Dry Matter Loss

What's News:


 

 

During harvest, mechanically-induced losses are inevitable and can be detrimental in both the quantity and quality of the forage. Similarly, although not visible to the human eye, respiration of the harvest on a microbial level also is destructive to the forage. This respiration results in dry matter loss as well as a significant reduction in the quality of the harvest.

Harvestore is your solutions provider when it comes to protecting your bountiful harvest from dry matter loss. With our state-of-the-art glass-fused-to-steel patented structure and our established tradition of providing excellent harvest storage systems, we can construct a feed storage system that helps prevent dry matter loss.

Studies have identified that the dry matter lost during storage destroys the most nutritious parts of the hay. As a result, the hay quality is affected and the result is a decrease in potential intake and digestibility.
Typically, Harvestore’s system’s animal feed loss is less than 5 percent which in turn provides higher protein content and spoilage prevention.

Forage Storage Losses, Guidelines1

Oxygen-limiting (Harvestore) 3% to 8%
Concrete Tower 5% to 15%
Bunker—Covered 12% to 25%
Stack—Open 20% to 40%
