Kuhn’s Answer to Complete Diet Feeding
With the onset of the spring calving season dairy farms are busy places with not only the rush of young stock, but also the feeding of both dry cattle and those in the early stages of lactation.
Complete diet feeding is one answer to easing the management of herds that may have differing dietary requirements.
It is also widely considered to help ruminants make better use of feed ingredients if they are mixed rather than fed separately, leading to increased total solids in the milk.
Feeding at Gurteen Agricultural College
A popular type of machine by which to blend the fodder and concentrates is the tub or vertical mixer wagon which, at first sight, would appear to offer little scope for variation between makes, however, the devil, as always, is in the detail.
Recently, Kuhn held a demonstration day at Curtten Agricultural College in conjunction with the local dealer, Alan King Agri Sales of Roscrea.
Kuhn had brought along a 20m3 twin tub mixer wagon from its Profile range and a Primor trailed straw blower to put through their paces.
Agriland got to see an example of the Kuhn feeder in action – check out our video below.
