Maximising silage quality and sustainability with Silostop Max silage film

In the agricultural sector, preserving forage is crucial for ensuring livestock feed quantity and quality in a range of different situations. Silage production, a method of preserving fresh forage under anaerobic conditions, is a staple in the diets of ruminant animals. However, traditional silage covering solutions often fall short in providing both effective oxygen barrier properties, longer term objectives and environmental sustainability. Enter Silostop Max silage film, a revolutionary product designed to address these challenges head-on.

Silage production involves the fermentation of green fodder in conditions that limit oxygen, thereby preserving the feed. The quality of silage is paramount, as it directly impacts the nutritional value and overall health of the livestock. One significant challenge in silage production is the infiltration of oxygen into the silo, which can lead to spoilage and nutrient loss. This is where Silostop Max silage film comes into play.

Silostop Max is not your average silage cover. It is an 80-micron, 11-layer film specifically engineered to block the entry of oxygen into silage. This advanced oxygen barrier film is celebrated for its ability to
significantly reduce Dry Matter (DM) losses in the upper layer of the silage, effectively eliminating waste on the surface and shoulders of the silo. Moreover, it enhances aerobic stability at feedout, ensuring that
the silage remains in optimal condition for longer periods.

What sets Silostop Max apart is its exceptional durability and flexibility. The film can be stretched to over 200% before tearing and boasts high puncture resistance, making it ideal for daily use in the demanding
environment of silage production. Its flexibility ensures that it lies flush on the silage surface, effectively eliminating air pockets that could compromise silage quality.

In today’s world, where environmental concerns are at the forefront, Silostop Max shines with its commitment to sustainability. The film is fully recyclable and made using up to 25% recycled material,
addressing the agricultural sector’s need for sustainable practices. When combined with SilageKeeper covers, the overall plastic usage in silage production is significantly reduced, marking a step forward in ecofriendly farming practices.

Understanding the diverse needs of farmers, Silostop Max is available in a variety of sizes to fit most pits and stacks. This versatility ensures that farms of any size can benefit from the superior protection and
sustainability offered by Silostop Max.

Silostop Max silage film represents a significant advancement in silage preservation technology. By offering unparalleled oxygen barrier properties, durability, and a commitment to sustainability, it addresses the critical challenges faced in silage production. For farmers looking to improve the quality of their silage while reducing their environmental footprint, Silostop Max is a solution that stands out in the market. As the agricultural sector continues to evolve, products like Silostop Max play a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability and efficiency of farming practices worldwide.
