Using Silage Covers

  • Ensure silage is properly compacted to remove as much air as possible prior to covering.
  • Where possible use with Zilltec Mesh Protective Covers on top, and Rhinotec Transparent Silage Sealing Plastic underneath. This will offer the best possible sealing and result in best quality silage out.
  • Cover silage as soon as possible after compaction. Research shows that losses increase quickly as time goes by.
  • Ensure sufficient overlap for each cover, and weigh down with Zill Silo Bags, tires, or sandbags.
  • Seal edges with Zill Silo Bags, soil, tires or sandbags to ensure an air-tight seal and ensure that water can not enter the stack or pit.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between silage covers and silage tarps?

    The terms silage covers and silage tarps are often used interchangeably, but there are subtle differences. Silage covers typically refer to purpose-built protective sheets designed specifically for agricultural silage storage, featuring heavy-duty construction and UV resistance. Silage tarps, whilst serving the same function, may encompass a broader range of tarpaulin-style coverings. At Grevillia Ag, our European-made silage covers combine the durability you’d expect from industrial tarps with specialised features for optimal silage preservation, including airtight sealing and weather resistance to maintain feed quality.

  • What makes a quality silage tarp in Australia different from standard agricultural covers?

    A quality silage tarp Australia farmers rely on must meet specific requirements for effective silage preservation. Unlike standard agricultural covers, premium silage tarps feature UV-resistant materials that withstand Australia’s harsh sun, superior tear resistance for handling during application and removal, and excellent oxygen barrier properties to maintain anaerobic conditions essential for proper fermentation. Quality silage covers also include reinforced edges and grommets for secure anchoring against strong winds. European-made silage tarps particularly excel in durability and performance, offering Australian farmers cost-effective protection that extends silage quality and reduces waste throughout storage periods.

  • What makes quality silage tarps in Australia different from standard covers?

    Quality silage tarps Australia farmers rely on are specifically engineered to withstand harsh Australian weather conditions, including extreme UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and severe storms. Unlike standard covers, premium silage tarps feature reinforced edges, superior puncture resistance, and advanced UV stabilisation that can last multiple seasons. At Grevillia Ag, our European-made silage covers are manufactured with heavy-duty materials and precise weaving techniques that create truly airtight seals, preventing oxygen ingress and spoilage. This ensures your silage maintains optimal nutritional value and reduces waste, making them a cost-effective investment for Australian agricultural operations seeking reliable feed preservation solutions.
