sugar content

• Elevated moisture (>25–30%)

• Risk of heating or spoilage in dense storage

Best for:

• High-energy diets

• Finishing rations

• Beef or dairy operations storing corn in bunkers, bags, or upright silos

Nutri‑Lock Gold ensures:

• Clean fermentation

• Minimal dry matter loss

• Maximum nutrient retention, even under pressure-packed storage
