Completely processed kernels mean all the starch is going to be
available to the cow – totally smashed rather than just cracked.
Previous foragers using a conventional corn cracker had to chop
all the fibre to nothing to get the kernels properly processed. Now,
using the SHREDLAGE® processor, we can get longer pieces of fibre
through which increases the butterfat percentage in our milk
After two years of using SHREDLAGE® processed maize, it’s an
investment that seems to have paid off. Although there are a number
of factors to take into consideration, it’s enabling us to produce higher
levels of butterfat without reducing yields.
