Actions Over Distractions

On farms across the country it is during times like these that test and demonstrate our strength and resilience. Everyday Alltech, KEENAN and InTouch are actively advising farmers on areas of efficiency and we want to help our customers adapt to the challenges during this time.

The Actions over Distractions initiative looks at the different areas needed to consider when making decisions on farm and will showcase practical solutions which can be implemented on farm, which day to day can be over looked.

Focus on fertility

In order to achieve improved target calving rates, farms must strive to optimise dry matter intake for cows throughout the transition period to minimise the level and duration of negative energy balance and body condition score loss during early lactation. Poor management of the cow during this critical phase in the cow’s life cycle can be attributed to a lot of the fertility issues linked to body condition loss, particularly at grass.
