Abstract
The invention relates to the use of an organic acids containing fraction obtained from vinasses and molasses for preserving forage, stimulating microbial growth and activity, and enhancing forage utilization. The fraction may be used as such, or mixed with forage, or used together with a microbe that resists the acidity of the fraction and produces acid.
