The InTouch support is great. I just call up if I need any changes done or the internet is down and they are more than willing to help. I suppose the best thing about it is, given that I feed everything through the wagon, they are looking after all the animals for me. This and the consistency of the mix is number 1.
Milk has gone up around 1 litre, butterfat improved and there is definitely less stomach upsets. Diet feeding makes cows last longer and we enjoy seeing healthy cows milking well.
For me, InTouch Controller is superb, the InTouch support is great. I can base my simple buffer diet of silage, concentrate and straw on the weather and grass availability
Achieving a 75% first service to conception left me amazed to be honest; I’d have laughed at anybody who told me it would improve so much, but I’ve seen it happen here.
I’ve seen significant improvements in the health of my cows due to the use of the new KEENAN MechFiber mixing system. It’s hard to quantify this on paper but, holding afterbirth problems that I had are now gone. Because my cows are eating a reliable and consistent mix they are healthier, more content and performing better.
Producing an average of 31 litres per cow per day, with a butterfat of 4.3% and protein of 3.4%, we attribute this success to the consistent mix quality from KEENAN and the control which InTouch provides.
I felt that KEENAN was a good recognised brand and the best feeder to mix. People told me it would add to my workload, but i felt it as lessened once I got myself into a feeding routine. The KEENAN is easy to manoeuvre, very compact, and a very sturdy machine.
I don't know how I would survive without either the feeder or Intouch now. The InTouch nutritionist provides me with regular advice and I can easily adjust my feeding to suit grass supply and the cow's requirements. I don't need a calculator to do this as the information is already on my when I get there in the morning. It's all done for me
