Silage covers play an important role in reducing surface spoilage.. By securely covering the stack, Silage covers create a barrier that limits surface oxygen exposure. This minimizes the growth of undesirable bacteria, yeasts, and molds that can lead to spoilage.
Silage covers also protect against moisture infiltration, which also contribute to surface spoilage. By maintaining a controlled anaerobic environment, the cover helps preserve the quality and integrity of the silage, reducing the risk of surface spoilage. Additionally, a properly fitted and maintained silage cover can prevent pests and birds from accessing the silage, further minimizing the risk of contamination and spoilage.
