Cleaning of feed storage facilities – silos, floors, bays, bins – prior to receipt of new consignments of feed is important to maintain healthy and productive animals.
Removing residues from earlier feed consignments reduces the risk of contaminating fresh feed supplies. Remnants of old feed, especially within silos and bins, may cause feed spoilage and illness e.g., due to mould, or give rise to residues from contaminants and deterioration of feed quality.
