Pioneer® Seeds Products

11GFT inoculant

Pioneer® brand 11GFT is a revolutionary patented grass and cereal silage product designed to:

  • Improve fibre digestibility
  • Improve forage energy density to help reduce supplementary feed cost
  • Improve grass/cereal fermentation
  • Improve bunklife

Available as a water-soluble product in packaging suitable for use in tank mixes or with low-volume application systems.

11GFT contains a novel strain of Lactobacillus buchneri which: 

  • Produces specific fibre digesting enzymes as it replicates in silage
  • Reduces shrinkage and decreases heating at the pit face when feeding out

11GFT also contains unique, patented strains of grass/cereal specific Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus plantarum formulated to:

  • Stimulate “front-end” fermentation efficiency by rapidly dropping pH helping to retain valuable nutrients (sugar, starch)
  • Help lower feed costs by reducing grain and protein supplementatiom

How does Nutrivail Technology work?

Proprietary, novel Lactobacillus buchneri bacteria produce enzymes (ferulate and acetyl esterases) which modify cell wall fibre (decoupling it from lignin) in the storage structure allowing more extensive fibre digestion when the silage is degraded by rumen bacteria.
