In the agricultural sector, silage preservation is a critical concern for farmers worldwide. Silage, a type of fodder made from green foliage crops, is stored in a silo or clamp and is used to feed livestock during times when pasture is not available. However, maintaining silage quality is a challenge, particularly due to threats from birds, wildlife, and the elements. This is where Secure Covers steps in, offering an innovative solution to protect silage sheets from damage and ensure the longevity and quality of silage.
Unmatched Durability and Protection
Secure Covers are designed with the agricultural community's needs in mind, providing a robust solution to safeguard silage. Made from a patent-protected, tough interlocked knitted HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), these covers are not just any ordinary covering system. Their unique construction features a square thread design that has been proven to offer wind resistance over 50% better than any other silage covering system on the market. With over 20 years of proven durability, Secure Covers is a trusted name in feed storage protection.
Airtight Seal for Quality Silage
One of the key benefits of using Secure Covers is their ability to maintain an airtight seal over the silage. This is crucial for preventing aerobic spoilage, a common issue that leads to the deterioration of silage quality. The flexible non-fray knit of Secure Covers keeps the silage film in close contact with the silage surface, eliminating surface waste and reducing dry matter losses. This unique construction, coupled with the patent-protected square thread technology, ensures that the silage sheets remain in place, significantly improving silage quality by maintaining an essential airtight seal.
Protection from Wildlife and Elements
Secure Covers not only protect silage from the wind but also from birds and wildlife, which can cause significant damage to silage sheets. The finely knitted mesh of the covers prevents birds from feeding on the silage face and stops them from damaging the silage sheet. This dual action of protecting against both wildlife and the elements makes Secure Covers an indispensable tool for farmers looking to secure their feed storage.
Easy to Use and Environmentally Friendly
Ease of use is another hallmark of Secure Covers. They make sheeting up silage clamps quick, clean, and easy, replacing the need for tyres that can be cumbersome and environmentally unfriendly. Secure Covers are fixed in place using Secure Gravel Bags, and for clamps with steep sides, Gravel Bag Belts are recommended to securely fix the gravel bags in place. This system not only simplifies the process of covering silage but also contributes to a more sustainable farming practice by eliminating the need for tyres.
Long-Term Investment with UV Stability Guarantee
Investing in Secure Covers is a wise decision for the long-term protection of silage. All Secure Covers come with a 10-year full UV stability guarantee, ensuring that they will stand the test of time and provide years of protection. This guarantee underscores the quality and durability of Secure Covers, making them a cost-effective solution for preserving the quality of silage.
Conclusion
Secure Covers represent a significant advancement in silage protection technology. Their unique design, durability, and ease of use make them an essential tool for farmers looking to protect their silage from birds, wildlife, and the elements. With a 10-year UV stability guarantee, Secure Covers are not just a product but a long-term investment in the quality and safety of feed storage. As the agricultural sector continues to evolve, Secure Covers stand out as a leader in providing innovative solutions for silage protection.
