Description of the measure

Acidification of feed mixture ration improves the aerobic stability of the mixture

Comments on sustainability

A stabilized feed mixture ensures constant good feed quality also under extreme conditions. Very high temperatures can cause faulty fermentation. Due to the acidification of the feed, the animals will get constant high quality feed which keeps them healthy and productive
