As farmers face increasing pressure to improve sustainability, operational efficiency, feed quality and economic performance, many livestock farmers are rethinking their silage system. Now increasing in popularity, film binding, also known as Film&Film wrapping, is attracting those who seek well preserved, high quality silage.

Widely used in many countries for several years, Film&Film overcomes the limitations of traditional netwrap binding. It addresses current challenges related to forage quality, climate variability, and stricter environmental regulations. A quality balewrap system, which secures high nutritional value is becoming a priority for livestock farmers who want to protect their yields.

Optimised bale density, ensuring better preservation

Using film to bind the bale rather than netwrap provides a higher holding force. By limiting the bale’s expansion, it significantly reduces the amount of air trapped inside, a key element in fermentation quality. Traditional netwrap systems are now showing their limitations, whereasthe Film&Film method creates a denser, more stable bale, and therefore better protection against oxygen ingress.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
