ADVANTAGE INOCULANTS
ADVANTAGE FORAGE ENHANCER
Advantage Forage Enhancer is an inoculant of bacteria and enzymes designed to reduce dry matter loss and maintain high quality haylage and silage. Advantage does this by rapidly dropping pH to inhibit mold and yeast feeding. Less mold and yeast feeding means less heating, dry matter loss and spoilage. This preserves and helps maximize the crop with very high quality feed. Your cows will respond with higher milk production. When forage (mostly alfalfa haylage) is ensiled at a high moisture level (>65% moisture) there is a risk the natural clostridia bacteria in the forage could dominate the fermentation and produce butyric acid as a by-product. Haylage with a clostridial fermentation can be identified by high moisture content, dark green appearance and a strong, offensive butyric odor. Since the production of butyric acid by the clostridia is inefficient, dry matter losses tend to be high and poor palatability makes it difficult to meet the energy requirements of early lactating cattle. To compensate for this energy loss, the cow may enter ketosis, where they metabolize large quantities of fat, putting the cow at high risk for disease and reduced milk yield. The Bacillus subtilis bacteria in the MT550CL is scientifically chosen to handle various strains of clostridia bacteria and reduce their negative effects on the haylage and silage harvested at higher moisture conditions. Highly recommended if you are harvesting under wet and less than ideal conditions. Like all Advantage products, it is designed to protect what you have and maximize your yield.
WHY ADVANTAGE FORAGE ENHANCER IS BETTER
ADVANTAGE MT550CL
Advantage MT550CL is an inoculant that includes scientifically selected lactic acid producing bacteria formulated to drive an efficient fermentation to retain crop nutrients with Bacillus subtilis bacteria to manage clostridia growth in forage.

ADVANTAGE HMC 780 B & 790 B
Advantage HMC is a Buchneri-based inoculant that excels in yeast control on feed-out in addition to quick fermentation after harvest. Yeast control on feed-out helps to extend bunk life with less crop thrown out due to spoilage or feeding cows partially spoiled forage. In some cases it has been known to reduce somatic cell count in milk. Ideal for high-moisture corn, but does also work with silage.

Protecting forage quality starts the moment it’s harvested. Without proper care, valuable forage can quickly degrade, losing energy and succumbing to spoilage caused by harmful bacteria, molds, and yeasts. Renk’s Advantage Enhancer is the solution—an advanced blend of live bacteria and enzymes designed to preserve forage, protect yield, and ensure high- quality feed. With its proven ability to reduce losses by 3–5% and keep harmful toxins out of your livestock’s diet, Advantage Enhancer is your partner in maximizing forage performance and long-term storage stability.
FS320WS, FS340WS, AND FS370DF
These products combine four specialized bacterial strains to rapidly reduce pH levels, ensuring fast and effective fermentation. With 150,000 CFU (colony-forming units) per gram of crop—exceeding industry standards—and added enzymes to boost efficiency, these inoculants deliver superior performance. Packaged in water soluble 100 gram pack (FS320WS), 500 gram pack (FS340WS), and dry mixture 50 pound bag (FS370DF).
MT550CL
This is the same base product as 320, 340, and 370 and adds Bacillus subtilis bacteria to manage clostridia growth in forage. The Bacillus subtilis bacteria in the MT550CL is scientifically chosen to handle various strains of clostridia bacteria and reduce their negative effects on the haylage and silage harvested at higher moisture conditions. It is highly recommended if you are harvesting under wet and less than ideal conditions.
HMC 780-B AND HMC 790-B
Advantage HMC is a Buchneri-based inoculant that excels in yeast control on feed-out in addition to quick fermentation after harvest. Yeast control on feedout helps to extend bunk life with less crop thrown out due to spoilage. Ideal for high-moisture corn, but also works with silage. It can have a positive affect on cow health by avoiding feeding them spoiled feed.
