The AgBag System for farms storing animal feed
The AgBag System eliminates the problems of traditional storage.
The exterior white layer of AgBag's unique 3-ply construction repels solar heat and keeps the bag and contents cooler.
The black inner lining keeps out sunlight and preserves valuable nutrients.
With UV inhibitors to resist sun damage, each AgBag is built to last two years in rugged weather conditions, although we have known contents to still be OK after 7 years!

How the system works..
- The airtight environment prevents growth of aerobic bacteria, moulds and insects. It eliminates the need for dangerous chemicals and fumigants and also enhances the benefits of cool fermentation with optimal levels of lactic acid, without damaging heat build-up. The result is an easily digestible and highly nutritious feed that livestock prefer, providing higher production without expensive feed supplements.
- The AgBag system puts unlimited, low-cost storage capacity exactly where you need it. Bags can be placed for convenient access allowing feed to be removed with a front-end loader or be self-fed. AgBags store a wide variety of feeds, grains, crop residues and by-products. Feed rations can be blended and balanced. The low investment cost can significantly raise profit margins.
- The AgBag System has all the preservation benefits associated with extremely high quality tower silage, but with less complications. The AgBags are laid down (rather than upright), allowing easier access.
- The ability to direct your best feed to the stock most capable of exploiting it, is an important bonus of the AgBag System. First-cut silage can be selectively bagged rather than buried with poorer second and third cuts.
How quick is the process?
Our team of nationwide trained contractors offer a fast, efficient service at a fixed price, with no hidden extras. The robust AgBag machines can fill the storage bags up to 3 tonnes per minute and we use one man and a machine to carry out the job.
How much does it cost?
Our prices work out between £5.50 to £7.00 per tonne of feed stored and following a survey we will provide you with a fixed cost for the work. We charge per running metre of AgBag used, which equates to around £23 - £25 per metre. Per running metre, around 4 to 5 tonnes of material can be stored in an AgBag. We stock a wide range of bag sizes in the AgBag Sales Store.
The AgBag system can be used with:
The AgBag system has been proven to raise feed margins by £200 per dairy cow; £50 per beef animal and can double cereal margins. For more information read our leaflet “AgBag - the flexible, efficient and profitable storage system”
