The net replacement film is used efficiently to cover the bales, in lieu of net wrap, and in the process adds more barrier to help in the silage fermentation action. With the outer silage film then being added where the film is needed, blocking out more oxygen permeation.
This can be done to protect more of the silage material from degradation and mould to give better quality and quantity when feeding the baled silage out. Net replacement film also makes a more ‘perfectly even’ and ‘squarer’ bale.
This style of ensiling is the future, not only for quality, but also cuts down the labor required to a ‘one man’ process, saving valuable work hours.
