We present top performance in silo removal

Our removal technology shows the outstanding results in the latest comparison test by Fachzeitschrift Landwirt. Our tried-and-tested “Silo Cat” silage clamps and “Silo Bucket” silage cutting buckets impress with their advanced technology and offer farmers efficient solutions for silage removal and feed distribution.

Successful performance in the comparison test

In the current comparison test by Landwirt.com, our devices were intensively tested and evaluated. The “Silo Cat” shear grab impresses with its robust tine design, which is specially optimised for grass silage, while the “Silo Bucket” shear bucket with a closed bucket base is particularly effective for short-fibre forage such as maize. Both models are characterised by minimal feed losses and maximum silage quality thanks to precise cutting technology and smooth cutting surfaces. You can see all the results in the video of the practical test.

Versatile application for different operating conditions

Our product range includes various models in the N, M, H and XL series, which can be flexibly adapted to different carrier vehicles. Different opening heights and installation depths enable optimum utilisation depending on the operating requirements. You can find all the different types here:

The mixture makes it possible!

Feed intake has a significant impact on profitability in a wide range of cattle farming operations. The right feeding concept usually quickly makes itself positively felt in the daily gain or in the milk yield. That is why many farmers already rely on the reliable PROFI MIX feed mixing technology from MAMMUT. To get even more out of a mixed ration from now on, we have made some optimizations to our feed mixers. Our new model series not only has a new design, but has been improved in terms of hopper volume and mixing quality.

Homogeneous mix rations thanks to intelligent technology

Nowadays, to achieve high performance levels with healthy animals, good herd management with the right feeding system is required. There is an endless range of options, particularly with feed mixing technology and the associated weighing devices. For the PROFI MIX range of feed mixers, MAMMUT offers simple adding scales as well as programmable weighing systems. Thanks to smart tools, these various scale sets can be adapted to suit on-site conditions – individually for every farm.

The practical advantages of a weighing system

Cattle really only enjoy eating tasty, high-quality feed. However, this also means that every animal tends to seek out its personal favourites from the ration presented – which means that lower-ranking cattle often do not get an opportunity to access the same calibre of energy supply as others. If you use a weighing system on the feed mixer wagon, this can deliver a few practical benefits:

  • Homogeneous ration: Every animal in each group gets the same high-quality feed from the same ration. This minimises selective feeding at the feed trough.
  • Stable pH value: The animals are motivated by uniformly weighed out mix rations to eat more frequently, which means that they maintain a consistent pH value in their rumen. This in turn means that feed rich in raw fibre (hay, straw, silage) can be presented in precise quantities. This prevents irregular amounts of power feed and the resultant fluctuations in rumen pH balance.
  • Performance-based feeding: With a weighing unit on the mixer it is possible to provide feed to individual groups based on their needs and to dose the required components accurately. Especially during the lactation phase it is important to provide cattle with sufficient nutrients and with a balanced ration. In contrast, dairy cattle who are not producing milk need to have different mixtures – having a scale equips you with a wide range of options.
  • Smart technology: Good herd management also includes putting together an appropriate mix ration. This is based on putting together a vast range of different weighing systems and feed components, controlled directly from smartphone or tablet. This tool is the ideal supplement for other digital Smart Farming concepts.
