Hay drying for bio and biodynamic farms
Why mechanical hay drying?
Hay drying by machine offers numerous advantages over conventional hay production. With the right system, you can derive the utmost benefits from this technological advancement. We have set ourselves the goal of producing these systems for you in accordance with our basic principles, namely worthwhile living and being profitable, sustainable and natural.
What are the benefits?
- 24 hours to bring in the hay
- No need to worry about the weather
- No stress during planning
- Turn hay only twice
- High efficacy for faster harvests
- Higher milk yields – hay loses a lot of nutrients when it is dried conventionally in the sun, as it needs to be turned more often (causing leaves to break off and small crumbs to be lost). These disadvantages do not occur with mechanical drying.
- No fungal infestations in feeds from wet hay
- No more farmer’s lung
- High performance speeds up the harvesting process
What happens to the food quality?
- contains more nutrients in the hay
- less supplementary feeding of concentrates
- healthier animals - lower veterinarian costs
- milk yield remains the same during winter feeding
