Palatable silage

For palatable silage, capping with a co-product is an interesting option.

Why cover silage with a co-product?

To reduce the use of plastic sheeting and potential risks to your livestock from tyre wires
Co-products add feed value
Moist citrus pulp deters vermin

Speak to your Area Sales Manager at least 2 months before silaging to work out the area that needs capping and the quantity of produce required.
Prepare and clean an area where the required loads of citrus can be tipped before ensiling your forage.
When you finish consolidating the silage clamp spread the citrus pulp with a loading bucket at least 12inch deep over the surface of the clamp.
Consolidate the citrus pulp by pressing it down with bucket making sure you get an even cover with no gaps.
