Crimpstore Preservative

Essential for the effective preservation of high value crimped feeds

Crimpstore 2000S (and Crimpstore Premier for organic farms) available from Kelvin Cave Ltd, is applied by a pump applicator through the crimping machine. Both products work by directly acidifying the crimped grain, thereby minimising the amount of valuable rumen nutrients that could be lost in a poorly controlled fermentation. The formulation of both is designed to give maximum protection against spoilage organisms that could cause deterioration of the feed once the clamp or bag is opened at feedout. Crimpstore preservatives should be applied at the rates detailed on the container, or as advised by your Kelvin Cave Ltd representative.

Saucy Sally with Crimpstore   

Crimpstore application rates:
Cereals (including maize):
35% - 45% moisture                    3 litres per tonne
30% - 35% moisture                    4 litres per tonne
25% - 30% moisture                    5 litres per tonne

At the lower moisture levels it can help to add water by hosepipe, through the crimping machine. This can help to soften the grain to make consolidation easier.

Do NOT attempt to crimp grain below 25% moisture.

Consult your Kelvin Cave Ltd. representative for advice if you are unable to harvest at the recommended moisture.

Pulses:
 25% - 35% moisture 6 litres per tonne
. When crimping pulses it is advisable to add molasses, to help
with air exclusion. Consult your Kelvin Cave Ltd representative for further details.
