Silage in Hundred Pound Bags May
Be Coming for Small Herd Owners
The use of a plastic film ma
terial may soon make it possible
ior small-scale livestock produc
cr<- to buy high quality silage in
lots as small as 100 pounds each
The possibility was discovered
this year while work was being
done on a joint research project
carried out by the University of
Missouri and the Visking Co. of
Terre aute, Ind.
Chemists found that silage and
giams with a high moisture con
tent can be stored and preserved
successfully in bags of polyeth
lene plastic film Results indicate
that silage stoied in the 100
pound plastic containers is highly
palatable to all farm animals that
c/dinanly eat silage
AN ATTEMPT to bag and pre
serve silage and high moisture
grain in other types of bagging
would be unsuccessful because
conventional bags would allow air
to enter the package and thereby
cause spoilage The plastic film
corrected this condition since this

material allows silage gasses to
-escape, but keeps air out of the
package.
Being able to store high mois
ture gram and forage crops in
the plastic containers offers sev
eral advantages As mentioned, it
would make silage available to
the small scale livestock producer
in small quantities at a reason
able price And, too, it would be
ideal for the part-time or hobby
farmer who keeps a milk cow,
milk goats or a feut rabbits
ALSO IT CAN provide the feed
industry with a product that isn’t
ijow available This, m turn,
woufd give forage producers a
market for a product that might
otherwise be wasted.
Storage of high-moisture gram
is a troublesome problem in many
areas and this new development
may be a valuable aid in this re
spect.
In their work, chemists Merle
Muhrer and Richard Bloomfield
used plastic tubing 25 inches in
diametei- cut to various lengths
depending upon how much silage
was to be put into each bag.
AFTER THE TUBING was cut
to the desired length, one end
was tied tightly and then fille*d
with silage, packed, and the other
end Ksd tightly The resulting bag
with both ends tied, doubled back,
and tightly retied, was convenient
for stacking and handling as
handles were formed by the
double tying on both ends
Anyone epecting to store silage
in plastic containers as a result
of the new information must take
extreme precautions, the two men
note First of all, it’s extremely
important that the ties at both
ends of the bag be air tight.
IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT that
the plastic isn’t punctured during
packing or storage as spoilage
would result If a puncture or tear
is found after the silage is in the
hag, a strip of pressurized plastic
tape should be pressed over the
hole to seal it and keep out any
additional air

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN that forage harvested and stored
in a tightly-tied plastic bag makes high-quality silage that
livestock, sue has this cow, relish The new method of
storing silage in small quantities may soon make it possible
for small-scale livestock producers to buy bagged silage as
needed through commercial channels
