Probblems with Bale wrap

[Forkdriver]

Good luck with that.They will blame everything but the wrap,bales too wet,too dry,misshapen,too coarse,wrapper set wrong etc.Been there before,so now i only use brands i completely trust on other peoples bales.If i want to try something new i will wrap my own bales with it.There is still plenty of poor quality wrap out there,worst ive tried lately was an expensive 7 layer wrap that left plenty of mouldy bales even at 8 layers.Later learned that 7 layered wrap only benefits the manufacturer.

Which make do you recommend please?

I suspect this is mould, not fungus, which begs the question, what colour is it?

White mould is harmless though from choice I wouldn't feed it. Black mould or smelly mould is poisonous.

I had white mould on haylage bales (6 layers of wrap, three year old haylage!) so gave it to a neighbour for his cattle as I was reluctant to feed it to my horses. He sold it to his liveries!

It's a mixture of little mushrooms poking out, soaking wet at bottom, patches of black mouldy and some white yeast areas. Patches are packed hard and can peel off the outside layer to get down to the usable stuff. We have had two bales that were really bad, one good one and the rest so far manageable. They ain't going to improve with keeping.

Brands I trust are Silotite,the mole valley total bale plus,and unterland coveris,power stretch is also ok.
