Timing and quality are everything—especially when it comes to your forage. Poor preservation can mean heat damage, nutrient loss, and spoilage, costing you both feed value and profit. That’s where BULLETPROOF® Forage Preservatives from Hubbard Feeds come in. Designed to protect your silage, hay, and high-moisture grains from the moment they’re harvested, BULLETPROOF® products give you the upper hand against oxygen, yeast, mold, and other spoilage threats.

How BULLETPROOF® Works
BULLETPROOF® is a bacterial inoculant that gets to work immediately upon contact with forage. Its multi-strain formula:
- Sequesters oxygen quickly, allowing fermentation to start faster and more efficiently.
- Increases bacterial populations in the forage mass, boosting lactic and acetic acid production for rapid pH drop.
- Inhibits yeast and mold growth to reduce heating and prevent spoilage.
- Enhances fermentation, making more sugars available and improving feed quality.
Unlike some forage treatments that can take weeks to control mold growth, BULLETPROOF® acts fast—keeping silages and hay cooler right away while creating an environment that locks in nutrients.
Why Choose BULLETPROOF® Over Other Treatments?
Compared to organic acids or single-strain inoculants, BULLETPROOF® offers distinct advantages:
- Speed of action – Works on contact with forage, unlike other products that must wait until oxygen is eliminated.
- Extended protection – Multi-strain bacteria ensure a more complete fermentation pattern over time.
- Versatility – Effective for silage, hay, and high-moisture grains with moisture ranges of 20–70%.
- Lower application rates – Just ½ to 2 lbs/ton for silage and 2–3 lbs/ton for hay, saving you on product costs.
Organic acids, while effective for some uses, require higher application rates, can be corrosive, and may not be ideal for hay. BULLETPROOF® provides broad-spectrum results with easier handling and less equipment wear.

Application Made Simple
BULLETPROOF® is available in both ready-to-use liquid and dry forms, compatible with most liquid or dry applicators. It stores well (up to 2 years when kept properly) and requires no special handling beyond basic temperature protection above freezing.
Whether you’re putting up silage at 65% moisture, baling hay at 20%, or storing high-moisture corn, BULLETPROOF® has a formula to fit your operation’s needs.
The Bottom Line
Every ton of forage you preserve at peak quality is money in the bank and nutrition in your herd. BULLETPROOF® Forage Preservatives help you keep more of what you grow—reducing spoilage, maintaining feed value, and making your harvest work harder for you.
