KUHN - BALING TEST // #2 Forage quality analysed after 6 weeks of storage

The first results are known! Which bale will be better? The net bound bale or the film bound bale with one less layer of wrapping film?
Six weeks ago, the KUHN-team made bales with different binding and wrapping methods. One set of bales was bound with net and then wrapped with 6 layers of film. The other set was bound with film and then wrapped with 5 layers of film. The Eurofins Agrolaboratory took samples of the bales and analysed the feed value and preservation after 6 weeks of storage.

Used khun baler this year with film on film silage quality is very good easier to open Film than other baler we used have up using net last year

Hello there, Thanks for your comment! Film binding indeed offers many advantages compared to net binding. This video shows the differences between the two binding methods: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3TOoYeMlN98prs

The grass they baled did look dry, my take from this, if it’s haylage use net wrap. silage use film on film for a better quality silo my only question, she always 5 layers of film? if you add up the barre film + 5 layers = 8 layers 2 net wrap + 6 layers of film = 8 layers be intresting to see the costs on each bale

Hello there! Thanks for your comment. The crop that is used for this test has a dry matter content of 45%. Film binding is the better solution for this crop. The set of bales with film binding is wrapped with 5 layers. Together with the 3 layers around the bale from the binding system, there are indeed 8 layers in total on the rounded side of the bale. This test is to check if the extra layers of film binding in combination with 3D wrapping, can save a layer of wrapping. Net wrap offers no extra protection. So the set of bales with net wrap have a total of 6 layers of film. Kindly, KUHN Group Team
