Silotite Pro Bale Wrap is a technically advanced 5 layer silage stretchfilm and offers farmers and contractors the triple benefits of an enhanced bale wrapping process, significant cost savings and augmented crop quality. Additionally, this next generation bale wrap, developed for use with round and square bale wrappers, has the added benefit of being easier to recycle thanks to its thinner, but stronger profile. It is manufactured using the latest raw materials and advanced 5 layer manufacturing techniques that enhance the essential characteristics of silage stretchfilm. The unique system of continuous measurement and adjustment applied during the Silotite Pro production process assures the optimisation of the film’s high performing 5 layer film structure. Its highly effective, pre-orientated 5 layer structure film – robust enough to withstand the rigours of modern, complex wrapping machinery, as well as benefiting from a greater reel length than conventional stretchfilms. This additional length allows users to produce more bales per reels with fewer reels changes necessary. Thanks to pre-orientated production process Silotite Pro is better placed to withstand tough, stemmy forage crops. As a pre-orientated film SilotitePro benefits from an enhanced oxygen barrier – critical to ensuring excellent crop conservation, it is also suitable for all bale wrappers, although it was designed specifically for modern, complex, high output wrappers. SilotitePro is 100% recyclable..
When it comes to producing good quality, nutritious silage small things can make a big difference. This is especially true of mistakes. A shortcut or a small oversight can ultimately result in silage that is unusable due to insufficient dry matter content or worse, silage that is dangerous to herd health because of mould growth and the likely presence of mycotoxins or Listeria.
Many farmers have come to accept some issues, particularly with mould, as inevitable and as a necessary evil. The reality is however, it's all too often caused by someone committing one of a number of silage "sins".
Studying your silage clamp and looking at key indicators can benefit the quality of your silage at feed-out. This short video from Ecosyl highlights some of the top tips for assessing your clamp to help maximise the nutritional value of your silage.
Having a plan to harvest some of your cereal crops for whole-crop cereal silage is a "no brainer" if you need to top-up tight grass silage stocks on dairy and other livestock farms, says silage specialist, Derek Nelson.
