Ecosyl 100 contains a special strain of bacteria, MTD/1, which is only found in the Ecosyl range of silage 

additives. MTD/1 is an unusual strain of Lactobacillus plantarum with characteristics that make it particularly effective for use as a silage inoculant. It produces large amounts of lactic acid quickly and efficiently and is effective over a wide range of pH, temperature and dry matters. It is active throughout the whole fermentation process so, unlike most strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, additional helper strains are not required to start the fermentation. This also means that all of the bacteria applied are active immediately.
