Maize Chopping and Forage Preparation Services
Silage chopping is an important step in preparing green maize and other suitable forage crops for preservation as livestock feed. The harvested crop is cut into smaller pieces before being transferred to a suitable storage facility for compaction and fermentation.
Farmers looking for maize chopping services in Kenya should plan harvesting, chopping, transport and storage together. Correct chopping, suitable moisture management, thorough compaction and airtight sealing all contribute to successful silage preservation.
Contact Venrock Farm to enquire about silage making services and discuss the requirements for your farm. Service availability and charges should be confirmed before making arrangements.
Our Silage Chopping Service Process
Planning these stages in advance can help coordinate silage chopping and preparation on your farm.
1. Crop and Farm Assessment
Share your crop type, estimated quantity, farm location and harvesting schedule when enquiring about forage chopping services.
2. Service Planning
Discuss the preferred date, access to the farm, expected workload and any transport or equipment arrangements that may be needed.
3. Storage Preparation
Prepare a suitable silage pit, bunker or storage system before chopping begins. Organise labour and covering materials in advance.

After chopping, distribute the forage appropriately, compact it thoroughly and seal the storage system promptly to limit exposure to air.
