Keep your dairy herd free from the effects of heat stress
Many of us underestimate how easily rising temperatures can impact our dairy herds. However, your dairy cows can feel the effects of heat stress at lower temperatures than you might think, especially those in more temperate regions. This means that your dairy cows can feel the effects of heat stress throughout the year.

It is not uncommon to see a butterfat drop of up to 0.5% over the spring–summer period in grazing dairy cows. This can occur in the absence of significant signs of acidosis and lameness, so, over the last… more
MANAGING AND MAINTAINING BUTTERFAT IN EARLY-MID LACTATION
As we enter spring and see the temperature slowly begin to rise, a decline in milk fat and protein percentages becomes a more common occurrence. Lush, low-fibre grass can increase the risk of acidosis in the rumen, leading to poor digestion and reduced milk solids output. … more

Heat stress is an issue caused by rising temperatures in animal production operations. As the animals’ environment begins to heat up, it can impede performance, efficiency and, ultimately, overall production profitability.

The European Commission estimates that 50% of egg production has already moved to cage-free. For those farmers and integrators now working on their transition plan, it is time to think about new challenges or challenges that may be heightened with this new production system.

The European Commission has announced that by the end of 2023, a legislative proposal will be presented to phase out and prohibit the use of cages for several farm animals.

Unprecedented increases in farm input prices, mainly feed, fertiliser and energy, have created a lot of concern for farmers. Predictions made early in the year have been further revised due to the conflict in Ukraine and its financial and supply repercussions.
However, while farmers are worried, KEENAN believes that there are reasons to be optimistic too. There are many ways that farmers can… more
We love KEENAN for making our cow's milk!
We’re only just onto our 6th machine since 1991, which says a lot about the machine’s durability and reliability.
I’d say we take for granted the consistent mix quality now and have been really impressed in the technological advancements.
We know exactly what’s been fed every day, and with the InTouch system link with Uniform-Agri, we can match up… more
We’re finishing faster whilst feeding less!
Cattle growth rates have increased from the improved mix quality and consistency. Cow dung is more consistent indicating a healthier rumen environment. The fuel usage has also reduced considerably with the MechFibre over the previous tub machine, and the KEENAN is much kinder on our tractor – it’s no longer straining at start up with a mix or bouncing… more
