Harvesting Feed Using Bale Net Wrap or Baler Twine

"Baled silage is conditioned or prepared feed for consumption by livestock during the dry or non-harvest season. It is prepared through the technology and complex process of withering and fermenting high-nutrient crops, and then using bale net wrap or baler twine to bundle and store the forage.

For a cost-conscious farmer, this process can be a significant investment, requiring baling nets or baling ropes to tie up the grass. Let’s review the key steps necessary to create high-quality baled silage to increase quality livestock production.

1. Complete the packaging process correctly

Once the silage is ready after processing and curing, packaging becomes critical, especially for consumption in the months after harvest. Typically, they are eaten during the winter or dry season. Baling is a critical step in preparing feed for storage. Silage balers offer optimal quality, precision and cost-effectiveness. The key steps to note are to match the baler's pick-up to the shape of the harvester and modify the settings to create the optimal baler density expected. Technology such as tractor drive to produce a balanced grass flow is important in creating a high quality product. And it is important to use high quality bale net and baler twine. Today's technology makes it possible to store up to 500+ kilograms of silage in a single silage bag.

2. Master packaging technology

Take extra precautions when packaging to ""protect the package"" from harmful elements such as rodents or severe weather such as rain or high winds. However, its main purpose is to eliminate any oxygen seepage from the outside, and the contents must be ""sealed"" until they are opened for livestock consumption. Silage baling technology is usually performed by a separate baler. High-quality baling nets or baling ropes can ensure good silage results.

3. Storage and saving tips

Choose an open warehouse that is relatively closed in all aspects. In contrast to wilted straw bales, which do not dry well and should be placed on the ground on the curved side. Store silage bales on a hard, smooth surface so multiple pieces of equipment can be stacked on top of each other and retrieved easily. It is also recommended to cover the outside of the bales with netting to prevent any damage from pests or birds.

4. Handle with care

It is recommended that silage bales be transported to the storage area within one day of packaging. Be sure to prevent scratches and damage."
