FAQ’S

The main activities of the drying plant involve the artificial drying of alfalfa or grass crop into bale or chunk. The dried product is then processed into horse feed, roughage for poultry and/or cattle feed.

Our drying plant has two drum drying installations. Both drying installations together have an evaporation capacity of over 90,000 liters of water per hour. The chopped crop is dried in a drying drum and processed into bale or chunk.

Lucerne is rich in protein and amino acids, making it an excellent supplement to concentrate feed for chickens. Moreover, alfalfa is artificially dried, which kills many fungi and bacteria. This feed will encourage chickens’ natural free-range behaviour and reduce boredom, which in turn reduces the risk of feather pecking.  

De Hartog Lucerne Mix is een zeer vezelrijk product die de ontwikkeling van de pens bij het jonge kalf stimuleert. Het hoge natuurlijke gehalte aan voedingstoffen zoals vitamine A, B, E, Biotine, mineralen en sporenelementen verbetert de weerstand en stimuleert een gezonde groei van het kalf. Door de temperatuurbehandeling tijdens het productieproces is de luzerne vrij van ziektekiemen zoals Para-TBC. De luzerne is kort gehakseld en daardoor nemen de kalveren dit in de eerste levensweken al goed op.
