Increase profit, reduce emissions
Powerstart® Silage Additive helps dairy farmers to become more financially and environmentally sustainable.
Due to fewer days open, a 300 cow herd using Powerstart® silage additive earns an extra £15,120 per year, and herds fuelled by Powerstart® produce less emissions per litre of milk.
Why choose
Silage Additive
Benefit from Healthier Cows
Recent figures from Promar show that the spend on vet and medicine for cows fed Powerstart-treated silage is on average 12% lower than cows fed other silage.
Reduce your plastic footprint
Twenty years ago, all Powerstart® delivered involved the use of significant quantities of single-use plastic containers.
Now, Powerstart® Instant has revolutionised our environmental impact. Powerstart® Instant silage additive is plastic free!
Increase Your Efficiency
With Powerstart® Silage Additive, you can increase your milk yield without increasing your herd size.
We expect Powerstart® Instant to generate a return on investment of at least 10:1 for your business!
Generate Fewer Emissions
Fewer days open per cow per annum and more available energy due to improved sugar preservation means your cows will work more efficiently and as a result, they'll generate at least 4% fewer emissions per litre of milk produced.
In addition, due to reduced dry matter losses during the fermentation process, using Powerstart® Silage Additive also means you’ll generate at least 4% fewer silage production-related emissions per tonne fed - and you'll have more silage to feed too!

What People Are Saying
Harry Johnson and his family in Longnor, Buxton, operate Heath House Farm where they manage a 500-cow dairy herd across two neighbouring farms.
Producing milk for Müller, they seek highly-productive and efficient cows which they have been successful in breeding due to using Sexcel® sexed genetics on their best performing animals. They also use NuEra™ Beef Genetics on their lower-performing animals to breed high-value beef calf cash crops.
Already maximising their genetic potential, Harry seeks further efficiency from other factors, such as feed. Powerstart® has been their ‘go-to’ silage additive for many years due to it’s fast-acting fermentation process and optimum tastiness for their cows, guaranteeing they enjoy every bite.
