Firm Favourites...even in heavy going.

When the race is on to beat spiraling bought-in feed costs and stay ahead of the field in producing your own home-grown forage, it pays to back some sure-fire winners!

Each one of the products listed here has a tried and tested track record. And by following our simple five-stage field-to-feedout ‘5Ps’ procedure you can be confident of success even in the most challenging conditions.

See our products online or call us today for more information and some great tips on how you can make the running in home-grown feed processing and preservation.

PROCESS

  • Grain Crimping Machines and Dry Grain Roller Mills

To suit every size of projected throughput for cereal grains and pulses, either dry (up to 25% moisture) or crimping and ensiling (from 25 to 45% moisture). We offer an extensive range of Finnish-manufactured Murska / Korte machines that meet our exacting standards of engineering excellence and reliability.

 

PRESERVE

  • Safesil Pro and Safesil Challenge

For all forages, dependent on dry matter. Will ensure fast, efficient fermentation with maximum nutrient retention, dry matter retention and aerobic stability at feedout.

 

  • MultiMax

For multicut systems where there is a higher risk of residual nitrogen and contaminants from slurry or multispecies swards with higher protein, MultiMax is specifically designed to destroy undesirable bacteria and facilitate a reliable lactic fermentation for maximum nutrient retention.

 

  • BaleSafe

Treating with BaleSafe allows hay and straw to be safely baled up to 25% moisture without wrapping. Also reduces DM loss and improves stability in wrapped haylage at 50-75% DM.

 

  • CrimpSafe 300 and CrimpSafe Hi-Dry

CrimpSafe 300 ensures a controlled fermentation and maximum nutrient retention for ensiled crimped grain above 25% moisture content. For effective preservation and ensiling of grain below 25% use CrimpSafe Hi-Dry.

 

  • Propcorn NC

A proven, non-corrosive successor to Propcorn. Safer to use, and with 70% less fumes than straight propionic acid, it is suitable for preserving whole or rolled grain and pulses with a moisture content of up to 25%, in aerobic conditions.

 

  • ProFlake NC

Designed to improve the physical quality of dry-rolled grain, and increase the storage life of processed cereals by up to 3 months. It inhibits yeasts and mould growth, and mycotoxin formation and ensures significant reduction in dust levels, helping to improve animal health and performance.

PREPARE

  • KlampClips

Like an extra pair of hands during clamp filling. Manufactured from sprung stainless steel and made-to-measure for different clamp wall thicknesses. Available in packs of 25.

 

  • Side Sheets

Essential to ensure a complete airtight seal. Heavy duty, 150μm, clear plastic in 50-metre rolls and in widths of 4, 5, 6 and 8 metres.

 

  • SiloBond

A multi-purpose agricultural adhesive formulated to bond silage sheets together or attach them to clamp walls. Makes hanging side sheets safer and easier; reduces the risk of damage when filling; reduces overlap and saves on plastic.

PACK

  • SilaPactor

Available in a range of widths from 2.1 metres to 4 metres, weighing from 2.5 to 6.0 tonnes. A SilaPactor can increase compaction density by up to 40%, is proven to cut DM losses

PROTECT

  • Farmguard

High-strength, recyclable silage sheeting. Uses advanced seven-layer technology for improved durability and tensile strength, tear resistance, a high degree of UV protection and easy, lightweight handling. Farmguard’s barrier to oxygen is up to 100 times that of standard silage sheeting.

 

  • O2 Barrier 2in1

The single sheet which transforms into two. Polyamide vacuum film layer up to 10 times less oxygen-permeable than conventional silage film that reduces time and labour required to seal the clamp.

 

  • BaleShield 160

Durable protection for hay, straw and wrapped forage bales. Tear-resistant waterproof fleece can be used time and again. Ideal for protecting forage in the open, close to where it’s needed. Sheets can be joined with hook and loop tape and held in place with clamps and screws supplied.

 

  • ClampShield 500

The ultimate protection for ensiled forage crops but with up to 75% less single-use plastic. This breathable polypropylene fleece can be reused over many years. Waterproof, easy to lay, and affording protection against birds. Sheets can be joined with hook and loop tape.

Better silage – better farm

Getting one job right on the farm can sometimes feed into another and so create a virtuous cycle, and this is the happy situation which has been experienced by brothers, Andrew and Mark Watkins, and their parents, Richard and Linda.
