TMR-Mate Product Profile - Promote® Forage-Mate® TMR-Mate Promote® Forage-Mate® TMR-Mate is a unique blend of organic acids for yeast and mold inhibition to enhance nutrient retention in Total Mixed Rations (TMR). Benefits Reduces yeast and mold growth in TMR Reduces nutrient loss due to yeast and mold growth Enhances dry matter and nutrient intake by lactating cows during heat stress Research indicates a return on investment as high as 7:1 for nutrient retention during challenging summer conditions Features Research-proven blend of organic acids for top performance Non-corrosive blend, will not damage equipment Dry form to assure accurate application while blended in the TMR Storage • Store in a dry location Packaging and Forms Dry Organic Acid Form (ready to use) • 50 lb heat-sealed bag Guaranteed Analysis Active Ingredients ....................................................................... 56.0% Inert Ingredients .......................................................................... 44.0% Total ................................................................................................... 100% Active Ingredients Calcium propionate, benzoic acid, citric acid, sodium acetate, sodium bentonite, calcium carbonate, sodium aluminosilicate, mineral oil, natural and artifical flavors. • Add Promote® Forage-Mate® TMR Mate to TMRs at the time of mixing • General Recommendations: 2 – 7 lbs TMR-Mate/ton of TMR • Introduce 2 lbs of TMR-Mate/ton when temperature exceed 72 degrees or the Temperature Humidity Index (THI) exceeds 68. (See THI chart on reverse side) •Increase rate 1 lb/ton for every 5 point change in THI These are general recommendations and mixing rates will depend on numerous stress factors including: • Mold, yeast, & mycotoxin load or contamination • Challenge of aerobic conditions (i.e. silo face removal rate) • Grain moisture level and particle size • Bunk life expectancy rate Recommended Usage The above conditions will cause rapid growth of yeasts, bacteria, & mycotoxin producing molds. The more stress factors to which TMR is exposed, the higher the required treatment rate of TMR-Mate.
