Overview
Cattle reject long, coarse stalks and trample what they leave behind. Cutting fodder into short lengths changes that: intake improves, digestion improves and fodder waste drops. A powered chaff cutter does in twenty minutes what hand cutting takes hours to do, which matters on a farm feeding animals twice a day, every day of the year. Most dairy households pick a machine by the number of animals they feed and the type of fodder they cut.

Chaff Cutter — frequently asked questions
- What is a chaff cutter used for?
- A chaff cutter is used to cut green or dry fodder into short, uniform pieces for cattle, buffaloes, goats and sheep. Short-cut fodder is easier for animals to eat and digest, which improves intake and reduces the fodder left uneaten in the manger.
- Which chaff cutter is suitable for a small dairy?
- For a household dairy feeding a few animals, a compact electric chaff cutter is usually enough. Larger herds or custom cutting work need a higher-capacity machine, and locations with unreliable power often prefer an engine-driven unit. Tell our team your herd size and we will suggest a suitable option.
- What is the price of a chaff cutter?
- Prices depend on the model, drive type, capacity and current offers. Contact Realish Agritech for the latest model-wise price and availability at your nearest outlet.
