Silage Covers
Silage covers are essential for protecting silage against oxygen, moisture, and sunlight. By sealing bunkers and pits properly, they reduce spoilage and nutrient losses while keeping feed safe from pests. Durable, UV-stabilised covers ensure your silage stays nutritious and fresh throughout the season.
Silage Cover Products Available:
- 12M x 35M x 115MIC Black/White
- 16M x 50M x 115MIC Black/White

Why choose quality silage film and airtight storage?
Using high-quality silage film and ensuring airtight storage is the foundation of effective preservation. Once sealed, oxygen is excluded, preventing harmful bacteria from growing. This creates the perfect environment for beneficial bacteria to multiply, producing lactic acid that lowers the pH. The result? Grass that stays preserved, nutritious, and ready when your livestock needs it most.
Bale Net
Bale netting produces strong, firm bales that are easier to handle, transport, and store. It saves time during baling by requiring fewer revolutions, while reducing crop losses. With UV resistance and tear strength, quality netting ensures reliable performance and feed protection all season.
