- Harvesting
- Target dry matter for Maize is 32-35% and wholecrop 35-60% with a chop length of 3-5cm.
- Avoid leaving frosted maize too long in the field as yeasts and molds grow on the leaves impairing digestibility.
- Roll clamp continuously during harvest.
- Crimped Grain
- Aim for 35-45% moisture content.
- Minimize delays between harvest and crimping.
- Add additional water if grains are dry.
- General Clamp Guidelines
- Minimize aerobic spoilage by side sheeting always double sheeting the clamp, using a vacuum barrier film sheet as the underlayer.
- Cover top sheet with Zill mesh cover and sandbags to protect from birds.
- Use a net over the face if birds are a nuisance.
- Control vermin to avoid losses and damage.
- Minimize face area opened at any time.
- Never pull the sheet down over the clamp face once the clamp is opened.
- Scrape down the clamp face to avoid air ingress.
