Tridge summary

The Rural Development Administration in South Korea has developed a hot wind-powered hay production system, which has been patented and is expected to revolutionize the production of hay. The system, developed by the National Institute of Livestock Science, can produce approximately 400 kg of hay per hour and offers convenience in distribution and livestock feeding. It also allows farmers to adjust the moisture content of the hay and provides the advantage of selecting a heat source. This system is set to replace expensive and unstable imported hay, improving the quality and standardization of domestic grass feed, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of the domestic livestock industry. Field demonstrations have been ongoing since June, and a pilot operation is planned for September.

The Rural Development Administration (Chairman Cho Jae-ho) announced on the 18th that the National Institute of Livestock Science developed a hay production system using hot wind that makes hay with hot wind and applied for three related technologies for patents. The system can produce about 400 kg of hay per hour through a three-step process including dismantling, cutting, hot air drying, and compression packaging. The moisture content of hay can be adjusted according to the needs of the farmer, and it is characterized by high convenience in distribution and livestock feeding as it can be compressed and packed in units of 10 to 15 kg. In addition, it is a great advantage to be able to select a heat source according to the conditions such as gas, electricity, wood compressed fuel (pellet), cow solid fuel, and waste heat. The Rural Development Administration developed this system to overcome difficulties in manufacturing domestic hay (dry grass feed). Although hay is ...
