Handling & storage

Moist feed clamps should be on a clean concrete surface ideally with solid walls.
Line the walls with plastic sheets allowing for an overhang.
Easy access for delivery vehicles.
Compact either with a mechanical bucket or tractor rolling to dispel the air.
Ensure an even and smooth finish to avoid excessive trapped air when sheeted.
A sprinkling of salt over the surface will aid keeping quality.
Cover with a clean plastic sheet and weigh down evenly.
Keep the open face of the moist feed as small as possible and surrounding area clean to avoid spoilage.
Check and maintain the covering sheet to avoid mould growth caused by unwanted air entry.

Speak to your Area Sales Manager at least 2 months before silaging to work out the area that needs capping and the quantity of produce required.
Prepare and clean an area where the required loads of brewers' grains can be tipped before ensiling your forage.
When you finish consolidating the silage clamp spread the brewers' grains with a loading bucket at least 12inch deep over the surface of the clamp.
Consolidate the brewers' grains by pressing it down with bucket making sure you get an even cover with no gaps.
