Milekons ™

Product descriptionMilekons™ is a new highly effective environmentally friendly preservative that provides a significant reduction in losses of vegetables, fruits and grains during storage, is used for silage making and for preserving hay, straw and other juicy and rough fodder.Milekons™, unlike other preservatives used in the food and fodder industry, does not contain chemically active substances adversely affecting the immunity, the genetic apparatus of animals and humans. It consists of a quaternary ammonium compound widely used in water purification and other spheres of the national economy, modified sucrose, sodium chloride and ethanol in certain proportions.The agent is active against a wide range of viruses, bacteria and fungi, including antibiotic resistant microorganisms. Milekons™ has a prolonged effect of action, which allows a significant reduce in the number of necessary treatments of premises.Long-term sanitary and hygienic studies have shown that Milekons™ in recommended doses does not have acute and chronic toxicity, embryotoxic and teratogenic effects and does not cause allergic reactions. In the environment, under the action of enzymes, it decomposes into nitrogen-containing components, which later participate in the metabolism.In plant cultivation Milekons™ is applied for:• for pre-treatment before placement in storage of seeds of grains and legumes, vegetables and potatoes, fruit and berry products;• for treatment of vegetables, fruits and grains intended for long-term transportation, including in conditions of high temperatures;• for treatment of root crops and potatoes in storage facilities when washing before placement for storage or after placement – through ventilation wells by aerosolizing;• for conservation of silage and rolled grain, preservation of hay, straw, rough and juicy fodder;• for treatment of containers for fruits and vegetables;• for disinfection of greenhouses, seedbeds, trenches, storages, basements and cellars. Recommended doses and cost of the use of the agent:- for storage of grain and leguminous crops (wheat, barley, oats, peas, soybeans,lupine, beans, lentils, vetch, etc.) the 2% solution is used at the rate of 0.5 ml of thesolution per 1 kg of grain and leguminous crops ($1 per 1 tn);- for storage of vegetable crops (potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, etc.) the 2-4%solution is used at the rate of 0.5 ml per 1 kg of products ($1-2 per 1 tn);- for storage of fruit (apples, etc.) and berry crops the 2-4% solution is used at the rateof 0.5 ml per 1 kg of products ($1-2 per 1 tn);- processing of storage facilities, containers for transportation – at the rate of 1 ml of the6% aqueous solution of the agent per 1 sq. m of the surface ($5.5 per 1000 sq. m.);- for silage making 1 liter of the 2% solution is mixed with clean water up to 50 liters andis used for treatment of the silage mass at the rate of 1 ton of silage – 10 liters of theprepared solution. The silage mass is sprayed layer by layer evenly with the agentsolution followed by compaction with the tractor.1 liter of the 2% solution is used for 5 tons of the silage mass ($0.5 per tn);- for preservation of the rolled grain the 4% preservative solution at the rate of 500 mlper 1 ton is used ($2 per 1 tn);- for treatment of hay or straw 1 liter of the 2% solution of the agent is used for 5 tons ofthe processed mass ($0.5 per 1 tn).When rolling hay or straw, it is advisable to apply the agent in the process of formingthe roll.The cost of applying the drug of $ 100/liter is indicated on the terms FCA-Kirov.The use of the Milekons™ in placement for storage of vegetable products (potatoes, carrots, cabbages, etc.) has made it possible to achieve almost 100% preservation of the products (JSC “Krasnogorsky” – Kirov region, LLC “Scorpion” – Samara region, LLC “VetInko-Trade” – Sverdlovsk region etc.). Treatment of carrots and potatoes with the agent before shipment to retail chains can improve the preservation of their commercial properties under store conditions.The grain treated during placement for storage by Milekons™ not only does not lose its commercial properties in a year of storage, but also maintains high growth properties that exceed the control by 10-15% (report of FSFI “State Commission of the Russian Federation for Testing and Preservation of Selection Achievements” for Kirov region).Treatment of rolled grains with the agent Milekons™ preserves and improves its quality (preservation of nutrients up to 1.5%, carotene content by 9.8%, increase in the mass fraction of lactic acid up to 4.5%), but also with subsequent feeding increases the weight gain by 11% with a decrease in fodder costs per unit of production by 9%. When introduced into the diet of milking cows, the daily milk yield increases by 1.5 kg, and the fat content in milk by 0.2% (report of GNU SibNIPTIZh – Novosibirsk region, LLC “Vetinko-Trade” – Sverdlovsk region, CJSC “Agrofirma Patrushi” – Kirov region) . The use of the agent Milekons™ in the preservation of rolled grains makes it possible to increase the safety of working personnel and the safety of technological equipment in comparison with the use of preservation agents containing various types of organic acids.The use of the agent Milekons™ for silage making makes it possible to obtain high-quality fodder even if the silage technology is violated (LLC “Vetinko-Trade” and “Vasilievsky”, SKhA Rodina – Kirov Region).The advantages of using the agent Milekons™ in the preparation of fodder are:• virtually no oil acid in the fodder;• it does not reduce the content of sugars in the silage mass;• high efficiency of conservation of hard to silage raw materials (clover, etc.);• maintaining efficiency in case of violation of the fodder conservation technology;• increase in the period of productive use of fodder;• consumption of the agent Milekons™ for 1 t of silage mass is less than that of chemical preparations by 100 – 200 times, of biological ones – by 15 – 20 times;• cost of treatment of 1 t of silage mass with Milekons™ is 20 to 50 times less than that with chemical preparations, and 2 to 3 times than that with biological ones..Application modeFor treatment of root crops and potatoes in storage facilities when washing before placement for storage or after placement – through ventilation wells by aerosolizing.On the wooden, metal, paper, polymer and other surfaces, the aqueous solution of Milekons™ can be applied by spraying, aerosolizing, dipping and other available methods.Milekons™ is non-toxic to humans, animals and poultry. Work with 2-5% solutions can be done without gloves and a respirator, in workwear (robe or overalls).Agent formMilekons™ is available in the form of concentrate in containers from 10.0 ml to 50.0 liters and can be transported by any mode of transport.Guaranteed shelf life of the agent at a temperature of +4 to +15°C is 3 years.Milekons™ is registered in EURASEC (Certificate No. RU.77.99.26.009.Е.034906.08.11 of 31.08.2011) and is authorized for production, sale and use in the territory of the Customs Union as a preservative in the food industry, when placing for storage legumes, vegetable and fruit crops.Milekons™ in accordance with the GOST R Certification System is not included in the list of drugs subject to compulsory certification.
