Reuseable Film Seals Silage Pits
 ✖  |
"Impermeable" clear plastic film promises to reduce spoilage in bunker silos. Silostop" film is only 45 microns thick, but creates an effective barrier to oxygen, reducing losses of silage to less than 5 percent and virtually eliminating surface mold, says Bruno Rimini Ltd., London, England. Tests show ordinary plastic film is 40 times more permeable to oxygen than Silostop. Protective tarpaulins can be used to protect the film from damage from birds and rodents, and also from ultraviolet radiation damage by sunlight. No weight is needed on the surface, except for sealing the edges. The company offers sandbags to do the job.
