Yes have been using it for about 5 years. For home grown cereals you cann't beat it. Saves drying the grain for storage, improves the protein of the grain, no dust when feeding out and the buffering effect (it tests at about a PH of 9).

Yeah it seems to good to be true. Was thinking of adlibing some frihol steers on it to fatten them quick?

Intakes might suffer. The stuff stinks

 

[Fergieman]

We do our steers on it on adlib hoppers.

Presumably the corn is ripe then , not like crimping when it can be cheesy ?

just found this thread; https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/maxxamon-treated-grain.27808/page-2

Yes the grain is ripe. 16-18% ideal but can be done wetter.

Why would you bother at 16%

 

[Fergieman]

Why would you bother at 16%

Increase protein, buffering, storage. Have you stored rolled barley in a heap at 16% and not had it heat.

Buffering is the biggest reason when feeding large amounts of home grown cereals.

To be fair I roll as I go grain keeps fine at 16% and urea is cheaper

Good start to the day, 2 heifer calves from 2 good cows. Shame about the weather!

Like the calves,clover even more!

Bit too much grass out there for a calving paddock

A lot of people around here just use Urea and don't bother with the Maxxamon Works just as well so I am told. P,M me if want I will put you in touch with a man knows more about it.

Add urea and then sheet it to create the ammonia gas to up the PH? Or urea added to the feed wagon to boost protein

Glad to see i'm not the only one crossing the Holsteins to fleckvieh...

We touch upon depression a lot on this forum and so when I spotted this I couldn't help but laugh. Look for the positives in life

I also saw this little guy on my wall around the dry cows earlier. I'm hardly into wildlife but it's nice to see our farm providing life to other forms of animals.

Use the same as you would Maxxamon. I have never done it but I know a man who knows all about it. PM and I will give you his number

Yeah a fleckvieh on one ( wurzl) and a Norwegian red on the other (nymoen)

If you're strip grazing Spring born calves how much kg/dm/head would you allocate, not getting any cake either

Allocate as much as they will eat
