Suitable for grass silage, maize, wholecrop and bales.

Slurry Treatments

Last year, Sonya conducted a trial on a customer’s farm to evaluate the effectiveness of using a silage treatment. Sonya visited the farm at regular intervals monitoring the results by taking samples, photographs and videos. The results were positive:

Reduced solids.
Less crusting which will help produce a more homogeneous and nutrient rich fertiliser.
Improved pumpability.
Reduced odour and flies.
Less time and fuel spent on stirring as the bugs have done most of the work.
Higher nutrient value slurry – particularly nitrogen.
Better soil health.
Higher crop yields.

This customer is now a regular user of Maneuver lagoon by Chr. Hansen which we can supply direct to your farm through our close working relationship with Forage Tech .
