We saw an immediate and collosal saving in fuel which amounts to serious financial savings. The feeding operators love driving it, it’s simple, easy to move and leaves the clamp face really clean. It’s honestly the best mix we’ve ever had on the farm and our high yeilding cows are giving even more with the same amount of feed. #### **- TOM GETHIN, THE GAER, POWYS** --- --- ## The KEENAN MECHFIBER+ RANGE a change for the better **Results over the last 5 years for KEENAN first-time users have been tracked and measured using InTouch technology.**   ![Icons for landing page1\[2\]_web_400w-1](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/Icons%20for%20landing%20page1%5B2%5D_web_400w-1.png "Icons for landing page1[2]_web_400w-1") ![Icons for landing page2\[1\]_web-4002](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/Icons%20for%20landing%20page2%5B1%5D_web-4002.png "Icons for landing page2[1]_web-4002") ![Icons for landing page3\[1\]_web_400w](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/Icons%20for%20landing%20page3%5B1%5D_web_400w.png "Icons for landing page3[1]_web_400w") ![31 roi_web_transparent](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/31%20roi_web_transparent.png "31 roi_web_transparent") ## **3:1 ROI** Saving 2ppl on feed perhaps sounds little, but adds up to £20,000/annum or £1,666/month on an average 1,000,000-litre herd. **Our average ROI is 3:1. So for every £500 you invest in a KEENAN system, you get £1,500 back! The numbers really do stack up.** ## Find your ideal machine ### [![6.

In all those years, we have never missed a feed. We believe that the mix produced in the KEENAN MechFiber machine has a huge impact on improving herd performance and rumen health. This is backed up by the figures that we receive back from InTouch which allows us to monitor feed costs, which is hugely important in today’s climate. #### **- MICHAEL YATES** #### **EAST LOGAN FARM, DUMFRIES & GALLOWAY KEENAN MechFiber380 with InTouch T: 07712 852416** ![POPLE FAMILY FARM - MANOR FARM - WEB-100_web](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/POPLE%20FAMILY%20FARM%20-%20MANOR%20FARM%20-%20WEB-100_web.jpg) > ### “We’ve cut our mixing time by half!” > > We increased the size of our KEENAN this year to cut down on loads. The larger feeder was surprisingly easy to run and very good on diesel usage. We are saving 50% on mixing time and since we started using the new feeder mix quality has improved with this, we seen an increase in milk output also. #### **- COLIN POPLE** #### **MANOR FARM, DORSET KEENAN MechFiber380 with InTouch T: 07864 691226** ![Kevin Lawrie Myermill Farm WEB-1_web_450](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/Kevin%20Lawrie%20Myermill%20Farm%20WEB-1_web_450.jpg) [Find out more](https://go.alltech.com/keenan-testimonial-kevin-lawrie?hsLang=en) > ### “We love KEENAN for making our cows milk!” > > We’re only just onto our 6th machine since 1991, which says a lot about the machine’s durability and reliability. I’d say we take for granted the consistent mix quality now and have been really impressed in the technological advancements. We know exactly what’s been fed every day, and with the InTouch system link with Uniform-Agri, we can match up what’s going in with what’s coming out. This is invaluable in us making accurate decisions to reduce costs and improve performance. #### **- KEVIN LAWRIE** #### **MYERMILL FARM, AYRSHIRE KEENAN KEENAN MechFiber380+ with InTouch T: 07712 852416 ![J18540 - KEENAN MechFiber380+ (1)](https://go.alltech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/J18540%20-%20KEENAN%20MechFiber380+%20(1).jpg?width=199&height=159&name=J18540%20-%20KEENAN%20MechFiber380+%20(1).jpg)** ![Halhead Hero Image_450w](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/Halhead%20Hero%20Image_450w.jpg) > ### “WE’VE A BETTER HANDLE ON OUR FEED COSTS!” > > WITH THE NATION’S NO.1 FEEDER SYSTEM #### **- Phillip Halhead** #### **Lancashire KEENAN KEENAN MechFiber380 ![J18540 - KEENAN MechFiber380+ (1)](https://go.alltech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/J18540%20-%20KEENAN%20MechFiber380+%20(1).jpg?width=199&height=159&name=J18540%20-%20KEENAN%20MechFiber380+%20(1).jpg)** ![NIALL TEWSON - GRANGE FARM - WEB-101_web](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/NIALL%20TEWSON%20-%20GRANGE%20FARM%20-%20WEB-101_web.jpg) > ### “Our cows perform far more efficiently!” > > The reliability of service is great, along with the back up support through InTouch has been very important since buying the machine. We have seen feed conversion efficiency improve and productivity of cows has also improved. The consistency and accuracy of the mix since moving from the Strautmann is second to none. We are also saving time mixing leading to less diesel being used. #### **- NIALL TEWSON** #### **CROKERS GRANGE FARM, DEVON KEENAN MechFiber380 with InTouch T: 07864 691226** ![Chanter Hero Image-1](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/Chanter%20Hero%20Image-1.jpg) [Find out more](https://go.alltech.com/keenan-testimonial-tom-chanter?hsLang=en) > ### “We’re finishing faster whilst feeding less!” > > Cattle growth rates have increased from the improved mix quality and consistency. Cow dung is more consistent indicating a healthier rumen environment. The fuel usage has also reduced considerably with the MechFibre over the previous tub machine, and the KEENAN is much kinder on our tractor – it’s no longer straining at start up with a mix or bouncing on the front of the wagon. The reduced days on farm has saved over £60,000 in feed costs alone, plus we have increased throughput. #### **- TOM CHANTER** #### **GREENDALE FARM, SOMERSET KEENAN MECHFIBER400+ T: 07864 691226 ![J18735 - KEENAN MechFiber400+ 1 (1)](https://go.alltech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/J18735%20-%20KEENAN%20MechFiber400+%201%20(1).jpg?width=250&height=200&name=J18735%20-%20KEENAN%20MechFiber400+%201%20(1).jpg)** ![GARETH ROBERTS DENBIGHSHIRE-WEB-104_web](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/GARETH%20ROBERTS%20DENBIGHSHIRE-WEB-104_web.jpg) > ### “Mix quality and chop length is very consistent!” > > The new paddle design of the MechFiber Plus has seen our mixing times drop by 30% with much more consistent mix quality and chop length. The new machine is much easier driven on our 90hp tractor with the engine speed dropping from 1600rpm to 1400rpm (15% less) on the same mix. The larger feed-out tray makes discharge speeds on dry mixes much quicker. The InTouch system is much easier to use and there's a proactive relationship with the InTouch specialist and my nutritionist. #### **- GARETH ROBERTS** #### **BACH Y CRAIG, DENBIGH KEENAN MechFiber345+ with InTouch T: 07786 244010** ![Buchan Hero Image-1](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/Buchan%20Hero%20Image-1.jpg) > ### “We’ve enjoyed 40 years of flawless reliability!” > > The mix that comes out of the paddle mixer is better than any other feeder on the market. However, the main reason we stay with KEENAN is because of the service and back-up. The reliability of the feeder, and how easy it is to maintain is a huge benefit, especially in times where labour is short and time is precious. Even on the rare occasion when there is a breakdown, KEENAN were able to get something in place the same day to make sure we’ve never missed a feed. It’s no wonder they are still the market leaders for feed carts in the UK.” #### **- JOHN BUCHAN** #### **AUCHTYDORE FARM, ABERDEENSHIRE KEENAN MechFiber380+ with InTouch T: 07712 852416 ![J18540 - KEENAN MechFiber380+ (1)](https://go.alltech.com/hs-fs/hubfs/J18540%20-%20KEENAN%20MechFiber380+%20(1).jpg?width=199&height=159&name=J18540%20-%20KEENAN%20MechFiber380+%20(1).jpg)** ![Web-Jimmy Evans-41_web](https://go.alltech.com/hubfs/Web-Jimmy%20Evans-41_web.jpg) > ### “Our ration gives us greater returns!” > > The KEENAN mixer has been a great purchase for our business.
