Feed Handling Recommendations |
- During hot months, keep supply on hand for a
maximum of one month.
- Store feed in bins when possible. Floor,
wagon, and other methods will work, but due to the
nature of pellet it can draw moisture which will
cause breakdown.
- Handle feed through augers as little as
possible.
- Put Tend-R-Leen pellet in mixer after corn and
mix for as short as possible. (It doesn't
take much to mix.)
- Don't store corn/pellet mix for more than one
week if possible, especially during hot months.
- Watch corn to maintain a moisture level below
15% and keep corn temperature within 20% of
outside temperature. Cold corn will sweat on
hot days and moisture will go into the pellets.
- Clean feeders and keep them properly adjusted.
- Use good bin management by completely cleaning
out the bin every couple of months.
