- Save time!
Studies have shown bedding times to be reduced by 29.5% when bedding with a processor as opposed to without one.
- Save bedding costs
Research conducted by Scotlands Rural College shows a reduction in straw usage of 18.2% when bedding with a bale processor.
- Increase safety
15% of all accidents on farms involve working in close proximity with livestock, bedding up from outside the pen eliminates that risk.
- Reduced waste
Using a bale processor helps to remove any mould or mildew that may have built up in your hay bales allowing you to make use of lesser quality bales when needed without compromising your cows diet. This can also reduce hay usage by up to 20%.
- Reduce stress on cows
Windrow feeding gives every cow the same opportunity to feed rather than the dominant cows bossing the entire bale/feeder. The less dominant cows will have less stress, healthier immune systems and improved overall health performance. Windrow feeding also makes it possible to ration feed.
- Increase weight gain efficiency
Beef cows can see a 30% improvement in weight gain efficiency by being bedded up on a good straw bed compared to those not on bedding.
- Reduced TMR mixing time
Pre-processing straw can massively reduce the time spent mixing, saving wear on your feeder and speeding up your feeding operation.
- Reduced mineral supplement
By removing mould and mildew from hay and breaking it down to a more palatable consistency the need to add supplements can be been reduced by as much as 80%.
