To the best of my knowledge tb bugs need oxygen to survive, of which there wouldn't be a whole lot inside a silage clamp
When we depopulated,we were told to take the first couple of inches off the feed face and then close the pit
When we re populated we had no reactors or factory positives in over a decade despite using that silage
