Abstract

In the process of harvesting fibrous fodder an important and negligible requirement is the appropriate shredding of the fiber feed directly or indirectly into the composition of animal feed, whether it be fresh fodder, high moisture or fodder feed or even dried. The degree of comminution of feeding stuffs decisively influences the speed of assimilation by animals of the administered feed, implicitly their weight gain, the profitability of the respective cattle farm and not only. In the paper are presented the possibilities of technically obtaining a finest shredding of fibrous fodder, especially by using multirow knives in the feed channel of self-loading hay trailer. However, these technical solutions also have certain disadvantages in the daily operation of such machines.
