Outline of Final Research Achievements

Maize Wrap Machine is innovative in production　and transportation of self-supplied feed of animal industry and dairy industry in Japan. The result of our survey clearly shows three points. Firstly, Maize Wrap Machine enables us to preserve grass silage, maize silage and food residues for a long term. Secondly, compressed self-supplied feed and TMR by this machine makes possible distribution through a wide area. Thirdly, this machine changes the structure of feeding system by improving the efficiency of works on dairy farms in Iwate prefecture. Maize Wrap Machine can strengthen the international 　competitiveness of dairy industry in Japan and increase the rate of self-sufficiency in feed.
