1 Trioliet. Invents for you. Trioliet Feeding Technology Mark Kroese Efficient feeding, the basic for profitabel dairy farming

2 Programm Introduction Trioliet company Preparation to get good feed quality in the silo Efficient feeding from silo pit to the cows

3 Company movie

4 Trioliet Founded in 1950 by 3 brothers Liet 100% Family owned company 240 Employees Turnover 2016: 60 million Headquarter in Oldenzaal, the Netherlands - Total area 5 ha - 50% under roof Warehouses in USA, China, France and the UK Specialized in feeding equipment only Strong worldwide dealer network for sales, service and parts Strategy: - Innovative (patents) 15% of people on R&D/Engineering - Market-oriented - Specialized in feeding techniques only - High quality

5 Export World wide, more than 50 countries Total Export about 80%

6 Trioliet. Invents for you. Development & innovation 45 patents world-wide More than 35 engineers and designers Custom-made

7 Product Range All about Feeding

8 Trioliet. Invents for you. Reduction of feed losses from silage clamp to cows

9 Labour The labour factor for feeding on average farms is over 20% of the daily work

10 Feeding costs Milk price / KG milk Cost price / KG milk Feeding costs / KG milk Feeding costs are the biggest part in the cost price for a KG milk

12 Preparing good feed

13 Preparing good silo

14 Preparing good mix

15 3 types of feed losses Losses on feed structure (fiber) Heating losses Spillage during feeding

16 Losses on feed structure (fiber)

17 Losses on feed structure (fiber)

18 Losses on feed structure (fiber)

19 Loss of structure Dr. Olaf Steinhöfel, Fachtag Bau & Technik, Köllitsch,

20 Heat losses stocking feed

21 Heat losses

22 Heating in the silo Dr. Olaf Steinhöfel, Fachtag Bau & Technik, Köllitsch,

23 Spillage during and after feeding

24 Spillage during and after feeding

25 Feed losses Losses from silage clamp to stable On average 10 to 15% By 50% reduction of these feed losses its possible to save 100,-/cow on a yearly basis How can you minimize feed losses from silage clamp to cows?

26 Spillage during and after feeding

27 Spillage during and after feeding

28 Only 30% is really mixed well Factors that influence mixing results Bron ; dr Leahy

29 Auger knife positions Short / long auger knives Different auger knife setups per ration

30 Auger knife condition: Worn auger knives leads to: Bad cutting performance Bad mixing quality Longer mixing times Higher fuel consumption Check the condition of the auger knives regularly, so you can replace the auger knives on the right moment!

31 Loading sequence and mixing time Loading sequence: Start with long and dry ingredients End with wet and short ingredients Example loading sequence: 1. Straw/Hay (Bales) 2. Gras silage 3. Grain (wheat, grinded corn) 4. Dry ingredients (Minerals, salt) 5. Proteins 6. Corn silage 7. Liquids Mixing time after loading the last ingredient: Minimum 3 minutes (average ration) Maximum 5 minutes (average ration) Mixing time after loading the last ingredient can vary depending on the ration.

32 Why do we prefer cutting feed? 1. Harmless to feed structure (fiber) 2. High capacity 3. Low energy requirement (fuel economy) 4. Clean and tight silo face
