Chaff Cutters in Dairy Farming

Chaff cutters are essential equipment in dairy farming, used primarily to cut straw, hay, and fodder into small, digestible pieces for livestock. They help improve feed efficiency, reduce wastage, and support better animal health and milk production.

🔹 What is a Chaff Cutter?

A chaff cutter is a machine designed to chop dry or green fodder like grass, maize stalks, or sugarcane tops into small, uniform sizes. This chopped feed is easier for cows to digest and mix with other components like silage, concentrates, and minerals.

🔹 Importance in Dairy Farming

✔ Improves Feed Digestibility: Shorter fodder pieces are easier for cows to chew and digest.
✔ Reduces Wastage: Animals are less likely to leave feed uneaten when uniformly chopped.

✔ Ensures Uniform Mixing: Chopped fodder mixes better with silage and concentrates.
✔ Supports Mechanized Feeding: Easier to load into TMR (Total Mixed Ration) machines or feed wagons.
