Your Guarantee For Success
- For maximum feed value from your silage, grass
should been be ensiled at the correct stage.
- Avoid soil contamination at the cutting and
ensiling stages.
- Grass must be wilted properly (depending on
weather conditions) for approximately 24 - 48 hours to obtain a dry matter of
25% - 40%.
- To ensure a compact, even, high density bale,
Baler Operator should drive steadily.
- Wrap bales as soon as possible after making,
ideally within two hours. (This prevents heating and loss of valuable
nutrients).
- Apply at least 4 layers of film using the 4x1 or
2x2 system.
- Film should be applied at no more than 70%
Pre-Stretch and the tackier side of the film must be applied against the bale.
- Wrapped bales should be handled with proper
equipment and due care taken to avoid damaging the film. Wrapped bales should
be stacked as soon as possible and ideally within 12 hours of wrapping. Do not
stack bales more than three high.
- Once bales are wrapped and stacked, avoid all
further handling until required for feeding.
- Stored bales should be fenced off from
livestock, netted to prevent bird damage and effective rodent and pest control
steps taken. Inspect bales regularly and any damaged film should be repaired
immediately.
