Forage Smart

ForageSmart

Designed to maximise the quantity and quality of forage produced and utilised.

Key focus areas:

  • Using the latest research to formulate the highest performing & most suitable grass seed mixtures.
  • Grass budgeting, measurement and allocation.
  • Improve the quality of conserved forages.
  • Optimum use of concentrate feed indoors and at grass.
  • Targeted and appropriate weed control programmes.

 

Soil Smart

SoilSmart

Designed to maximise the productivity of soils & ensure the most efficient use of fertilisers and organic manures.

Key focus areas:

  • Soil pH and lime requirement.
  • Phosphorus and potassium requirements.
  • Chemical composition (Ca : Mg ratio).
  • Physical aeration to overcome problems associated with compaction.
  • Monitor and enhance soil biological activity.
  • Slurry treatment to improve it’s utilisation.
Nutri Smart

NutriSmart

Designed to supply the optimum level of nutrients in the correct balance & avoid wastage (energy, protein & minerals).

Key focus areas:

  • Adopting the most advanced diet formulation technologies to sychronise protein and energy digestion.
  • Formulating diets to PDI.
  • Formulating to UFL in addition to ME.

Measurement of Feed Efficiency at farm level - Every 0.1 move in FE is worth circa €100/cow/year (dairy sector).

Health Smart

HealthSmart

WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH VETERINARIANS TO IMPROVE ANIMAL HEALTH AT FARM LEVEL.

Key focus areas:

  • Monitoring animal health through milk screening/blood samples.
  • Assessing parasite levels through faecal samples.
  • Forage and milk mineral analysis to identify imbalances.
  • Targeted mineral packages for all livestock categories.
Rumi Smart

RumiSmart

Designed to provide ideal rumen conditions for the most effective nutrient digestion and absorption.

Key focus areas:

  • High quality forage based diet
  • Suitably balanced starch and fibre supplementation
