Premium Bulk Roll Silage Covers
Donaghys’ Premium Bulk Rolls are manufactured using Smart Structure™ multi-layer extrusion technology, which provides long-term protection against the elements. This technology combines the products low density polyethylene (LDPE) thermoplastic with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) to generate a stronger, tougher film without compromise. Our covers are less likely to tear or puncture during the handling and covering operation, as they are tougher and stronger than traditional covers. Premium Black/White silage covers provide outstanding reflective properties – white on the outside to reflect the light and reduce heat transfer, and black underneath to absorb heat and light, creating great fermentation.
• Special narrow roll width for ease of transport
• Free-fall-folded, one-piece cover for ease of application
• Warranted for 12 months against manufacturer defaults and faults caused by UV exposure
• Extremely air tight with low oxygen permeability to promote good lactic fermentation, preserving the fodder and nutritional value
• Excellent mechanical properties
• High puncture resistance
• Precision-wound, with additional roll protection

Because Donaghys Crop Packaging and its suppliers are at the leading edge of silage film development and manufacture, our range of silage covers are less likely to tear or puncturing during the handling and covering operation. Donaghys’ Retail and Bulk Roll silage covers provide outstanding reflective properties. White on the outside to reflect the light and reduce heat transfer, and black underneath to absorb heat and light to assist with fermentation. All covers are UV-stabilised for New Zealand conditions and are guaranteed for a minimum 12 months in the field from failure due to UV degradation. Master rolls feature metre marks for convenience.
Donaghys Crop Packaging offers a full range of Retail Silage covers in various widths and lengths, suitable for individual covering. Manufactured using the latest multi-layer extrusion technology, our Heavy Black/White covers are less likely to tear or puncture during the handling and covering operation, making them tougher and stronger than traditional covers. These premium black/white silage covers provide outstanding reflective properties – white on the outside to reflect the light and reduce heat transfer, and black underneath to absorb heat and light.
• Enhanced puncture resistance and tear strength for superior field performance and protection from moisture
• 100% opacity and UV-stabilised with 12 month UV warranty

Silage Covers Combi Vaporfilm
Covering silage with a thin, impermeable film before conventionally sheeting with a normal silage cover is a process used by contractors around the world. Our Combi Cover is a silage cover and underlayer all rolled in to one. Combi Cover provides the same benefits of using a 40-micron cling film underlay and a 127-micron UV-stabilised outer, without having to roll them out as individual covers.
The primary Oxygen Barrier Film sheet sucks down onto the silage to create a vacuum where all oxygen trapped under the cover is absorbed by the natural fermentation. The result is an air-tight clamp, with little to no top or shoulder waste. Usual waste can be eliminated by as much as 100%, saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars in lost silage.
• Users can save up to $5.50 per ton of silage
• Aerobic stability is increased by up to two-and-a-half days, so silage on the face and in front of the cows stays fresh and nutrient-rich for longer
• Combi Vapour covers are specially rolled in a free-falling configuration, enabling both the underlayer and top cover to be easily deployed on the pile in one action
• Dry matter loss in the top 1 meter of silage is reduced by up to 50%

Polydress O2 Barrier Cover
POLYDRESS® O2 Barrier 2in1 is the first cover combination of protective film and sealing film that offers a 6-to-10 times increased oxygen barrier. The highlight is the 2in1 film combination can be put on the silage in one application. The product is designed to be flexible for easier handling, which makes it a real time saver for the end user.
The cling seal is designed to separate soon after application. It then clings to the surface of the silage during the fermentation process, helping to effectively avoid moisture spots and decreasing the risk of mould formation.
• Constant silage preservation
• Lighter weight for easier handling
• UV-resistant
• Independent film separation

Lastic-Tubes
Lastic-Tubes® are manufactured using 7-layer Smartstructure™ technology which provides long-term protection. Combining low-density (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) with 7-layer Smartstructure™ technology generates a stronger and tougher film, without compromise. Tubes made from this technology are less likely to tear or puncture during the handling and covering operation because they are tougher and stronger. The exclusive stretch tube has a memory design technology that automatically shrinks down tight around the bale, eliminating oxygen and creating the ideal environment for fermentation. A fast and efficient way to preserve baled silage, the Lastic-Tube® system provides a practical way to gain improved palatability of soft-textured baled silage. Bloat and other digestive problems are also reduced, and there is less waste compared to dry hay used in traditional round-bale feeders. Baled silage is readily adaptable to most dry hay systems and can be unrolled in the field with less leaf loss than dry hay. It can also be chopped and fed from the tube.
- The fastest, most efficient way to protect and ensile hay and cereal forages of all types
- Can be used with round or large square bale systems
- Bales for silage can be put up at higher moisture – between 40% and 60%, reducing leaf loss and weather delays
- Because of its unique formulation, the strong, tear-resistant Lastic Tube automatically shrinks down tight against the bale. This eliminates oxygen and creates an air tight environment for fermentation, to produce the highest quality silage and keep it that way until required
- Designed to withstand New Zealand’s climate and warranted for 12 months against manufacturer’s defects
