Swine

No other Feed Storage System on the market today can match the levels of preservation that Harvestore silos provide. We were the first to introduce oxygen limiting storage and still provide the most oxygen limiting environment for feedstuffs for the modern day farm. Alternative's to Harvestore Technologies, although similar in concept, will not provide the same benefits to your operation and should be carefully considered over the long term use of their existence.

The Fermentation Advantage

The advantage of high moisture corn after fermentation is the low ph (between 4 and 4.5) during storage depresses the growth of undesired micro organisms and leads to a stabilization of the gut flora of the animal and increases the availability of protein and vitamins.

Gains

• Increased feed efficiency.
• Increases palatability.
• Increase soluble nutrients.

Supplemental Phosphorous Saved

• Reducing supplemental phosphorous saves money.
• A pig that eats 700 lbs of feed during its grower/finisher period will consume .57 lbs (.259kg) less phosphorous if a high moisture corn diet is formulated using available phosphorous values.(HM corn 52% available phosphorous vs. dry corn 12% available phosphorous)
• A 100 sow farrow to finish operation marketing 20 pigs per sow per year can decrease its dicalcium phosphate purchases by 3.1 ton annually.
• If environmental regulations limit the maximum allowable phosphate level in soil, then decreasing manure phosphorous content reduces the number of acres needed for a given size of swine operation.
