Oxygen Limiting
Did you know that Harvestore's breather bags and oxygen-limiting design contribute to a significant reduction in storage feed loss? Typically, Harvestore's animal feed loss is less than 5 percent which in turn provides higher protein content and spoilage prevention with their storage systems.
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%

Other oxygen-limiting features built into a Harvestore's feed storage structure include the glass-fused-to-steel sheets, special sealants, rubber-like door gaskets, marine type doors and breather bags. It is true that all feed storage systems allow air (oxygen) into the stored feed and many variables will affect the oxygen levels such as opening the feeding door. However, Harvestore's feeding structures will help drastically reduce forage storage losses compared to other conventional storage methods.
