Feed Quality - Medium Moisture Forage
What's News:

 

 

 

Harvestore introduced the concept of haylage in 1949 creating a major change in the way dairy cows are fed. Building rations around haylage has helped countless dairy producers maximize their cows’ production. In addition, by feeding haylage, successful Harvestore owners have cut back on harvesting losses compared to hay and reduced waste at feeding time.

Maturity, moisture content, chop length and filling rate are important factors in the production of high quality fermented forages. Follow these recommendations:

Moisture Content Wet Basis
Chop Length (Theoretical)
Alfalfa Haylage
Early to Mid-Bud
40-55%
3/8"
Clover Haylage
Late Bud to 1/10 Bloom
40-55%
3/8"
Cereal Grains
Boot Stage
40-55%
3/8"
Sudan Grasses
24"-36" height
40-55%
3/8"
Southern Grasses
(See Operators Manual)
40-55%
1/4" to 3/8"
Cornlage
Fully Mature
40-60%
3/8" to 1/2"
Sorghum Silage
Fully Mature
40-55%
3/8" to 1/2"
