Ireland’s leading ag-tech companies showcase their latest innovations

[DUBLIN, Ireland] – KEENAN, a leader in manufacturing quality mixer wagons, partnered with Ireland’s leading ag-tech companies to showcase how dairy and beef farmers can increase on-farm efficiency and improve profitability by implementing technologies related to animal nutrition, grassland management, nutrition data and animal sensors at the KEENAN Open Day.

Held Wednesday, June 20, the event featured best-in-class engineering and design, exhibiting the full range of KEENAN mixer wagons from 10 to 28 cubic metres. This included the renowned paddle range and the more recent vertical assortment in addition to the recently launched 177hp KEENAN MechFiber365 Self-Propelled machine.

“At KEENAN, we are passionate about collaborating with leaders in the ag-tech industry to deliver innovative solutions and provide sustainable resources to improve herd health, drive on-farm efficiency and increase profits for the farmer,” said Robert Walker, CEO of KEENAN. “We believe that many stakeholders in the supply chain are increasingly interlinked, and we seek to collaborate with them all.”

Attendees curious about new innovations in ag technology were invited to explore the latest products and services from Alltech Ireland, Moocall, Herdwatch, Grasstec, Maizetech, SAMCO, InTouch and AUCTUS.

“Farmers have had an exceptionally tough year with the volatile weather conditions,” said Cathal Gibbons, Ireland sales director for KEENAN. “To support farmers, we took the occasion to host dairy and beef seminars, which focused on, ‘Maximising forage options on-farm during the winter-feeding period’ in the dairy session and ‘Faster, younger finish for improved profits’ in the beef session.”
