The alfalfa crop is cut at the early
flowering stage to ensure high quality forage and the retention of nutritious leafy
materials, and then only partially field dried to minimize the effects of weathering. The
alfalfa is then picked up, chopped and rushed to one of our seven processing plants where
it is dehydrated, ground into meal, and processed into pellets. This rapid drying process
preserves the nutrients in the alflafa and reduces solubility of protein. The
reduced protein solubility improves protein utilization and increases the feed
effectiveness of alfalfa. After processing, the pellets are cooled and transfered to large
storage bins where additional aeration takes palce. Temperature monitoring is constantly
conducted to guarantee consistent quality and high crude protein. After sufficient
cooling, the pellets are ready for shipment. Laboratory analysis is conducted during
processing, storage and shipment to ensure that customer product quality specifications
are met. Alfalfa pellets and chunks are blended to your specifications in truckload,
railcar, bargeload, and shipload quantities at competitive prices. Whether you are looking
to purchase a single ton, truckload, weekly multiple railcar delivery, bargeload, or
shipload, a phone call or FAX to Ohio Blenders, Inc. will connect you with people that are
ready, willing, and able to supply you with the alfalfa pellets and chunks that you
require, at the right price.
