Feed Savings Calculator
Most of the savings are achieved by a reduction in the amount of bale which is wasted.
Feed wastage can be caused by various factors:-
- Bale is not teased apart enough making it harder for stock to eat
- Animals laying or trampling on fodder
- Bales which are unfinished in a ring feeder because the ground conditions are too poor for animals to reach the rest
- Stock rejecting feed because of dirt, mud or other contaminants
- Savings can be made by feeding the right amount of the bale, and retaining the rest for the next feed
- By feeding over a larger area than with a ring feeder, there is less competition between the amimals
Typical savings achieved by using a Hustler Chainless bale feeder are between 15-40%, depending on your existing feeding system (chain feeders typically save 10-35%).
