Preparation of Acidipropionibacterium acidipropionici CNCM I-4661

What it is. Preparation of viable cells of the bacterium Acidipropionibacterium acidipropionici CNCM I-4661, containing at least 1 × 10^8 CFU/g of additive. It belongs to the functional group of silage additives (technological additives).

What it is for. Used as a silage additive for all animal species, intended to be added to forage at ensiling. When not combined with other silage micro-organism additives, the minimum content is 1 × 10^8 CFU/kg of fresh matter. It is generally used to support fermentation conditions and the conservation of ensiled forage.

Points to watch. The instructions for use of the additive and premixtures must indicate storage conditions. Feed business operators must establish operating procedures and organisational measures to manage risks; where these cannot be eliminated, personal protective equipment (skin, eye and respiratory protection) is mandatory when handling the additive and premixtures.
