What is Propcorn?

Buffered Propcorn products are ideal for applications at feed mills as well as on-farm in grain, corn, hay and straw preservation. They ensure high-quality results and reduce losses. The main components of Propcorn are propionic acid and its salts, which are antifungal and glucogenic energy sources for ruminants. Propcorn works on a wide grain-moisture range to reduce worries during harvest time. With proven efficacy, Propcorn helps maintain animal health.

Grain preservation on farm

Propcorn is ideal for on-farm use due to its reduced smell and lower corrosivity compared to pure propionic acid. After harvesting, sufficient moisture often remains for mold growth. High moisture accelerates spoilage, creating the need for an appropriate preservative. Propcorn is effective across a wide moisture range when applied according to grain moisture levels.

Propcorn products are antifungal and provide a glucogenic energy source for ruminants, enhancing animal health. Propcorn improves sustainability and overall efficiency by reducing feed losses.

Grain and corn ensiling

Ensiling moist, crimped grains or corn is a cost-effective method that works on a wide moisture range. Propcorn ensures good aerobic stability during feed out. This reduces risks related to molds or yeasts, and it reduces losses during storing and feeding.

Hay, haylage and straw preservation

Propcorn helps combat mold in hay, haylage and straw. Avoiding dusty and moldy hay is crucial for animal health. Preference tests with horses have shown improved palatability of haylage with Propcorn. Aerobic stability was also improved with Propcorn compared to untreated haylage. Similarly, moist straw can be ensiled using Propcorn to improve its hygienic quality.
