Silage is a critical feed source for dairy farmers, especially during winter. But oxygen exposure, spoilage, and dry matter losses can turn good silage into waste—costing time, money, and valuable nutrients.
Traditional silage covers often fail, allowing oxygen to seep in and compromising feed quality. Silostop Max silage film is the smarter way to protect silage. It's the best option, designed to reduce spoilage, improve aerobic stability, and support sustainable farming.
Why Oxygen Is the Biggest Threat to Silage Quality
Silage stays fresh because of anaerobic fermentation, which preserves nutrients and prevents spoilage. But when oxygen gets in—whether through poor sealing, weak covers, or punctures—the fermentation process is disrupted, leading to:
-
Dry matter losses.
-
Mould and spoilage, reducing feed quality.
-
Nutrient degradation leads to lower milk yields.
An effective oxygen barrier is essential for keeping silage fresh and reducing waste.
Silostop Max is an advanced 80-micron, multi-layer silage film designed to block oxygen from reaching your silage. Unlike standard black plastic covers, it dramatically reduces dry matter losses in the upper layer, keeping silage fresher for longer.
1. Reduces Waste and Preserves Nutrients
Silostop Max, with its built-in EVOH layer, prevents oxygen from penetrating the silage surface, reducing spoilage and dry matter losses.
This means:
-
Less waste—More of the silage you ensile is available for feeding.
-
Better aerobic stability—Silage stays fresher for longer at feed-out.
-
More consistent nutrition—Cows get a higher-quality diet, supporting milk production.
2. Built to Handle the Toughest Conditions
Silage films need to withstand daily farm use. Silostop Max is designed for durability and flexibility, making it easier to work with and longer lasting than traditional covers.
-
It stretches over 200% before tearing, meaning it won’t rip easily.
-
High puncture resistance, reducing damage from birds, wildlife, or handling.
-
Lays flush on the silage surface, eliminating air pockets that can lead to spoilage.
3. A More Sustainable Choice
Plastic waste is a growing concern in agriculture, and farmers are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact. Silostop Max is designed with sustainability in mind:
-
Fully recyclable, reducing plastic waste on the farm.
By switching to Silostop Max, farmers can improve silage quality while reducing their environmental footprint.
4. Available in Sizes to Fit Any Clamp or Bunker
No two farms are the same, so Silostop Max comes in various sizes to fit all silage clamps. Whether you’re managing a small-scale operation or a large commercial farm, there’s an option that works for you.
Final Thoughts: A Smarter Way to Protect Your Silage
Farmers know poorly sealed silage means wasted feed, lost profits, and lower-quality nutrition for cows. Silostop Max provides a proven, long-term solution that helps:
✔ Reduce spoilage and dry matter losses.
✔ Keep silage fresher for longer.
✔ Improve sustainability with a fully recyclable design.
✔ Protect silage with a durable, puncture-resistant film.
