Heavy Duty Silage Mat NEW
Price range: £116.20 through £1,614.88
Our Heavy Duty Silage Mats are used to cover and seal silage or maize pits. At 34kg each, they will not blow off or lift in the wind. The weight is evenly spread across the surface, and the rubber mats mould themselves to the shape of the pit, ensuring a tight air seal.
It has been proven using silage mats helps slow down the decomposition of silage or maize, and in turn, this helps reduce the volume of effluent. The design of the mat provides total protection from birds and other wildlife.

Details and Benefits
What is the purpose of Silage Mats?
Heavy duty Silage mats are used to cover silage or maize in pits. The Silage mats are 30kg each, so they will not blow off or lift in the wind. The weight is evenly spread across, and the rubber mats mould themselves to the shape of the pit, ensuring a tight air seal. It has been proven using silage mats helps slow down the decomposition of silage or maize, and in turn, this helps reduce the volume of effluent. They provide total protection against birds who cannot peck through as there are no holes.
Why shouldn’t I use old tyres?
Of course, using old tyres is a cheaper option, but as they are circular, it is impossible to cover every square inch of the cover. This increases the risk of birds pecking through the cover and creates air pockets, increasing the chance of mould and unusable silage. With Silage Mats, the yield of usable silage is massively increased, meaning you need to purchase less should you have not harvested enough or will even be left with a surplus you can sell.
Silage Pit Mats Protect Livestock
Metal decomposition can occur in old tyres that can contaminate feed. Our silage pit mats are 100% rubber. It is said the better the seal, the better quality of silage, which in turn helps with milk quality/yield in Dairy herds and weight gain in Livestock.
Protecting Yourself and Others
Water runs over the mats’ surface with ease resulting in fewer pools of stagnant water that can act as a breeding ground for infections like Weil’s disease. They are 100% rubber, with no metal or other fillers, eliminating the risk of contamination.
