If you’re a dairy farmer, there’s a host of excellent reasons to get yourself down to Sioux Falls, South Dakota at the end of March. None more essential than a visit to Tire Sidewall Depot’s booth #483C at the upcoming 2016 Central Plains Dairy Expo. Believe it or not, despite the importance of keeping silage contaminant-free, many dairy producers consider the labor-intensive, cumbersome job of properly sealing their silage bunkers unworthy of the time and effort required. They likely don’t realize that, left unprotected, dry matter losses in the top one to three feet can exceed 60% to 70%; a real problem since the heftiest portion of the silage is usually located there.

Leave a CommentSpoiled silage? You need bias ply truck-tire sidewalls
Let’s face it; anything spoiled is unappetizing … and spoiled silage is no exception. But unappetizing is the least of it. Tainted silage reduces herd intake and production by disrupting normal rumen function. This can lead to reproduction problems or impaired cattle health. If the silage is moldy, respiratory problems may develop and if the mold produces mycotoxins, the health issues can be even more serious.
1 CommentWorried about Salmonella? RX: 1 dose of bias truck-tire sidewalls
Salmonella (bacteria commonly found in the intestines of animals and birds) can be transmitted to people when they eat foods contaminated with it. If infected, people may develop salmonellosis (food poisoning caused by Salmonella bacteria), with symptoms that include diarrhea, vomiting, stomach cramps and fever.
Leave a CommentLactose intolerant? Bias ply truck-tire sidewalls can help
The role of milk products in the North American diet has sparked controversy for decades. It’s irrefutable that dairy provides a slew of nutrients necessary to our health – nutrients that are frequently difficult to absorb from other foods. Less well known perhaps are the myriad reliable, large-scale studies that have associated dairy foods with very important health benefits, including strong bones and reduced risks of hypertension, colon cancer and type 2 diabetes.
Leave a CommentChocolate milk tastes better with bias truck sidewalls
Concerns about the prevalence of childhood obesity have sparked controversy about whether or not school cafeterias should offer chocolate milk. This despite the fact that the American Heart Association’s Scientific Statement (2009) concluded that adding sugar to nutrient-dense foods (e.g., flavored milk and yogurt) improves diet quality in children and adolescents and does not increase weight.
Leave a CommentBunker silo truck-tire sidewalls … food for thought
Meeting the lifelong nutritional and water requirements of livestock is imperative to maintaining their health and satisfactory performance, from the neonatal stage, through growing, finishing, breeding and, in the case of dairy cows, at various stages of lactation.
Leave a CommentProtect your product with ours
Maximizing ruminant livestock production depends on producing and storing superior silage. It is widely acknowledged that the best long-term silage storage choice for expanded dairy farms is bunker silos maintained with reinforced coverage to prevent aerobic contamination. Holding down silage covers to eliminate the infiltration of air is best achieved with tire sidewalls for bunker storage as they provide greater safety, reduce the size of the face, and reduce both packing and covering labor.
Leave a CommentAvoid disappointment: the best time to order bias truck-tires for use as silage covers is before you need them!
While there’s little, if any, dispute that bias ply truck-tire sidewalls are superior to radials when used as silage bunker covers, it’s a double-edged sword. Greater efficiency, safety, environmental friendliness, and reduced labor come at a price: greater demand. And greater demand often means shorter supply. The best way to avoid disappointment is to keep a keen eye on your inventory and reserve your order well in advance of running out … and call Danny Nadler.
