Keenan’s NEW Mech-fiber® BEEF
System delivers...
...a 12% improvement in daily liveweight gain from 19p less feed per kg of gain altogether giving a margin lift of 25p/head/day.
Based on optimising the physical presentation of rations to drive the highest levels of conversion of feeds into meat, Keenan’s unique, NEW Mech-fiber feeding technology has been proven to add £47 of margin to every head of cattle finished.
“Feed Conversion Efficiency has risen from 116 to 154 kg of gain per tonne drymatter of feed with Mech-fiber Beef - that’s an improvement of over 30% in little over six months. Our feed costs have dropped dramatically and our margin per head has risen from 85p to £1.70/day. The figures really do say it all.”Alan Gamble
Palace Farm, Nr. Jedburgh, Borders. “Our Feed Conversion Efficiency has improved by over 10% and our EU grading has gone up a point - worth £45/head - since using the Mech-fiber beef approach with PACE in our ‘beef from dairy’ finishing system. Daily liveweight gain has risen from 1.2 to 1.4kg/head/day and cost of production has fallen from 89p/kg to just 65p/kg.”
Will Kirby
Linton-on-Ouse, North Yorks.
“Our Mech-fiber feeder handles and processes all sizes of round bale silage and square straw bales which is essential for us. We saved on feeding 30t of rapemeal and two tonnes of minerals last year and we now achieve a growth rate of 1.6kg/head/day. This has made a huge difference to the overall efficiency our beef enterprise.”
Mike Riddle
Libbery Farm, Grafton Flyford, Worcs. “Feed Intakes with the Mech-fiber beef approach are superb. We’re finishing six weeks earlier and saving £40/head on feed costs. We’re hitting grade more consistently – worth 10p/kg – and have cut down on silage requirement considerably. It’s a great system.”
