Agridek silage pit cover system for high-quality feed management

Silage pit system with automated tarp covering for consistent feed quality and reduced waste

or

Detail description

Good quality silage is crucial for boosting milk production and profitability in dairy farming. The Agriddek system, developed by Aeres University of Applied Sciences Dronten, uses a lasagne-style silage pit with an automatic tarpaulin cover that fills with water to prevent air exposure. This method ensures optimal silage quality, reduces feed and plastic waste, and delivers consistent feed across all layers. It significantly cuts labour and management time while supporting efficient, large-scale grass cutting. The system requires a major upfront investment and additional space, often needing a new pit location. Ideal for dairy farmers seeking high-quality, uniform feed and improved efficiency.
