A1 Mist Sprayers- Feed Bunk Blower

Feed bunk management is very important because it can have a significant impact on dry matter intake in dairy and feedlot situations. Remove snow in the winter months and reduce stale forage build up, mold growth, and odor in the rest of the year.

Dairymen see that cleaning feed bunks once a day is a good management practice to prevent inoculation of fresh feed with undesirable aerobic organisms. Dairy cows will consume more at a meal after a bunk has been cleaned. In fact, it has been shown to improve dry matter intake by one to two pounds per day, which in turn affects their milk production, and the dairy's profitability.

In beef feedyard situations, feed bunk management means providing cattle with fresh, nutritionally balanced, palatable feed and keeping it available to them at all times. The dry matter intake of feedlot cattle can be a key to animal performance and profitability. Each pound of ration you add, over and above that needed for maintenance, increases gain by approximately .25 pounds/head/day. These daily rate of gain increases are the difference in profitablity in the beef feedlot operation!
