THE INTOUCH PROCESS:

InTouch is a live review and support service with skilled nutritionists using simple technology to ensure your animals get exactly what they need every day. This service gives you and your existing feeding advisor much more control of your feeding system and its functionality is very simple. It provides constant improvement of your herd’s performance by giving you live information via the InTouch control box, a website application and telephone support from a team of top nutritionists who constantly monitor your herd. In this way, they can help you manage herd health, ration formulation, weight gains/yield and costs in order to free up cash-flow in addition to improving your profits. With a tool this efficient and powerful dairy farmers can achieve an extra 500 litres of milk without additional concentrates in an average of 2 years versus an industry standard of a minimum of 5 years. Using this system, beef farmers can achieve improved grades and hit market specification across a wide range of breeds and different production systems.

At our InTouch Centre, we are receiving up-to-the-minute data from thousands of farms from around the world. This provides leading-edge insights into how animals are fed and their performance. International industry norms show milk yield increases on average 80 litres more pa, taking 6 years to produce 500 litres more per cow. Using InTouch, our customer group produced 600 litres more per cow and a €200 per cow better margin annually than those herds just using Keenan mixer wagons.
