First In – First Out: The Right Feed in the Right Order

Key Benefits of FIFO

• No old feed remains in the silo
• Consistent and fresh feed supply
• Reduced risk of mold or quality deterioration
• Confidence that you always feed the correct ration for the intended period

The FIFO principle is especially important when nutritional values change over time or when working with precise feeding programs.

One of the greatest advantages of MAFA’s silo systems is the First In – First Out (FIFO) principle. This means that the feed loaded into the silo first is also the feed that is discharged first.

Natural Ventilation Reduces Condensation – and Protects Your Feed

Moisture is one of the biggest challenges in feed handling. If condensation forms inside a silo, it can quickly lead to:

• Compacted feed
• Mold growth
• Reduced quality
• Difficulties during emptying

MAFA silos are designed with natural ventilation, allowing air to circulate and remove condensation and excess moisture. This is a simple yet highly effective solution to protect feed without relying on mechanical systems.

Gentle Filling via Cyclone – Feed Retains Its Structure

During filling, feed is at its most vulnerable. High air pressure and poor filling techniques can crush pellets, break feed mixes, and cause nutrient loss.

MAFA’s system uses cyclone-based filling, which ensures:

• Soft and gentle handling
• Minimal feed spillage
• Preserved structure and quality
• Less dust and fines inside the silo

For feed that will pass through automatic feeding systems or be mixed with other components, maintaining structure is crucial for performance and nutritional integrity.

Even Discharge Without Separation – Stable Feed Quality

A common issue in simpler silo systems is separation. This occurs when different particles in the feed move and settle unevenly, resulting in a discharge that no longer matches the original feed mix.

MAFA’s design prevents this through:

• Conical bottoms for optimal flow
• Smooth inner walls that promote mass movement
• Construction that moves feed as a single mass

The Result

• Even discharge
• No separation of fine and coarse fractions
• Stable nutritional values at every feeding

This is especially important for sensitive feeding programs or when using complete feed mixes, where nutritional balance must remain precise.

Simpler and Safer Working Environment

An efficient silo system reduces manual work during feeding. This means:

• Less lifting and lower physical strain
• Cleaner working environment
• Fewer steps where errors can occur
• Better overview of inventory levels

With the right equipment – such as level indicators, suction and blowing systems, and dosing solutions – the work becomes both easier and more reliable.

Flexible System Adapted to Your Farm’s Needs

MAFA offers silos in multiple sizes, materials, and designs, making it easy to customize the system based on:

• Animal type on the farm
• Feed consumption
• Existing buildings and layout
• Chosen feeding method
• Accessibility for trucks and transport

Whether you operate pig production, cattle, poultry, or use silos for grain or pelleted feed, MAFA has a solution that fits your requirements.

Long Service Life and Low Operating Costs

Thanks to robust construction, high-quality materials, and well-engineered details, MAFA silo systems offer an exceptionally long lifespan. This means:

• Lower costs over time
• Fewer operational interruptions

With MAFA’s smart design, natural ventilation, and gentle cyclone filling, farmers get a solution that:

• Streamlines the entire workflow

• Improves feed quality
