DR.FERM  
Innovative Fermentation

Innovation is the foundation of all Dr.FERM fermentation concepts. It's also crucial that a concept is simple, safe, and successful to implement on the farm and/or feed mill.

 

Dr.FERM began developing a concept for liquid fermentation on pig farms using liquid feed over 15 years ago. Together with a German manufacturer, we developed special fermentation cultures that include a unique activation step. Customers can easily, simply, and successfully perform the first fermentation step. This fermentation starter is then added to large fermenters for the second phase of fermentation: fermentation of raw materials. Fermentation cultures we offer here include: DF BASIC and DF MAXPRO. DF MAXPRO is the most used fermentation culture, and especially developed that it can ferment all types of raw materials: from cereals, cereal byproducts, as well as protein-rich feedstuffs: soybean meal, peas, beans, rapeseed meal/cake, sunflower meal/cake, guar meal, and lupines. DF MAXPRO is best product available in the market of liquid fermentation. It contains a unique mixture of multiple homofermentative strains: L.Plantarum (2 different strains) and E.Lactis.

​

For several years now, Dr.FERM has been working hard to develop a solid-state fermentation concept. This offers more application possibilities for "dry feed." After all, the majority of farm animals worldwide are fed dry feed. Dr.FERM is conducting extensive trials to perfect the technology, but also to investigate the effect of fermented raw materials on health and growth performance. Just like in liquid fermentation, DF MAXPRO is also the best fermentation culture for solid-state fermentation.

​

A third important application of fermentation is the ensiling of feedstuffs such as corn or grass. Here too, Dr.FERM is the only company on the market to use an activated fermentation culture. This offers crucial advantages for fermentation, as it initiates it more quickly. This reduces the risk of suboptimal fermentation and also minimizes the risk of heating and/or mold/yeast formation after the ensiling is opened. Our fermentation culture DF SOLID is a proven best biological preservation of your silage. It contains homofermentative strain E.Lactic, as well as heterofermentative strain L.Buchneri.
