HAY COVERS

In the presence of hay bale moisture, bacteria and fungus thrive, eating up the most easily digestible nutrients. Combining the bleaching effects of the sun, with the nutrient destructive capabilities of microrganisms, is a sure way to destroy up to one-third of the nutrient value of the crop. Only the innermost portion of the bale remains nutritious, and the animal is forced to eat moldy hay to get there. The health and growth effects on the animal are obvious. Productive growth in beef herds is slowed. In dairy herds, milk production is reduced and reproduction problems may develop. Slip-Ons/Bale Bonnet protected hay can deliver herd health and greater productivity... We sell plastic sleeves bonnets to cover and protect round bales of hay and white plastic bale bags for high moisture haylage. We also sell stretch film for high moisture haylage bales. In business since 1979.
