🌽 MAIZE HARVEST IS COMING. IS YOUR CLAMP READY?
With hot, dry conditions putting pressure on forage production across parts of the UK and Europe, protecting every tonne harvested matters.
Good silage preservation starts before the first trailer arrives. Taking time now to prepare your clamp can help minimise avoidable losses and protect the dry matter and nutrients you put into store.
Before harvest, check:
🔍 Clamp condition – inspect floors and walls and repair any damage.
🧹 Cleanliness – clear out old silage, debris and anything that could damage the film or contaminate the fresh forage..
⬜ Wall film – have it ready to line the clamp and help create an effective seal around the edges/silage shoulders..
📏 Film requirements – calculate what you'll need before harvest starts, including oxygen barrier film and protective covers.
⚫ Weights & sealing materials – make sure gravel bags, tyres (tires) or other weighting systems are ready and in good condition.
🚜 Your filling plan – plan for effective consolidation and rapid sealing once filling is complete. Well planned logistics will help save diesel and idling time too.
A well-prepared clamp gives you the best possible start to protecting this year's maize crop.

🫧 O oxigênio não apenas deteriora a silagem. Ele inicia uma reação em cadeia. Quando o oxigênio entra no silo, microrganismos aeróbios naturalmente presentes passam a utilizar os nutrientes da silagem como fonte de alimento.
🔥 À medida que metabolizam açúcares, proteínas e ácido lático, nutrientes são perdidos, calor é gerado e as perdas de matéria seca começam a aumentar.
📊 O infográfico abaixo mostra como o oxigênio inicia uma reação em cadeia que reduz progressivamente a qualidade da silagem — porque toda entrada de oxigênio representa uma oportunidade para a deterioração.
🛡️ Evitar a entrada de oxigênio, por meio de uma vedação eficiente e de uma tecnologia de barreira ao oxigênio de alto desempenho, é uma das formas mais eficazes de preservar nutrientes, minimizar perdas de matéria seca e proteger a qualidade da silagem.Porque toda entrada de oxigênio é uma oportunidade para a deterioração da silagem.

🫧 Oxygen doesn't just spoil silage. It starts a chain reaction.
Once oxygen enters a silage clamp, naturally occurring aerobic microorganisms begin using the silage as a food source.
🔥 As they metabolise valuable sugars and lactic acid, nutrients are lost, heat is generated and dry matter losses begin to increase.
📊 The infographic below shows how oxygen sets off a chain reaction that progressively reduces silage quality—and why every pathway for oxygen is a pathway to spoilage.
🛡️ Preventing oxygen ingress through effective sealing and high-performance oxygen barrier technology is one of the most effective ways to preserve nutrients, minimise dry matter losses and protect silage quality.
Because every pathway for oxygen is a pathway to spoilage.

Still using conventional PE film?
See what happens when oxygen gets through.
Oxygen is one of the biggest causes of deterioration in stored forage. That's why keeping it out is so important.
In this simple demonstration, banana slices were sealed beneath a standard PE film and Passion Yellow Oxygen Barrier Film.
The result is easy to see.
The banana beneath the standard PE film browned much more quickly, while the banana beneath Passion Yellow remained noticeably fresher.
While bananas clearly aren't silage, they provide a simple visual demonstration of what happens when more oxygen reaches what's being protected.
The same principle applies to silage. The more oxygen that enters the clamp, the greater the opportunity for deterioration and dry matter loss.
🎥 Watch the difference for yourself.

How T H I C K should a silage film be?
Thickness is easy to see and feel, but the most important measure of performance is its Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR).
OTR measures how much oxygen passes through a silage film over a 24-hour period.
The lower the OTR, the better the oxygen barrier.
OTR values are usually reported using one of two recognised test methods:
• ASTM D3985 – measures oxygen transmission using 100% oxygen.
• DIN 53380-3 (or the equivalent ISO method) – measures transmission using air (21% oxygen).
The numbers are different because the test conditions are different, but the principle is always the same:
Lower OTR = Better oxygen protection.
For example, a thick black polyethylene sheet may feel stronger, but it can still allow significant amounts of oxygen to pass through. By comparison, a true oxygen barrier film such as Passion Yellow has an OTR around 1,000 times lower than conventional polyethylene films, helping to dramatically reduce oxygen ingress into the clamp.
So next time you're comparing silage films, don't just compare the thickness.
Compare the OTR—and make sure it's a high performance oxygen barrier film.

