CLAAS will soon offer Shredlage technology as a factory-installed or after-market option for the Jaguar line. The cofounders of Shredlage LLC, Manager Ross Dale and Technical Director Roger Olson, both dairy nutritionists, will continue to support CLAAS in the launch, rollout and ongoing support of this product enhancement.
Shredlage technology is a specific conditioning process that produces high-quality corn silage. The corn stalk is ripped lengthwise into planks and strings, effectively enhancing the fiber content, improving packing and exposing the inner cells of the plant for increased microbial activity. In this process, the corn plant is chopped significantly longer than before, but the corn kernel is still split several times.
“We at Shredlage LLC are grateful for the success of Shredlage technology and the significant impact it continues to have in the livestock industry,” explains Dale. “We are pleased with the Shredlage-CLAAS alliance and the future relationships we will create throughout the CLAAS network of dealers and customers. We look forward to supporting CLAAS in the nutritional aspect of Shredlage to assure optimum benefits to cows and profitability for producers.”
“Shredlage technology allows us to expand our local commitment in North America while continuing to implement our strategy as a global leader,” explains Dr. Henry Puhl, head of the grain harvesting business division of CLAAS, regarding the successful conclusion of the negotiations. FG
