TS 6318 - Determination of Moisture in Feed

The amount of moisture in the feed expresses the amount of free water in the feed. Moisture in feeds can be removed by heating, and the remainder is known as dry matter percentage or partial dry matter percentage. can be done. At the same time, the moisture content is determined and the dry matter percentage is determined.

- Storage humidity for grain feed should be below 14%.
- Humidity rate of feed used in silage should not fall below 26%.

Forage Determination method The steps are briefly as follows:
1- Heat the clean sample cup in the oven at 105 ºC for 1 hour.
2- Take the sample cup from the oven and leave it in the desiccators until it cools down, weigh and record the weight.
3- In the sample cup Put in approximately (1-2) grams of sample.
4- Leave the container containing the sample to process in the oven at 135 ºC for 3 hours.
5- After the drying time is over, take the sample container from the oven and place it in the desiccator until it cools. After cooling, take it out of the desiccator and weigh it.
