Our silage tube sizes are 1.5M x 1M for the white on black type which holds 350kgs of livestock crop silage material. The color is white on black so that the white remains on the outside to reflect excess heat. Black on the inside to keep it warm. This is for dairy farmers doing outside storage

For those storing dairy livestock silage material indoors, our small bag for sale is black on black. It absorbs heat at room temperature and retains it. This bag size is 1M x 1M in dimension, to hold 200kgs of silage matter. Our silage bags prices in Kenya differ according to size. This is given in details below

Farmers who buy silage tubes by Grekkon Limited enjoy useful for many cycles of silage storage because of the anti ultra violet (UV) treatment. This treatment prevents the degradation of the bags by harmful UV rays. It is important in tropical conditions where UV radiation is intense.
