Many farmers underestimate forage losses.
But wrapping is one of the key factors that determines how much feed you actually preserve.
Where losses occur:
- bale edges
- ground contact
- moisture exposure
- incorrect wrapping
Full Bale Coverage
✔ edge-to-edge wrapping
👉 reduces edge losses
Correct Number of Wraps
✔ balance between:
- protection
- material usage
Bale Density
✔ higher density = better preservation
High-Quality Net Wrap
✔ consistent tension
✔ no tearing
Weather Protection
✔ UV resistance
✔ proper covering
Results
Proper wrapping can deliver:
✔ up to 20–30% loss reduction
✔ consistent forage quality
✔ more usable feed
Conclusion
Wrapping is not a cost.
It is a profit tool.
