High yield livestock need a high quality basic ration. Ruminants are fussy about their forage. The quality of their basic ration will determine whether your animals consume the forage in high quantities, or not.
What they like most is basic ration that is clean and tasty. The amount of concentrates used can be reduced. This cuts forage costs while at the same time improving animal health. The bottom line is that you benefit from clean, high quality forage with more profit from your farm business.
But mountainous terrain places high demands on technology when it comes to harvesting the best quality basic ration. At PÖTTINGER, we also focus on the best ground tracking and maximum forage conservation with our light ALPIN range of machines that are designed to work on steep inclines.
The harvesting process - especially tedding - always applies mechanical stress to the forage. Depending on the rate of wilting, there is a greater or lesser risk of losing valuable organic nutrients through disintegration losses in the field. The drier the forage, the higher the risk. Forage conservation is therefore the be-all and end-all.
With our ALPINHIT tedders, you can reduce the risk of disintegration losses to a minimum thanks to the small diameter of the rotors in combination with matched rotor speeds. The optional MULTITAST jockey wheel system delivers ideal ground tracking and prevents dirt ingress in the forage.
