QUESTIONS TO ASK THE RICE STRAW & WHEAT STRAW PRODUCER ABOUT THE STRAW

When considering the purchase of rice straw for livestock feed, it is important to con- sider the following :

• What are the crude protein, ADF, and moisture levels of the rice straw?
• How many days after harvest was it baled? (Quality decreases with time.)
• What was the nitrogen fertilization level (if CP is not known)? (The higher the better.)
• What percent grain retention is there in the heads? (More grain increases the energy value of the rice straw.)
• Did the harvester have straw choppers? Did it chop the straw in shorter pieces?
• Is there mold in the straw? (Mold may be harmful to cattle.)
• Has the straw been covered or rained on? (Rained-on straw is more likely to be moldy.)
• What size are the bales? (Handling cost per bale?)
• Were herbicides, pesticides, or desiccants applied to the rice that restricts it for livestock feed use?

HERE IS THE ANSWER ETON BIOMASS ENERGY HAS:-

• Crude protein:- Wheat Straw 2.6%
• ADF:- Avg. 50.0%
• Moisture levels:- 6 to 10%
• 2-3 days after harvest Rice & wheat straw is baled so as quality does not decrease with time.
• Higher nitrogen fertilization
• grain retention in the heads:- 2 to 3 %
• straw choppers has ability to chop it in different sizes as per customer need. for use of dairy farming finer chopping is opted.
• Mold free, quality is checked at every step of procurement
• Scientific Storage of the bales & straw is available with eton biomass energy.
• we manufacture bales of different size according to the customer need
• negligible use of herbicides, pesticides, or desiccants
