Producing high-quality silage requires precise control of forage parameters during harvesting and baling. However, in many cases, key data such as dry matter and nutrient content are only available after laboratory analysis, when it is too late to optimize the process.
This is the challenge addressed by Saggiorato, a contractor company based in Bovolone (Verona, Italy), specializing in forage harvesting and vacuum-packed silage production.
To improve silage quality and process control, Saggiorato installed the EVONIR NIR analyzer by Dinamica Generale on an Orkel DENS-X high-density baler.
Mounted directly on the baler along the forage flow, EVONIR enables real-time analysis during bale formation, providing immediate insight into crop composition.
The system measures key parameters such as:
All data are available instantly in the tractor cab, eliminating delays associated with laboratory testing.
By integrating EVONIR into their workflow, Saggiorato has transformed the way silage is produced.
Real-time data allows operators to adjust baling conditions immediately, ensuring that forage is processed within the optimal dry matter range. This is critical for vacuum-packed silage, where incorrect moisture can compromise fermentation and final feed quality.
As a result, the company achieves more consistent silage quality across bales, reducing variability and improving overall process control.


For contractors like Saggiorato, delivering consistent and certified forage quality is a key competitive factor.
With EVONIR, each bale becomes a measurable and traceable unit, enabling:
The integration of EVONIR on the Orkel DENS-X baler demonstrates how precision agriculture technologies can enhance forage production.
By combining real-time NIR analysis with advanced baling systems, companies can improve silage quality, reduce risks and increase profitability.
