For breeders and farmers, of course, they are familiar with forage or silage. They make forage to store food reserves for their livestock. The silage method combines a working system of fermentation with storage. Furthermore, the finished forage will be wrapped in a net. For example, corn net wrap, which is forage feed wrapped in nets makes it easier to store long-term.

What is a Net Wrap?
Net wrap is a wrap that is widely used on grass straws. Grass straw that is ready to be stored is tied using a net wrap so that the straw does not fall. Although this thing works well and is very helpful, it still has drawbacks. One of the drawbacks is that opening this wrapping net requires a lot of time and effort. For this reason, this problem is still a challenge for net wrap users.
Corn net wrap is one unit of wrapping net with straw. Corn straw that has gone through the fermentation stage is then wrapped in the net wrap and stored until the livestock needs the stored food. By using this net-shaped wrapper, work will be more effective and productive.
Straw wrapped using this bale net wrap will lose less due to falling than wrapped using twine. In addition, using this material will give advantages to the transportation process. When hay is transported by truck or other vehicle, the straw that has been wrapped will not change its shape. This wrap is also known for being able to maintain the preservation of the straw, even in wet conditions.
One thing that makes removing the net wrap more difficult is when the hay isn’t tucked under the eaves when it snows. In addition, straw stored outdoors will be more susceptible to water. Even though only the bottom of the bale is exposed to water, it affects the quality of the straw bale as a whole.
Corn Silage Baller and Wrapper
Corn net wrap is one of the components of corn feed silage. To be able to make corn silage, a silage baller and wrapper machine are needed. This is a technique for preserving animal feed, such as cattle ruminants. With the help of this baller machine, the preservation process will run optimally. Why is that? The preservation process uses the fermentation method, which requires that the feed ingredients do not get air and are in acidic conditions.
In general and often found, silage is made from corn and sorghum. However, breeders do not rule out making silage from other materials such as grass. You can use cassava, oil palm, elephant grass, or other forages. This wrapping machine does not only work to wrap seeds from green plants. But this machine can wrap all parts of the green plant.
Breeders and farmers who use silage baller and wrapper machines will benefit. This machine can work effectively to wrap forage and maximize the fermentation process. In addition, baller and wrapper machines are efficient in wrapping food reserves. So you need to lift to move the position of the feed, where you want it.
The Benefits of Using a Baller and Wrapper Machine
If you want to get corn net wrapped with good quality and appearance, it is recommended to use this baller machine. Because it can maximize the fermentation process, it also maintains its appearance. Here are other benefits of using a silage wrapping machine.
Fodder is Preserved to the Maximum
The fermentation process is carried out with the help of anaerobic bacteria in the feed ingredients. Bacteria along with cellulose and carbohydrates will produce volatile fatty acids. With volatile fatty acid compounds, the pH of forage feed will decrease. As a result, the destructive bacteria in the fermentation process cannot live in an environment with a low pH.
Nutrients will Absorb Faster
The finished corn silage has a small shape. Likewise, the cellulose content has been broken down into smaller sizes. Thus, the process of absorption of nutrients by the livestock stomach will be faster. In addition, livestock that consumes silage is also facilitated by small feed sizes.
Wraps Faster
Corn net wrap with the help of this baller machine will not take long. That means this will make the packaging time more efficient. The baller machine wraps the silage in just a few minutes. Can’t you imagine if you had to pack tens of tons of forage feed? How long will it take you if you don’t use the help of this baller machine?
Are you interested in buying this baller and wrapper machine to shorten your silage wrapping? Make sure your decision is right to make corn net wrap work optimally. So that the nutrients in fermented feed can be absorbed in the livestock body. Thus, besides you don’t have to worry about running out of feed in winter, you also don’t have to worry about insufficient livestock nutrition.
