Fodder Stores and Silage Pits
Hay barns, fodder stores and silage pits that keep feed through the dry season.
About Fodder Stores and Silage Pits
Livestock farmers lose milk and weight when feed runs out in the dry months. We build roofed hay and fodder stores with raised floors and concrete silage pits or bunkers, sized to the number of animals you keep, so that feed can be preserved safely.
What we do
- Sizing based on herd or flock and feeding period
- Foundations and raised or sloping floors
- Roof and open-sided or walled structure suited to hay or silage
- Concrete silage pit with side walls and effluent drain
- Ramps for loading, compaction and unloading
- Handover and guidance on feed storage
What we need from you to quote
- Number and type of animals to be fed
- Feed to be stored, such as Napier, maize silage, hay or crop residues
- Site location and drainage
- Quantity of fodder you plan to store per season
- Access for tractors and trailers
- Existing sheds or milking areas nearby
