This week, I’m prepping to speak on a panel for the United Nations Food Systems Summit. The event will focus on the future of safe, nutritious food, advancements in production agriculture, “sustainable” diets, systems changes due to COVID-19, climate-friendly foods, and creating a system that is resilient to global stressors.

The recent Alltech ONE Ideas Conference looked at the dairy sector and dove into topics on climate change, emissions, feed use and consumer expectations. Many aspects in this industry were covered, including opportunities, solutions and challenges in the dairy sector. We summarise some of the highlights that were brought to the forefront during this event.
One of the topics addressed at the recent virtual Alltech ONE ideas conference was how to feed our livestock in the future. Several speakers discussed how to take into account the carbon footprint, sustainable feed sources and human and animal health, while producing enough food in the future.
As pork production around the world is ramped up to cater for increased demand, pig housing and technology is also being developed at a fast pace. 2 Speakers at the recent Alltech ONE ideas virtual conference, held June 22-24, focused on their work in these specialist areas. In addition, keynote speakers zoomed in on more general actual themes.

Richard Armstrong runs a mixed dairy and beef enterprise, along with his father and brothers, in Cookstown, Co. Tyrone. His dairy herd consists of Holstein-Friesian cows, which are housed year-round. He also finishes Hereford offspring, along with a number of bought-in cattle.
Last year, Richard noticed increased sorting of silage, leading to unnecessary feed waste. To improve usage of his homegrown feed, Richard decided to purchase a KEENAN Approved-used diet feeder that yielded great results.

KEENAN Approved-used diet feeders are fully refurbished machines that have undergone detailed reconditioning in the KEENAN factory (e.g. shot-blasted, painted, fitted with heavy-duty top knives, body blades, paddle rubbers and seals).
Richard’s rations consist of homegrown grass silage, barley, a balancer premix and AlltechMycosorb®.
“The KEENAN six-paddle system, supported by the InTouch nutritional team, ensures a consistent ration, making it easy to achieve the same mix quality every day, with less feed wastage.”