Blue is the new black. 🧊
For decades, silage covers were black. Not because the colour preserved silage better, but because black carbon-based pigments provided one of the most practical and economical ways to protect the plastic itself from UV degradation.
But farming has changed. Technology has changed. And so has the European climate.

That's the thinking behind Passion Supreme Blue.

Black covers absorb more of the sun's energy, leading to higher surface temperatures. In many warmer agricultural regions, white or lighter-coloured silage covers have become the preferred choice because they reflect more solar radiation and help reduce heat build-up. Excessive heating can contribute to undesirable changes within the forage, including Maillard reactions that reduce protein digestibility and ultimately limit animal performance.
Passion Supreme Blue combines a lighter-coloured film with modern oxygen barrier technology and built-in UV protection, helping to reduce heat build-up while protecting silage from oxygen ingress—all in a single sheet.

✔️ Lighter than traditional black to help reduce heat absorption.
✔️ Advanced oxygen-barrier technology to help minimise oxygen ingress.
✔️ Built-in UV protection for season-long durability.
✔️ A robust single-sheet design that helps protect silage from harvest through to feed-out.

The UK's climate is changing.
It's time your silage cover changed too.
Blue really is the new black.

Summer heat is unavoidable. Heating losses aren't.

4 simple ways to reduce heating and spoilage during feed-out

Once a clamp is opened, every effort should be made to keep oxygen out and silage quality in. During periods of warm weather, good feed-out management becomes even more important.

1️⃣ Keep a clean, vertical clamp face
A smooth, tight face helps reduce oxygen pe*******on and minimise spoilage.

2️⃣ Remove silage evenly across the face
Avoid creating ledges or leaving loose material exposed to the air.

3️⃣ Minimise oxygen exposure
Only expose the amount of silage needed each day, maintaining a minimum feed-out rate of 20 cm/day. Keep the remaining clamp tightly sealed with a high-quality oxygen barrier and protective cover to minimise air ingress.

4️⃣ Remove spoiled or heated silage
Clearing away loose material and feed refusals helps maintain forage quality and feed intakes.

When temperatures rise, every pass across the clamp face matters.

🌡️ 🌡️ 🌡️ Is the summer heat reaching the clamp face?

Across Europe, hot, dry weather is forcing many farmers to begin feeding silage earlier than usual. But opening the clamp while temperatures remain high also increases the risk of heating and aerobic spoilage.

Once oxygen reaches the silage, valuable dry matter and feed quality can quickly be lost.

▶️ In this short video, our technical team explains how to:

✔️ Maintain a clean, tight clamp face

✔️ Minimise oxygen exposure

✔️ Reduce heating and spoilage

✔️ Help preserve silage quality from clamp to feed fence

🌱 DON'T CONFUSE ABUNDANCE WITH SURPLUS

The UK has grown one of the best silage crops in years. Now farmers need to make it last.

The UK and Ireland's forage season has given many farmers plenty to be optimistic about. With second and even third cuts already in the clamp, forage analysis suggests 2026 has produced some of the highest-quality first-cut silage seen for several years.

☀️ And it's just as well that nature delivered. After weeks of exceptionally hot weather, some livestock farms have already started drawing on winter silage reserves as grazing land has literally dried up.

Exceptional silage is also exceptionally valuable. After one of the most expensive growing seasons for some time, every tonne in the clamp represents a significant investment. And with uncertainty surrounding European grain and maize production this season, home-grown forage could become even more precious over the coming months.

⚠️ There's another reason not to become complacent. The same higher sugar levels and readily digestible nutrients that make this year's silage so valuable to livestock also provide an ideal food source for yeasts and moulds if oxygen reaches the clamp. Once air gets in, heating and aerobic spoilage can reduce dry matter, feed quality and ultimately the value of the crop you've worked so hard to produce.

🛡️ That's why protecting silage doesn't end when the harvest is over. Effective oxygen-barrier films, secure sealing and good feed-out management all help ensure the silage entering the ration is the same high-quality forage that went into the clamp.

This year's silage may be one of the best you've ever made. Don't let abundance become waste. Protect every tonne.
