Introducing Ag-Bag Boost Inoculant, a microbial inoculant to enhance forage fermentation featuring L. buchneri and B. pumilus. Ag-Bag Boost is an exclusive inoculant blend combining the best

technology with bacteria and feed enzymes to preserve forage nutrients. Ag-Bag Boost is the next generation of forage inoculants by Ag-Bag by RCI.

“We are excited to offer our Ag-Bag by RCI dealers and customer this new inoculant featuring L. buchneri and B. pumilus to enhance the best forage storage system. By adding these two key bacteria to our proprietary inoculant, producers will have the best microbes to finish the aerobic fermentation cycle.

Plus, by using smaller batches and new technology, we can offer a higher concentration of bacteria per gram while maintaining an effective cost per ton,” said Taylor Weisensel, National Sales Director.

By using Ag-Bag Boost inoculant, forage quickly starts the fermentation process and pH is lowered for spoilage prevention forage stability. With all microbes working together, these bacteria prevent forage heating at the forage face and within the total mixed ration. Forage enzymes are also included to aid in fiber digestion by the dairy or beef ruminant consuming the forage.

Ag-Bag Boost is available as dry or water soluble, and it is shelf stable. For dry application, each bucket treats 100-tons of forage. For water soluble applications, packets are sold in 50-, 100- and 500-ton pouches. Ag-Bag Boost is formulated to handle a variety of crop types, moisture levels, and crop conditions to prevent forage loss.

Ag-Bag Boost is sold through local Ag-Bag Dealers. Visit www.ag-bag.com to find your Ag-Bag Dealer.
