Extendable silo bag

Ensiling bag system manufactured by Plastar San Luis S.A. using the three-layer coextrusion system. BENEFITS_ Silo dosification for animal feed is made possible, cutting losses due to oxidation. APPLICATION_ For high production dairy farms and intensive cattle breeding. When silo use is needed, use only what you need. BAGGING CONDITIONS_ • MOISTURE: Optimal moisture is between 58% and 68%. Moisture above those levels may result in butyric fermentation, and sugar and protein loss. Moisture below those levels may delay fermentation and even prevent it from occurring. • OPTIMAL CHOPPING SIZE: Chopping size should be between 8 and 12 mm. • LOSSES WITHIN THE ENSILING PROCESS: Losses depend directly on the distance between the field to be chopped and the place where silo bag is filled. • LOSS FOR EFFLUENTS: If moisture is above 75%, a great number of juices rich in soluble protein and sugar are lost by leachates. • DEGASIFICATION: Nitrogened oxides should be eliminated for adequate anaerobic fermentation. • LOCATION AND CARE: - bags have to be placed in high places, with leveled and compacted, weed-free floors with good drainage. - location has to be protected against livestock and rodents. - Silo bags have to be placed in easy to reach areas, making fodder extraction possible. • LOSS FOR SILO OPENING: On many occasions loss occurs by oxidation, reducing the quality of the silos. However, loss is less with silo bags than in BUNKER silage.
