Higher Milk Production Starts With Forage Harvesting Technology

How dairy producers can use technology in the field to unlock forage quality. 

OMAHA, Neb., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- To celebrate June Dairy Month, CLAAS wants help dairy producers find more operational efficiencies in the field for higher milk production and improved cow health. The CLAAS JAGUAR^® line of forage harvesters do just that. These advanced harvesting machines give dairy producers a leg up during harvest time through unmatched chop quality and kernel processing, plus unique SHREDLAGE^® technology.

With a wide variety of processors and cut lengths to choose from, the JAGUAR forage harvester increases the surface area of the chopped forage and fully processes corn kernels. This leads to better bacterial fermentation during ensiling and ultimately, better digestion in the rumen.

For those who prefer the specific benefits of SHREDLAGE corn silage, the JAGUAR line is available with an optional SHREDLAGE processor. This, coupled with the new V-FLEX cutting drum, makes it easy to produce the longer-length, shredded silage that is often recommended by dairy nutritionists. Plus, SHREDLAGE silage is easy to pack with minimal rebound effects for the best quality.

"We've been running the CLAAS chopper for about 25 years," said Eric Leyendekker, owner of Washington-based Hidden Valley Farms. "A lot of it is just the quality of the product that comes out of the machine. That helps with the digestibility of the corn and the cows when we're feeding it."

For dairy producers and custom silage harvesters, investing in innovative tools provides obvious returns. CLAAS is an equipment partner committed to building top-performing forage harvesters and implements that are durable, reliable and feature the latest technology.
