Grain Crimping Services
Grain crimping is a cost-effective way to produce high-quality feed for all types of livestock, including ruminants, pigs and poultry. This innovative method increases profitability by reducing costs and improving animal productivity. Grain crimping is suitable for practically all crops, such as barley, oats, wheat, maize, peas, beans and mixed grains.
- Appetising and nutritious feed
- Reduced labour costs
- Up to 30% higher grain yields by selecting grains and reducing harvest losses
- Smaller carbon footprint compared to dried or ground grains
- Shorter exposure time to crop losses caused by insects
- Harvest 2 to 3 weeks earlier than normal, optimal moisture 30–45 %
- Longer threshing period, less reliant on weather
- Feed ready in approximately 3 weeks after ensiling
- Significantly lower preservation costs compared to drying and milling
- Faster planting-harvesting cycle depending on growing zone
- No need for silos or dryers
- Grain is crimped and ensiled at once
- Easy and fast
- The most effective way to store feed grain
Crimped grain enhances animal health and saves costs in farming, harvesting, drying and storing crops.
In the crimping process, the grain is harvested earlier when it is still moist and run through a specialised Murska crimping mill, which breaks and flattens the grains. Approximately 3 to 5 litres per tonne of additives are used. Crimped grain is stored in airtight plastic tubes, bunkers, horizontal silos, clamps or tower silos.
