Cereal straw

DESCRIPTION

As we know, autumn-winter cereal straw is essential in farming as a fibre composition of rations or also in dairy production.
Through our processing, it can be cut up into different lengths ranging between 3 and 10 cm.

Straw is pulverized and freed of foreign bodies in order to allow a higher level of sanitation compared to traditional field products.
This minimises the infections that may develop in animals’ airways, as well as in the mammary tissue of those animals producing milk.
Moreover, its advance cutting up facilitates the mechanical spreading of the product with considerable energy and, therefore, economic savings.

CATEGORIES
Pulverized cereal straw

First quality straw cut up and packaged according to processes that leave its original characteristics unaltered.
The straw thus processed cut up in a range of 3 to 10 cm, is packaged in high density bales, so to obtain the greatest possible weight for each bale.
The bales’ average weight depends on their length and it varies between  200/600 kg, so that it maximises the vehicle’s loading weight and therefore it reduces the costs of transportation.

Cereal straw pellets

This type of pellet is obtained from first quality straw that is pulverized and pelleted using processes that prevent the alteration of its original  nutritional characteristics without the addition of adhesives and additives.
It comes in different sizes depending on the demand, usually it ranges between 6-8 mm in diameter.
In certain circumstances this product is a viable alternative to the cut up product, depending on the type of lairage.

Dried fodder

DESCRIPTION

La Romana Farine transforms both alfalfa and fodder deriving from mixed meadows mainly consisting of grasses and clovers, which are cultivated in neighbouring hills.
These types of fodders are mainly harvested during the first cutting.

The type of dried fodder thus obtained shows a significantly reduced protein content compared to alfalfa.

Nonetheless, this feed is intended for the breeding of fattening animals (bovine, ovine and caprine animals) or stock animals (equine and breeding animals).

 

 

 

 

 

 

CATEGORIES
Hay bales

Obtained during the first cutting of natural grass which is selected and dried.
Natural grass fodder that is cut up, dried and pressed in bales using processes that leave their original nutritional characteristics unaltered.
The first cutting in bales occurring in May is a fodder that has great nutritional composition, rich in carbohydrates (fibre and sugars).

Thanks to the long fibre, the fodder obtained from the first cutting allows to stimulate chewing and rumination.
Dried fodder is packaged in bales weighing between 400/800 kg.

Hay pellets

Fodder that is transformed into pellets can be used in different ways, both for the feeding-stuff industry, and also for the direct feeding of fattening and stock animals.

The first cutting in pellets occurring in May is a fodder that has great nutritional composition, rich in carbohydrates, protein and other components that are present in smaller amounts but still important for the body, like minerals and vitamins.

Pellets facilitate storing and handling, with a prolonged preservation of the product , they also assure an easy use during all periods of the year and in all farming conditions.

Sizing of the pellets may differ, starting from 6mm in diameter.

Alfalfa

DESCRIPTION

Our main product is Alfalfa,  which grows in neighbouring fields according to traditional methods, with the use of the most modern cutting and harvesting equipment.

Fodder picked on the alfalfa, which lives an average of four years, is taken to a factory and it undergoes the process of artificial dehydration until it reaches the appropriate degree of humidity, necessary for its preservation during the following months, also thanks to facilities that are equipped with hot air generators, exclusively produced with environmental-friendly gas.

Alfalfa fodder, notoriously classified among the products known for their protein content and quality, is also used for highly digestible quality fibre intake in the nutrition ratio.

CATEGORIES
Dehydrated alfalfa bales

Thanks to the artificial dehydration process, the product is able to maintain a high amount of protein, beta-carotene, vitamins and mineral salts.
This process prevents the formation of mould and toxins, that might cause disturbance in the cattle.

The quality of the product differs according to the mowing periods. Of the four or five mowings that are done every year, the richest in protein are the last ones, while the most valuable for fibre are the second and third.
This is how dehydrated alfalfa is packaged:

  • inbales, with an average weight range of 400/800 kg.
  • in pelletswith different sizing, starting from 6 mm in diameter.
