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.

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.

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).

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.

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
• Use of rumen enhancers & modifiers to improve rumen activity (Yeasts, Buffers & Essential Oils)
