A Look at the Agricultural Advantages of Silage Wrap

Since its introduction back in the 1980s, baling silage has continuously become a reliable way of delivering nutritious and high-quality fodder, while at the same time reducing the need for labour and time regarding feeding flexibility. Today, modern and innovative technology makes it a lot convenient for farm owners to wrap bale and feed their herds.

At times when your crop is of high quality, the use of silage covers allows you to harvest without the need to wait for the weather to calm down. Baling silage enables the use of different crops, and in the process, there is a significant reduction in harvesting losses and feeding costs. Because of the ever-increasing cost of farm animal feeds, there is no other viable option than to make use of baled silage yields since it helps in maximising your summer crop and reducing losses.

When using silage covers in wrapping bales, it creates an airtight seal, provided you are doing it the right way. As a result, there is a creation of a perfect environment for crop fermentation. Assuming that the bales get their much-deserved attention and care, there is an increased chance of maintaining an oxygen-free condition for the entire storage period. If you succeed in managing your bales, you get a guarantee that the silage bales remain in the top state until the time you use them for feeding.

Keep in mind that creating dense and well-shaped bales, along with a remarkable airtight seal are the critical factors in producing good silage. You have to acknowledge that things like cutting, storing, and the time spent in the bailing process all contribute to spoilage and losses. The use of silage covers minimises the possibilities of deterioration and substantial losses.

You also must remind yourself that picking a high-quality bale wrap is essential when it comes to your chances of succeeding in the wrapping process. There is no denying that a high-quality bale wrap is your ticket to providing the best possible protection for your feeds.

So, how do you make an excellent bale wrap? Well, there are certain things to factor in. For one, you can only produce high-quality bale wrap if it has sufficient protection from UV radiation, superior strength, and comes with highly-effective tack properties. Those three things lead to providing protection against the sun, producing an airtight seal, and allowing for exceptional puncture resistance. Furthermore, high-quality bale wrap is capable of withstanding the pressure that naturally comes from wrapping. However, if you use a low-quality and substandard bale wrap, it could very well result to lower bale quality and density, as well as the creation of an entryway for air and stoppages. You also experience inconsistent stretching if you use low-quality bale wrap.
