MAKING QUALITY SILAGE is vital to beef and dairy farming in Ireland. In making silage there are two primary quality parameters that need to be considered, preservation and feeding value. Preservation must always be good in silage making. Covering your silage clamp with a poor quality cover can lead to a serious reduction in the quality of your silage. Poorly preserved silage could lose up to 5% units of DMD. Each drop of five DMD units reduces milk yield by almost 1.5 litres of milk per day, and raises the cost of finishing cattle by over €70.
Hyplast Silage Cover 99 99 99 99
Hermetix Heavy Duty Silage Cover
Proven quality for years High resistance to weathering Performs well even at extreme temperatures Thicker and stronger than most standard covers on the market
“The reduction in forage losses last winter paid for the new cover many times over. What I immediately noticed on opening the silo was the total absence of any discoloured forage at the surface of the clamp. The other advantage is the fact that I only had to put one cover on the silo last year. Normally we put two in place. So this saved valuable time for everyone concerned” Bill Fitzgearld, Glenmore.
Using both the Underlayer film and Hermetix cover will minimize silage waste. It takes roughly 18inches of settled silage to produce 6inches of waste. In a typical 30 x 50 10ft silage clamp and a cost of €25/t of silage, this can equate to 50t of silage waste or €1250.

Underlayer Silage Film 99 This sits directly beneath silage cover 99 Thinner and more flexible material allows it to “cling” to surface to avoid air pockets 99 Produce better quality silage with less waste.
99 High oxygen barrier reduces silage surface spoilage by restricting oxygen permeation and the growth of molds and improves aerobic stability 99 Fits into landscape with green layer 99 Double black layers ensure better preservation and faster fermentation 99 Hermetic makes covering your silage pit quick, clean and easy with labour savings 99 High impact and tear resistant 99 Available in 60 x 80, 60 x 100 or 60 x 120
“The under layer to put it simply acts like clingfilm on your lunch. It seals out any of the air and it stops the top layer of silage going off so you have no wastage. When you open the pit, the top layer of silage is perfect and no labour involved in cleaning off spoiled silage. It’s worth the investment because it more than repays itself” Eddie Mackey, Mooncoin

• Sow at 8kg/acre rate when overseeding • Ideally grub/scratch the surface: this will help that seed / soil contact but also will remove some dead grass that is there • Light rolling afterwards will attain the contact required with soil • Important that damp weather follows - dry weather will give poor establishment • Keep covers low after sowing to control old sward • Ensure good Soil to seed contact – not suitable in swards • If badly damaged – a full reseed may be more cost effective
