Poor fermentation and air getting into the clamp are two of the biggest causes of dry matter loss, reduced palatability and heating, all increasing waste. That means less feed in front of cows, lower intakes, and reduced performance.

Get the basics right - and go one step further

Using a proven grass silage inoculant helps drive a fast, efficient fermentation. The result?

- More nutrients preserved

- Improved clamp stability

- Better intakes and animal performance

- More milk from home-grown forage

But even well-fermented silage will eventually deteriorate if oxygen penetrates the clamp.

That’s where a high oxygen barrier film makes the difference. By reducing air ingress, it:

- Limits dry matter losses and mould growth on the peripheral areas (especially the top 0.5m)

- Creates the ideal anaerobic conditions for the inoculant to perform

- Protects the feed value you’ve worked hard to produce

Why does this matter?

Every percentage of dry matter lost is money wasted. With input costs under pressure, protecting silage quality is one of the most cost-effective ways to safeguard margins.

Good fermentation plus a strong clamp sealing isn’t an extra - it’s insurance on your forage investment.
