Serigstad AS and NIBIO launch research project on feed quality and sustainable forage

Serigstad AS is partnering with NIBIO in a new research project aimed at documenting how modern harvesting technology affects feed quality, resource use, and profitability in Norwegian forage production.

On Norwegian farms, a large share of profitability is decided during a few intense summer weeks. It is during the harvest that the foundation is laid for animal welfare, milk yield, and farm economics for the rest of the year. To obtain better documentation of the relationship between grass treatment and feed quality, Serigstad AS has entered into a collaboration with NIBIO.

Farmers around the world are getting more out of every working hour and every input factor. Margins are tight, and the need for smarter and more efficient solutions grows each season. The goal is to produce more without letting costs rise.

One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by optimizing the workflow in forage handling. When forage is harvested, cut, loaded, and handled with greater precision, the result is higher yields and lower operating costs. This is what many farmers internationally are experiencing today: better use of resources provides better results – even when inputs are expensive or limited.

A bale chopper from Serigstad helps automate heavy and time-consuming tasks in the barn. The machine cuts and distributes roughage, especially round bales, in a way that reduces feed waste, increases intake, and improves animal welfare. The result is more efficient operation and greater profitability for the farmer.

Serigstad offers several models – FlexiFeeder, ExactFeeder II with magazine, and WheelFeeder – allowing you to choose a solution that fits your farm’s size, management system, and level of automation. In addition, the Phoenix MultiCutter loading wagon is designed for harvesting with high feed quality.

In a daily routine where precision, animal welfare, and time management are crucial factors, the Serigstad TopFeeder provides a robust and efficient solution for belt feeding. With a focus on gentle transport and flexible design, the TopFeeder is a natural choice for modern barn operations with feed troughs.

Serigstad MaxiFeeder is designed for larger farms and barns with high feed consumption. It is a powerful and efficient round bale cutter that provides maximum capacity with easy operation and very low power consumption.

Efficient feed management is crucial for profitability in modern livestock production. With the Serigstad FlexiFeeder, you get a reliable and flexible solution for cutting and distributing round bales, ensuring optimal feed utilization and reducing workload.

When it comes to preserving the quality of this year’s forage, one factor often separates good feed from poor feed: proper preservation with a reliable acid applicator. With precise dosage control and capacity, you achieve better taste, safer storage, and more value from your effort.

Forage is one of the most important sources of nutrition for ruminants, and the right feed affects the quality of both milk and meat over time. To maintain the high standard of Norwegian forage production, agriculture is entirely dependent on having good tools. At Serigstad, we are proud to offer products that make farm management both easier and more efficient for each farmer. The right equipment contributes to a more efficient harvest

Norwegian agriculture is at the forefront globally when it comes to animal welfare. As part of Norwegian agriculture, we at Serigstad are focused on contributing to sustainable and responsible development of agriculture in Norway. We supply machinery for the production of animal feed to agriculture, so that animals can always have access to healthy and good feed.

Norwegian food production is known for producing high-quality food. This is not only due to the beautiful nature and the clean climate, but also the close cooperation between Norwegian agriculture and industry. They work closely together to ensure that Norwegian agriculture delivers good and healthy food to the population and ensures a stable food production.

For nearly 160 years, Serigstad Agri has been a key player in the agricultural industry, established as a provider of agricultural machinery in 1864. Since then, this Jæren-based agricultural company has developed and advanced the development of agricultural products that are used by farmers throughout Norway to this day.
